- Potassium thiosulfate (KTS) is primarily used as a fertilizer, specifically to supply both potassium and sulfur to crops.
- KTS can help reduce the release of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas, by delaying the conversion of nitrogen in the soil to nitrate
- It can also reduce the amount of fumigants being released from the soil, which can be beneficial in certain agricultural practices
- KTS can be applied through various irrigation methods, making it versatile for different farming systems.
- It can also be used as a starter fertilizer or applied as a sidedress application to established crops.
- Potassium thiosulfate is used as a fixing agent in photography, where it dissolves the remaining silver halide that is not exposed to light in the film
- It’s used in metal cleaning processes, particularly for silver plating.
- KTS is used in the textile industry, including bleaching cotton fabric and as a printing-dyeing auxiliary agent.
- KTS can be used in the preparation of aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) for organic compound extraction, in the synthesis of polyacrylonitrile nanoparticles, and as a reagent for synthesizing graphene oxide.
