Application

Combines under pressure with silver metal to form 2 new compounds: K2Ag and K3Ag.†
Potassium can be used in the synthesis of potassium containing solid-state chalcogenides with promising thermoelectric properties. It may also be used in the dehalogenation of 1,3-di-tert-butyl-2,2-dichloro-1,3-diaza-2-sila-4-cyclopentene to form 1,3-di-tert-butyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3,2-diazasilol-2-ylidene.

Hyperkalemia (serum potassium level, >5.0 mmol per liter) is associated with increased mortality among patients with heart failure, chronic kidney disease, or diabetes. We investigated whether sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (ZS-9), a novel selective cation exchanger, could lower serum potassium levels
