Lite Salt

Potassium (K) Potassium is a silvery white metal. Because of its high reactivity, elemental potassium is not found in nature. Potassium chloride is a component in Lite Salt. Potassium and sodium ions are required for muscle contractions. 

I encourage you to use seasonings on your foods other than table salt. Lite salt, either made with all potassium chloride or a mix of potassium chloride and sodium chloride, is an improvement over table salt, although not a very good... 

Potassium chloride is present in some foods in small amounts. The compound is also used as a food additive to increase the acidity and to stabilize, thicken, or soften some food products, such as jams and jellies and preserves that are artificially sweetened. Many infant formulas also contain potassium chloride. Potassium chloride is also used as a nutrient for yeast cultures and in making beer. The compound is used as a salt substitute for people who are on low-salt (meaning low-sodium) diets. Some brand names of these products are LoSalt , Reheis Less Salt Blend , and Morton Lite Salt . 

Carbene adducts of a range of sulfur compounds have also been isolated.Carbene (1) (R = -Pr, R = Me) reacts with sulfur dichloride or thionyl chloride to yield the hyperva-lent sulfur derivatives (118) and (119). Similarly, reaction of carbene (2) (R = r-Bu) with SO2 led to the formation of the 1 1 adduct (2) S02 (120). In contrast, reaction of carbene (1) (R = -Pr, R = Me) with SO2CI2 affords the 2-chloro-l,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazoliumchlorosul-lite salt (121). A carbene adduct of SO3 (122) can then be isolated through hydrolysis of (121) in the presence of cyanide.

Potassium is the eighth most abundant element in the Earths crust, which contains about 2.6% potassium, but not in natural elemental form. Potassium is slightly less abundant than sodium. It is found in almost all solids on Earth, in soil, and in seawater, which contains 380 ppm of potassium in solution. Some of the potassium ores are sylvite, carnallite, and polyha-lite. Ore deposits are found in New Mexico, California, Salt Lake in Utah, Germany, Russia, and Israel. Potassium metal is produced commercially by two processes. One is thermochemical distillation, which uses hot vapors of gaseous NaCl (sodium chloride) and KCl (potassium chloride) the potassium is cooled and drained off as molten potassium, and the sodium chloride is discharged as a slag. The other procedure is an electrolytic process similar to that used to produce hthium and sodium, with the exception that molten potassium chloride (which melts at about 770°C) is used to produce potassium metal at the cathode (see figure 4.1). 

V occurs to the extent of 0.01% abundance in the earth s crust in ores such as patronite, roscoe-lite, carnolite and vandimite. Prepn is either by redn of V pentoxide with Ca (99.8+ % yield) or by electrolytic refining using a molten salt electrolyte contg V chloride...

Elemental phosphorus is not found free in nature, except in some meteorites. Phosphorus comprises 0.12% of the Earth s crust in the form of minerals (apatite, wave-lite, viviamte), and is always present in the form of a phosphate. Phosphoric acid combines with cations to form orthophosphate salts. If not all the hydrogen contained in phosphoric acid is exchanged with a metal. 

Use alum (fanshi), Turkestan salt (rongyan), lake salt (luxian), and arseno-lite (yushi), heating them first for twenty days also use left-oriented oyster shells zuogu muli) from Donghai, red clay chishi zhi), and talc (huashi). Take the desired amount of these seven substances in equal parts, and pound them together ten thousand times until they become powder-like. 

A flowchart of the production of potassium sulfete from the Great Salt Lake, U.S.A., is shown in Rgure 5.31. Water from the lake is pumped and distributed to shallow ponds covering an area of 19,200 acres. Solar evaporation causes the brine to reach saturation with sodium chloride, and the salt settles on the pond floor. Further evaporation of the brine in subsequent ponds results in the precipitation of kainite, sylvite, and camaF lite, which are harvested from the ponds for further processing. Fractional crystallization is used to separate the final potassium sulfate product from the other minerals 1110]. 

Hydroxylase DeGcIency. The 18-hydroj lase deficiency can present as infection triggered, life threatening salt-loosing state with hyperka lemia in newborns and young infants, ft is characterized by aldosterone biosyn thetic defects both in 18 hydroxlase deficiency (CMO I) and in 18 hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency (CMO If) [28]. The urinary steroid profile in 18-hy droxylase deficiency is characterized by increased excretion of free corticosterone and metabolites of corticosterone, while 18-hydroxylated corticosterone metabo lites are absent or very low. The excretion of cortisol metabolites is normal (Fig. 5).
