Applications · 3 items

UsesPotassium oxalate is a white crystal or powder made by neutralizing oxalic acid with potassium carbonate. It is soluble in water 1:3 but not in alcohol. Potassium oxalate was used as an early developer for gelatin plates but is best known as the developer for platinum prints.

UsesCleaning and bleaching straw, removing stains in photography; in vitro blood anticoagulant; also in analytical chemistry.

General DescriptionPotassium oxalate, K2C204, H20, is odorless, efforescent, water-soluble, colorless crystals that decompose when heated. Sinks in and mixes slowly with water. Used in analytical chemistry and photography, and as a bleach and oxalic acid source.

Preparation methods

PreparationOxalic acid is the main raw material for the preparation of potassium oxalate. It is prepared by reacting potassium carbonate with oxalic acid. The reaction equation is: K₂CO₃ + H₂C₂O₄ = K₂C₂O₄ + CO₂↑ + H₂O.
