    General description

    Potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution is a strong alkali widely used in chemical synthesis. Van Slyke apparatus and Hildebrand adsorption technique have been utilized to determine the solubility of oxygen in different concentration of KOH solution.[1]

    Application

    Potassium hydroxide solution may be used in the following processes:
    • Depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) flakes.[2]
    • Synthesis of potassium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate.[3]
    • As an eluent in the nonsuppressor ion chromatography to separate and determine inorganic and organic anions.[4]
    • Saponification of fruit seed oil to determine tocopherols and tocotrienols.[5]
