Application |
Descriptions:
Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is a white salt, also called Potash and pearl ash.
Potassium carbonate is soluble in water, which forms a strongly alkaline solution.
Potassium carbonate is deliquescent, often appearing a damp or wet solid.
Potassium carbonate is dissolved alkaline, hygroscopicity strong, and easy to caking.
Uses:
Potassium Carbonate is an important foliar spray fertilizer and a constituent of compound fertilizer.
It is used to produce food additives like potassium sorbate, monopotassium phosphate, etc.
It is used as raw materials in manufacturing electro tube, TV kinescope, and computer display.
It is applied in electrode avoiding electric arc breaking-off during welding.
It is applied in optical glass improving clarity, strength and refractive index.
In dyeing industry, it is used to produce vat dyestuff and discharge of ice dyeing.
Its solution is used in boiling and scouring of cotton cloth and wool's degreasing.
