Best Answer

It is used in industrial cleaning of food and beverage equipment, bottle washing equipment etc. It prevents precipitation of calcium and magnesium ions from hard water and thus prevents scaling in equipment. It is a good chelating agent and is also used in certain medicinal preparations. In the cement and concrete industries it is used as a retarder.

What is the difference between plain potassium pills and potassium gluconate pills?

In practicality, none. It is fairly simple chemistry. Potassim (K) typically does not just exist naturally as itself. It is usually is bonded with some other elements or substance. In the case of Potassium Pills, it is bonded with chloride and you get KCl. Potassium Gluconate just uses a a gluconate molecule instead of a Cl to bind it to. You may compare this to Na Cl or Sodium Chloride (Table Salt). You never eat sodium alone, it is always in combination with Chloride. The reason in short is that when Potassium is combined with another chemical it becomes charged positive (K+) and this is useful for your body. Any supplement you buy that contains Potassium, whether it be Potassium Gluconate or Potassium Chloride, are most often the same.
