Potassium silicate (K2SiO3) is a compound composed of potassium and silicates. It is a white or grayish-white powder with high moisture absorption and viscosity. Potassium silicate can be obtained by reacting potassium hydroxide with silica. Firstly, dissolve potassium hydroxide in water to obtain a potassium hydroxide solution, suspend silica in water to obtain a silica suspension, then slowly add the potassium hydroxide solution to the silica suspension and stir filter the residue and wash with distilled water, and then dry to obtain potassium silicate.
