氢氧化钾可从电解高纯度的氯化钾水溶液制得。所用的电解槽形式以及生产过程类似氢氧化钠。使用隔膜电解槽时，所得的电解液含有10％～15％(质量)的氢氧化钾和约10％（质量）的氯化钾。经蒸发、浓缩、冷却，大部分的氯化钾结晶析出，分离后得到含氢氧化钾45％～50％的产品(含氯化钾0.6％)。采用水银电解法可以制得高纯度的氢氧化钾，但应控制氯化钾水溶液中重金属杂质的含量在0.1ppm以下，以免氯气中含氢过高。采用离子膜电解法须使用专用的离子交换膜。氢氧化钾比氢氧化钠难于脱水。工业固体氢氧化钾的纯度为88％～92％，固体有块状和片状两种。液体氢氧化钾有45％和50％两种浓度规格。
Potassium hydroxide can be obtained by electrolysis of high purity aqueous potassium chloride solution. The type of electrolyzer used and the production process are similar to sodium hydroxide. When the diaphragm electrolyzer is used, the obtained electrolyte contains 10% – 15% (mass) potassium hydroxide and about 10% (mass) potassium chloride. After evaporation, concentration and cooling, most of the potassium chloride crystallizes and precipitates. After separation, the product containing 45% – 50% potassium hydroxide (containing 0.6% potassium chloride) is obtained. High purity potassium hydroxide can be produced by mercury electrolysis, but the content of heavy metal impurities in the aqueous solution of potassium chloride should be controlled below 0.1ppm to avoid high hydrogen content in chlorine gas. Special ion exchange membrane must be used for the ion-exchange membrane electrolysis. Potassium hydroxide is more difficult to dehydrate than sodium hydroxide. The purity of industrial solid potassium hydroxide is 88% – 92%. There are two kinds of solid: block and sheet. Liquid potassium hydroxide has two concentration specifications of 45% and 50%.
