Potassium Oxalate Market to Set Enormous Growth in Forecast Period by 2021: Size, Share and Growth


Global Potassium Oxalate Consumption Market is segmented based on application, and region. The potassium salt of oxalic acid is a durable dicarboxylic acid occurring in several plants and vegetables. By the process of metabolism of glyoxylic acid or ascorbic acid, potassium oxalate is produced in the body but excreted in the urine. It is used as a wide-ranging reducing agent and as a systematic reagent. It is odorless, white crystalline, toxic organic compound that is soluble in water, ether, and alcohol with a chemical formula C2K2O4.It is hygroscopic as it observes moisture from the air.

Sodium oxalate is made by heating sodium formate in the presence of an alkali catalyst, which then changed to free oxalic acid when treated with sulfuric acid. Alternative process for the formation of potassium oxalate is by oxidizing carbohydrates with nitric acid. In organic compounds it is one of the strongest acids due to presence of two carboxyl groups that are joined directly.

It is widely used as a bleaching agent in paper and pulp industries, as an anticoagulant in medical tests, precipitating agent in rare-earth metal processing, wood industry, and wastewater treatment, rust remover for metal treatment, removing scale from automobile radiators and formerly in photography. In reactions that generate heat, potassium oxalate reacts as base to neutralize acids. It acts as a reducing agent in reactions that generate carbon dioxide.

When potassium oxalate is ingested it causes adverse effect on health such as burning pain in stomach, throat, and esophagus, exposed areas of mucous membrane turn white, weak pulse, vomiting, and may result cardiovascular collapse, and contact with skin or eyes causes irritation.

Potassium Oxalate Consumption Market is classified, by applications into Metal Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry, Medical Tests, Automobile Industry, and others. In Metal Industry, it is used to remove rust from metals and as a precipitating agent in rare earth metal processing. Whereas, it is used as bleach in textile and wood industry and remove scale from automobile radiators. Moreover, used as an acid-rinse in waste water treatment processes and in laundry. Also, used in during combat dentin hypersensitivity, that is pain occurs when the dentin is exposed to chemical, tactile, osmotic, thermal, or evaporative stimuli.


Potassium Oxalate Consumption Market is segmented, geographically into North America, Europe (Eastern Europe, Western Europe), Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa. Potassium Oxalate Consumption Market key players are, Langfang Pengcai Fine Chemical, CFM, Chongqing Southern Chemicals, SR FILTER AIDS SUPPLIERS, Zhengzhou PMP HuaQing Xin, Dr. Paul Lohmann GmbH KG, Luotian Yongfei Chemical, URANUS CHEMICALS, Hefei Asialon Chemicals, Shandong Baofeng Chemicals Group Corp, Youlian Chemical, and ShanXi Yuanping Chemical Industries Corp.
