Description

General description

Potassium nitrate (KNO₃) is a water-soluble inorganic salt that is commonly used as a source of nitrate ions. It is also used as a cocatalyst in various organic transformations.

Application

Potassium nitrate can be used in the following:

KNO₃/Al₂O₃ is used as a base heterogeneous catalyst in the production of biodiesel via transesterification reaction.
KNO₃/Br₂ catalytic system is used for the aerobic oxidations of sulfides and alcohols.
