Abstract
Abstract The alkaline earth metal potassium acetate according to the invention comprises 14 to 19 % by weight of calcium (Ca++), 0 to 1% by weight of magnesium (Mg++), 11 to 16 % by weight of potassium (K+), 62 to 71% by weight of acetate (CH3COO-), 0 to 7 % by weight of water and 0 to 2 % by weight of water-insoluble components For its preparation, a calcium oxide containing at least 85% of CaO, acetic acid and potassium hydroxide solution are reacted with one another and the reaction product is granulated to give particles of 0.5 to 5 mm. The alkaline earth metal potassium acetate according to the invention can be used as an environment-friendly deicing agent causing little corrosion.
