Electrolysis

Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is produced by electrolysis, using potassium chloride solution.

In recent years, membrane technology has been used in addition to the classical amalgam-process . For both procedures, the purity of the KCl brine used for electrolysis plays an essential role.

Due to its low contents of secondary substances, potassium chloride produced by the K+S GmbH is perfectly suited for chlor-alkali electrolysis and has been used successfully for many years all over the world.
