Chemistry

Only Sodium chloride is used for our cooking devu......NaCl.
There are different types of salts available.
My father is doing fireworks business. Potassium Chloride is used for that purpose.(KCl). It's mixed with other chemicals and grinded to get mixtures of different colours and types. I don't know the purpose of other salts. Let me think, if any salts are used in fireworks industry.
Potassium Chloride is also white in colour and appears like our cooking salt, but its crystals are little large comparing to normal salt

Please check below link for knowing more about the salt:
