Production of potassium nitrate (NOP)
Potassium chloride is used for the production of premium chloride-free potassium nitrate fertilizer. Dissolved potassium chloride is reacted with a nitrate-containing substance, e.g. ammonium nitrate or sodium nitrate.
To ensure the required purity of potassium nitrate, it is necessary to use completely water-soluble hot-leach and low-impurity MOP produced by Uralkali.
