Potassium Carbonate Market Share, Size, Demand and Growth Forecast 2018 to 2025
Potassium carbonate is a white salt or colorless solid crystals and has a salty taste with structural formula K2CO3 used in day to day life in the form of glass and soap. It is a key component of the mined salt potash, so known as potash or pearl ash. It dissolves to form a powerful alkaline solution, but is insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, and ether. It is used as a drying agent or as a source of potassium in pharmaceutical laboratories. Also, used to make soap, glass, and to soften water. Likewise, when there is low level of potassium in the blood then potassium carbonate can be supplied to aerated tablets that suitably provide potassium to the patient. Because it has a strong hydroscopic effect and can absorb carbon dioxide and water upon contact to air to be transformed to potassium bicarbonate.
