<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Potassium nitrate]] ({{chem2|KNO3}}) or saltpeter is obtained from natural sources such as [[guano]] and [[evaporites]] or manufactured via the [[Haber process]]; it is the [[oxidant]] in gunpowder ([[black powder]]) and an important agricultural fertilizer. [[Potassium cyanide]] (KCN) is used industrially to dissolve [[copper]] and precious metals, in particular [[silver]] and [[gold]], by forming [[complex (chemistry)|complexes]]. Its applications include [[gold mining]], [[electroplating]], and [[electroforming]] of these [[metal]]s; it is also used in [[organic synthesis]] to make [[nitriles]]. Potassium carbonate ({{chem2|K2CO3}} or potash) is used in the manufacture of glass, soap, color TV tubes, fluorescent lamps, textile dyes and pigments. [[Potassium permanganate]] ({{chem2|KMnO4}}) is an oxidizing, bleaching and purification substance and is used for production of [[saccharin]]. [[Potassium chlorate]] ({{chem2|KClO3}}) is added to matches and explosives. [[Potassium bromide]] (KBr) was formerly used as a sedative and in photography.</div>FuzzyBot
