Inhloso enkulu isetshenziswa kakhulu embonini yezinto ezingaphili. Yinto eluhlaza eyisisekelo yokukhiqiza usawoti ohlukahlukene we-potassium noma i-alkalis, njenge-potassium hydroxide, i-potassium sulfate, i-potassium nitrate, i-potassium chlorate, ne-potassium alum. Emkhakheni wemithi, isetshenziswa njenge-diuretic kanye nomuthi wokuvikela nokwelapha ukushoda kwe-potassium. Imboni yodayi isetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza usawoti we-G, udayi osebenzayo, njll. Ezolimo uhlobo lomanyolo we-potash. Umphumela wawo womanyolo uyashesha, futhi ungasetshenziswa ngqo epulazini ukukhulisa umswakama engxenyeni engezansi yenhlabathi futhi kube nomphumela wokumelana nesomiso. Kodwa-ke, ayifanele ukusetshenziswa enhlabathini enosawoti nakugwayi, ubhatata, isithombo sebhitrudi nezinye izilimo. IPotassium chloride inokunambitheka okufana ne-sodium chloride (umunyu), futhi isetshenziswa futhi njengesengezo sosawoti ophansi we-sodium noma amanzi amaminerali. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ibuye isetshenziselwe ukwenza isifonyo noma isifonyo esilawula umlilo, i-ejenti yokwelashwa ngokushisa kwensimbi, kanye nokuthwebula izithombe. Ingasetshenziswa futhi kwezokwelapha, ekusetshenzisweni kwesayensi, ekulungisweni kokudla, nakwenye i-potassium chloride ingafakwa esikhundleni se-sodium chloride kusawoti wethebula ukunciphisa amathuba okuba nomfutho wegazi ophezulu. [6] I-potassium chloride iyisilawuli esivame ukusetshenziswa se-electrolyte balance emithini yokwelapha. Inomphumela oqondile womtholampilo futhi isetshenziswa kabanzi eminyangweni ehlukahlukene yemitholampilo.
