K2O

Production
Potassium oxide is produced from the reaction of oxygen and potassium; this reaction affords potassium peroxide, K2O2. Treatment of the peroxide with potassium produces the oxide : K2O2 + 2 K → 2 K2O

Alternatively and more conveniently, K2O is synthesized by heating potassium nitrate with metallic potassium : 2 KNO3 + 10 K → 6 K2O + N2

Potassium hydroxide cannot be further dehydrated to the oxide.

Potassium Oxide In Fertilizers
The chemical formula K2O is used in the N-P-K (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) numbers on the labels of fertilizers. Although K2O is the correct formula for potassium oxide, potassium oxide is not used as a fertilizer in these products. Normally, potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, or potassium carbonate is used as a fertilizer source for potassium. The percentage of K2O given on the label only represents the amount of potassium in the fertilizer if it was in the form of potassium oxide. Potassium oxide is about 83% potassium by weight, but potassium chloride, for instance, is only 52% potassium by weight. Potassium chloride provides less potassium than an equal amount of potassium oxide. Thus, if a fertilizer is 30% potassium chloride by weight, its standard potassium rating, based on potassium oxide, would be only 19%.

K2O - Potassium Oxide

Potassium oxide is a compound of potassium and oxygen. This pale yellow solid, the simplest oxide of potassium, is a rarely encountered, highly reactive species. Some materials of commerce, such as fertilizers and cements, are assayed assuming the percent composition that would be equivalent to K2O.

China & World Economy

China has really succeeded because of its stability. So my feeling is, how are they going to maintain this fantastic stability in a very fast changing economic situation. I think this is a challenge we face, how the global region will evolve in stability with such a fast growth. If they succeed to do that, no doubt, in the next generation it will be the major area of the world, economically.

Business Life

Its clear that every trades have their own twist and turn everywhere. In this case, we monitor closely our food supply division. Everything seems to be so nice and smooth during the first operating stage. It took about 2 month untill we start to realize that our competitor start to reduce their price and maintaining it for quite a long time (the game is on). To us it was a pain in the ass as where we have to compete and maintaining the price level while the buying price is fluctuating like hell.

At the same time we also realize that we have to shutdown our supply to one of our valuable customer just to ensure that the current financial problem doesn't effect other division that relying from the same account. Lesson learnt that sapparate account is crutial to ensure indipendent operation sustain.

But hey..one down others boosting =))
