Potassium hydroxide is a chemical compound that is used in wastewater treatment. It reacts with the organic matter in the water to form potassium carbonate and water vapor. The reaction mechanism of potassium hydroxide was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and the surface methodology. Potassium hydroxide has been shown to be effective against infectious diseases such as cholera, malaria, and typhoid fever because it can neutralize acids produced by these bacteria. The linear calibration curve for potassium hydroxide was found to have high resistance, making it an excellent analytical method for measuring this substance.

Potassium hydroxide acts as the precursor for most of the soft and liquid soaps, and for numerous potassium-containing chemicals. It is widely used in the manufacture of detergents, fertilizer, rayon, paper, dyestuffs, various drugs, drug intermediates, fine chemicals, and petroleum products. In the field of organic chemistry, potassium hydroxide acts as a base, and is used in the synthesis of several organic compounds. Further it finds application as an electrolyte in alkaline batteries, which are based on nickel-cadmium, nickel-hydrogen and manganese dioxide-zinc.
