Potassium Analysis

Potassium Analysis

Potassium is found naturally in the environment and, indeed, is an essential nutrient in our diet because it helps our heart and muscle health. Potassium is actually the third most abundant element in the body (after calcium and magnesium). However, a diet that is too high in potassium can cause kidney problems because they cannot process the excess potassium.

Potassium is found in igneous rocks, shale, and sediment in other minerals. When it is refined, it is used in the manufacture of a variety of products such as dry solvents, inks, dyes, soap, and glass. Potassium also has applications in gold mining.

It is also used in the supply of oxygen, as well as the absorption of carbon dioxide and water in breathing apparatus used in fire fighting equipment, submarines, spacecraft and mine rescue work.
