The preparation method of potassium acetate usually involves the reaction between glacial acetic acid and potassium hydroxide. The specific preparation process includes mixing potassium bicarbonate with water, and then slowly adding glacial acetic acid under heating and stirring conditions. During the reaction process, a large amount of carbon dioxide gas will be produced. After the reaction is completed, potassium acetate crystals are finally obtained through steps such as boiling, filtration, evaporation, cooling, and drying.
