How do you refine or purify the potassium hydroxide (KOH)?
Hobbyists can get Potassium hydroxide (KOH) from the white paste in alkaline batteries. It can be bought online, but it's free when taken from used alkaline batteries.
How do you refine or purify it?
How do you then test for purity?
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_hydroxide
Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is used in soap, as a chemical tool in chemical processes and industrial chemical manufacturing. KOH is also used as a precursor, ingredient, or aggregate for use in compound synthesis. KOH is helpful in expediting thermal reactions. KOH is stable at high temperatures.
KOH is a crucial chemical tool for the chemical hobbyist & higher education students of chemistry. This chemical has to be treated with caution and should NOT be exposed to skin.
If used as described above, various exothermic reactions will CERTAINLY occur and are usually accompanied by release of toxic gases that can severely hurt most organisms. Highly concentrated ammonia gas is one example.
EMPLOY near flume or outdoors.
AVOID open flames.

Ok this question has been up here for awhile. The thing is he seems to ask a question, and then proceed to answer it completely.
Since it was his first action on Mahalo Answers I am guessing he was confused about the way it worked.
Anyway I am answering it because I think it should be closed.
