    Potassium nitrate can be produced through different production processes using various nitrate-nitrogen sources. SQM's process in Chile uses sodium nitrate while Haifa uses nitric acid. Migao's alternative method uses ammonium nitrate as the nitrate-nitrogen source combined with potassium chloride as the potassium source to produce potassium nitrate. The different chemical formulae of these production processes are illustrated in Figure 1.

    Production processes
    Potassium nitrate is produced from potassium chloride as the potassium source and a nitrate-nitrogen source. In the
    case of SQMs production processes in Chile, the nitrate-nitrogen source is sodium nitrate, whereas Haifa uses nitric
    acid for this purpose. Migao's alternative production process is based on ammonium nitrate as the nitrate-nitrogen
    source (Figure 1).
