ARCANITE

ARCANITE = POTASSIUM

Arcanite is a potassium sulfate mineral with formula: K2SO4.
Arcanite was first described in 1845 for an occurrence in old pine railroad ties in the Santa Ana tin mine, Trabuco Canyon, Santa Ana Mountains, Orange County, California, US.
It has also been reported from hydrothermal deposits in the Cesano geothermal field, Latium, Italy; in bat guano on the Chincha Islands of Peru; and in caves in Western Australia, South Africa and Namibia.

Arcanite can also be referred to as either dipotassium or Sulfuric acid dipotassium salt. 

Arcanite occurs naturally in salt lakes and volcanic lava. 
Arcanite appearance is as a colourless white crystalline powder or simply crystals. 

Arcanite is purely odourless and has a hard, saline-like and bitter taste. 
Arcanite dissolves in water, but Arcanite is insoluble in ethanol.

Arcanite with chemical formula K2SO4.
Arcanite is a water-insoluble white crystalline potassium salt. 
Arcanite contains 50-53% potassium (K2O) and average sulfur content of 16-20%. 

Arcanite also carries sulfur, which is the necessary nutrient for the plants. 
Sulfur deficiency is used as a source of potassium and sulfur in cases. 

Arcanite is not to be confused with calcium compounds.
Arcanite is composed of acid salt and alkaline salt after 17th century and Arcanite has survived until today.

Arcanite is obtained from brine from the Salar de Atacama and is used in the manufacture of drywall in the construction industry.

Arcanite is registered under the REACH Regulation and is manufactured in and / or imported to the European Economic Area, at ≥ 1 000 000 to < 10 000 000 tonnes per annum.
Arcanite is used by consumers, in articles, by professional workers (widespread uses), in formulation or re-packing, at industrial sites and in manufacturing.

Arcanite contains potassium (K) and sulfur (S) – two of the essential nutrients that plants require to achieve optimum growth and reach their maximum potential. 

Potassium fertilizer is commonly added to improve the yield and quality of plants growing in soils that are lacking an adequate supply of this essential nutrient. 
Most fertilizer K comes from ancient salt deposits located throughout the world. 
The word “potash” is a general term that most frequently refers to potassium chloride (KCl), but Arcanite also applies to all other K-containing fertilizers, such as Arcanite (Arcanite, commonly referred to as sulfate of potash, or SOP).

Arcanite can be used as a dietary ingredient and as a nutrient. 
Potassium works with sodium to normalize heart rhythms and to regulate the body’s waste balance. 
Arcanite also preserves proper alkalinity of body fluids and assists in reducing high blood pressure. 

Arcanite is a moderately water and acid soluble Potassium source for uses compatible with sulfates. 
Sulfate compounds are salts or esters of sulfuric acid formed by replacing one or both of the hydrogens with a metal. 

Most metal sulfate compounds are readily soluble in water for uses such as water treatment, unlike fluorides and oxides which tend to be insoluble. 
Organometallic forms are soluble in organic solutions and sometimes in both aqueous and organic solutions. 

Metallic ions can also be dispersed utilizing suspended or coated nanoparticles and deposited utilizing sputtering targets and evaporation materials for uses such as solar cells and fuel cells. 
Arcanite is generally immediately available in most volumes. 
High purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered.

Arcanite is an important nutrient for plants.
Arcanite fertilizer also contains 18% sulfur in sulfate form.

Sulfur is an important nutrient, just like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and is found in the structure of proteins in plants.
Arcanite has benefits against plants.

Potassium deficiency is mostly seen in irrigated agriculture and rainy regions.
Arcanite fertilizer should be given to sandy soils that are poor in organic matter.

Arcanite is mostly used in potatoes, tobacco, vegetables, fruits, citrus fruits, legumes, corn, cotton, sugar beet and greenhouses.
If Arcanite is not given in sufficient amount, yellow or reddish brown spots can be seen on the parts of the green leaves of the plants.

Potassium balances the acid-sugar ratio in the fruit, affects the coloring, increases the taste and odor, and minimizes the fruit drop problem.
Arcanite provides increased endurance against frost and cold.

Applications of Arcanite:
Arcanite is used in gypsum cements, to make alum and glass, as a food additive, in fertilizers, as an accelerator in wallboard, as an expansion control agent for dental materials, as a medical and veterinary cathartic, and as a veterinary sulfate source.

Agricultural Use:
Potassium is needed to complete many essential functions in plants, such as activating enzyme reactions, synthesizing proteins, forming starch and sugars, and regulating water flow in cells and leaves. 
Often, concentrations of K in soil are too low to support healthy plant growth.

Arcanite is an excellent source of K nutrition for plants. 
The K portion of the Arcanite is no different from other common potash fertilizers. 

However, Arcanite also supplies a valuable source of S, which protein synthesis and enzyme function require. 
Like K, S can also be too deficient for adequate plant growth. 

Further, Cl- additions should be avoided in certain soils and crops. 
In such cases, Arcanite makes a very suitable K source.

Arcanite is only one-third as soluble as KCl, so Arcanite’s not as commonly dissolved for addition through irrigation water unless there’s a need for additional S.

Several particle sizes are commonly available. 
Manufacturers produce fine particles (smaller than 0.015 mm) to make solutions for irrigation or foliar sprays, since they dissolve more rapidly.  
And growers find foliar spraying of Arcanite a convenient way to apply additional K and S to plants, supplementing the nutrients taken up from the soil.  

However, leaf damage can occur if the concentration is too high.

Management Practices:
Growers frequently use Arcanite for crops where additional Cl — from more common KCl fertilizer — is undesirable. 
The partial salt index of Arcanite is lower than in some other common K fertilizers, so less total salinity is added per unit of K. 

The salt measurement (EC) from a Arcanite solution is less than a third of a similar concentration of a KCl solution (10 millimoles per liter). 
Where high rates of Arcanite are needed, agronomists generally recommend applying Arcanite in multiple doses. 
This helps avoid surplus K accumulation by the plant and also minimizes any potential salt damage.

Industrial Processes with risk of exposure:
Cement Producing
Glass Manufacturing

Usage Areas of Arcanite:
Arcanite helps the plant to withstand drought, cold, heat, and disease and pests. 
Arcanite enables plants to use water economically.

Arcanite is used in potatoes, tobacco, vegetables and fruits and improves their quality.
Arcanite is beneficial to use Arcanite in oily plants such as olive, sunflower, canola, peanut and soybean.

In addition, by increasing the quality of straw in cereals, Arcanite prevents crop lying, which causes yield losses.
Arcanite can be used in all kinds of agricultural production.

Benefits of Arcanite:
Arcanite is the most common potash fertilizer, serving as an excellent source of potassium and chloride, Arcanite is not appropriate in all settings. 
As many are discovering, SOP not only improves yield and crop quality, but Arcanite also presents a number of advantages:

Reduced Chlorides:
Chloride makes up a significant component of MOP. 
While this is preferable for some crops, Arcanite can be damaging to others that are sensitive to chlorides, such as some fruits, vegetables, and nuts. 
Many chloride-sensitive crops fall into the high-value category, so optimizing quality and yield are especially critical.

Additionally, if MOP is added to soils already rich in chlorides, toxicity can occur. 
When working with chloride-sensitive crops or chloride-rich soils, SOP provides an optimal solution, as Arcanite is substantially lower in chlorides.

Added Sulfur:
In addition to potassium, Arcanite also provides plant-available sulfur. 
Sulfur deficiencies have become increasingly common in recent years, making products that include the secondary nutrient increasingly desirable.

Lower Salinity:
Arcanite has a lower salt index than most potash fertilizers, making Arcanite the preferred choice when soil salinity is a concern.

Action Mechanism of Arcanite:
Potassium is the major cation (positive ion) inside animal cells, while sodium is the major cation outside animal cells. 
The concentration differences of these charged particles causes a difference in electric potential between the inside and outside of cells, known as the membrane potential. 

The balance between potassium and sodium is maintained by ion pumps in the cell membrane. 
The cell membrane potential created by potassium and sodium ions allows the cell generate an action potential—a "spike" of electrical discharge. 

The ability of cells to produce electrical discharge is critical for body functions such as neurotransmission, muscle contraction, and heart function. 
Potassium is also an essential mineral needed to regulate water balance, blood pressure and levels of acidity.

Structure and Properties of Arcanite:
Two crystalline forms are known. 
Orthorhombic β-K2SO4 is the common form, but Arcanite converts to α-K2SO4 above 583 °C.
These structures are complex, although the sulfate adopts the typical tetrahedral geometry.

Arcanite does not form a hydrate, unlike sodium sulfate. 
The salt crystallizes as double six-sided pyramids, classified as rhombic. 

They are transparent, very hard and have a bitter, salty taste. 
The salt is soluble in water, but insoluble in solutions of potassium hydroxide, or in absolute ethanol.

Production of Arcanite:
Approximately 1.5 million tons were produced in 1985, typically by the reaction of potassium chloride with sulfuric acid, analogous to the Mannheim process for producing sodium sulfate.

The process involves intermediate formation of potassium bisulfate, an exothermic reaction that occurs at room temperature:
KCl + H2SO4 → HCl + KHSO4

The second step of the process is endothermic, requiring energy input:
KCl + KHSO4 → HCl + K2SO4

Potassium is a relatively abundant element in the Earth’s crust, and production of potash fertilizer occurs in every inhabited continent. 
However, Arcanite is rarely found in a pure form in nature. 
Instead Arcanite is naturally mixed with salts containing magnesium, sodium and chloride (Mg, Na and Cl, respectively). 

These minerals require additional processing to separate their components. 
Historically, Arcanite was made by reacting KCl with sulfuric acid. 

However, researchers later discovered that they could manipulate a number of earth minerals to produce Arcanite, now the most common method of production. 
For example, natural K-containing minerals (such as kainite and schoenite) are mined and carefully rinsed with water and salt solutions to remove byproducts and produce Arcanite. 
The mining industry uses a similar process to harvest Arcanite from the Great Salt Lake in Utah and from underground mineral deposits.

In New Mexico, Arcanite is separated from langbeinite minerals by reacting Arcanite with a solution of KCl, which removes the byproducts (such as Mg) and leaves Arcanite. 
Similar processing techniques are used in many parts of the world, depending on the raw materials accessible.

The steps followed to obtain Arcanite are as follows:
Crushing the mineral langbeinite
Washing it
Extracting the mineral
Separating

Arcanite is then treated with an aqueous solution of potassium chloride to separate the 2 parts of the double salt from each other.

Arcanite compound can also be produced synthetically. 
This is possible by treating potassium chloride with raw sulfuric acid.

Manufacturing Methods of Arcanite:
Reaction of potassium chloride with langbeinite ore, schoenite obtained from kainite ore, or sodium sulfate (glaserite is an isolated intermediate); reaction of potassium chloride with sulfuric acid or sulfur dioxide, water and oxygen; recovery from sugar wastes

By treatment of potassium chloride either with sulfuric acid or with sulfur dioxide, air, & water (hargreaves process). 
By fractional crystallization of natural sulfate ore; from salt lake brines.

The potassium salt of sulfuric acid.
First potash salt produced commercially in us from anything other than wood ashes. 

Arcanite was produced from alunite. 
Sulfate has also been made from cement mill dust, langbeinite, & from muriate by treatment with sodium or magnesium sulfate or with sulfuric acid.

Natural Resources of Arcanite:
The mineral form of Arcanite, arcanite, is relatively rare. 
Natural resources of Arcanite are minerals abundant in the Stassfurt salt. 
These are cocrystallizations of Arcanite and sulfates of magnesium, calcium, and sodium.

Relevant minerals are:
Kainite, KMg(SO4)·Cl·3H2O
Schönite (now known as picromerite), K2SO4·MgSO4·6H2O
Leonite, K2SO4·MgSO4·4H2O
Langbeinite, K2Mg2(SO4)3
Aphthitalite (previously known as glaserite), K3Na(SO4)2
Polyhalite, K2SO4·MgSO4·2CaSO4·2H2O

The Arcanite can be separated from some of these minerals, like kainite, because the corresponding salt is less soluble in water.
Kieserite, MgSO4·H2O, can be combined with a solution of potassium chloride to produce Arcanite.

History of Arcanite:
Arcanite has been known since early in the 14th century. 
Arcanite was studied by Glauber, Boyle, and Tachenius. 

In the 17th century, Arcanite was named arcanuni or sal duplicatum, as Arcanite was a combination of an acid salt with an alkaline salt. 
Arcanite was also known as vitriolic tartar and Glaser's salt or sal polychrestum Glaseri after the pharmaceutical chemist Christopher Glaser who prepared Arcanite and used medicinally.

Known as arcanum duplicatum ("double secret") or panacea duplicata in pre-modern medicine, Arcanite was prepared from the residue (caput mortuum) left over from the production of aqua fortis (nitric acid, HNO3) from nitre (potassium nitrate, KNO3) and oil of vitriol (sulphuric acid, H2SO4) via Glauber's process:
2 KNO3 + H2SO4 → 2 HNO3 + K2SO4

The residue was dissolved in hot water, filtered, and evaporated to a cuticle. 
Arcanite was then left to crystallise. 
Arcanite was used as a diuretic and sudorific.

According to Chambers's Cyclopedia, the recipe was purchased for five hundred thalers by Charles Frederick, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp. 
Schroder, the duke's physician, wrote wonders of Arcanite great uses in hypochondriacal cases, continued and intermitting fevers, stone, scurvy, and more.

Reactions of Arcanite:

Acidification:
Potassium hydrogen sulfate (also known as potassium bisulfate), KHSO4, is readily produced by reacting K2SO4 with sulfuric acid. 
Arcanite forms rhombic pyramids, which melt at 197 °C (387 °F). 

Arcanite dissolves in three parts of water at 0 °C (32 °F). 
The solution behaves much as if Arcanite two congeners, K2SO4 and H2SO4, were present side by side of each other uncombined; an excess of ethanol the precipitates normal sulfate (with little bisulfate) with excess acid remaining.

The behavior of the fused dry salt is similar when heated to several hundred degrees; Arcanite acts on silicates, titanates, etc., the same way as sulfuric acid that is heated beyond Arcanite natural boiling point does. 
Hence Arcanite is frequently used in analytical chemistry as a disintegrating agent.
