Potassium hydroxide can be obtained by electrolysis of high purity aqueous potassium chloride solution. The type of electrolyzer used and the production process are similar to sodium hydroxide. When the diaphragm electrolyzer is used, the obtained electrolyte contains 10% - 15% (mass) potassium hydroxide and about 10% (mass) potassium chloride. After evaporation, concentration and cooling, most of the potassium chloride crystallizes and precipitates. After separation, the product containing 45% - 50% potassium hydroxide (containing 0.6% potassium chloride) is obtained. High purity potassium hydroxide can be produced by mercury electrolysis, but the content of heavy metal impurities in the aqueous solution of potassium chloride should be controlled below 0.1ppm to avoid high hydrogen content in chlorine gas. Special ion exchange membrane must be used for the ion-exchange membrane electrolysis. Potassium hydroxide is more difficult to dehydrate than sodium hydroxide. The purity of industrial solid potassium hydroxide is 88% - 92%. There are two kinds of solid: block and sheet. Liquid potassium hydroxide has two concentration specifications of 45% and 50%.
