Extracting potasium nitrate from fertilizer?

Featured Replies

i got some realy cheap fertilizer today and i want to extract the potassium nitrate from it. the numbers are 15-15-30. 15% nitrogen, 15%Phosphoric Acid, 30%Soluable Potash and a little others. It is a soluable fertilizer. I herd that there are a few different ways to extract it, i was wondering how i could do it without spending a week of time for 500g of potassium nitrate. Does freezing it in water work?:confused: (a rumour) thanks.

Usually you can just buy KNO3 on its own as a fertilizer. Small bags are often sold as tree stump remover.
