It is possible that this water is formed, at least partially, by deliquescence of salts, a process during which hygroscopic salts absorb water vapor from the atmosphere and form a saturated liquid brine. ... Potassium compounds such as KCl, K2SO4, and KNO3 are salts resulting from biomass burning.

thus k2so4 is a deliquescent salt
