DESCRIPTION:
99% PURITY INDUSTRY GRADE POTASSIUM CARBONATE
K2CO3 WHITE SOLID POWDER FOR PAPER MAKING
is a white salt, soluble in water which forms a strongly
alkaline solution
THEY ARE prepared by the electrolysis of potassium chloride The resulting potassium hydroxide is then carbonated using carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate as follows:
contents | Item | contents |

Water insoluble | ≤0.005% | |
Burnt Loss | ≤0.6% |
THEIR APPLICANTS ARE MINLY FOR PAPER MAKING
Certainly as a mild drying agent where other drying agents, such as calcium chloride and magnesium sulfate, may be incompatible. It is not suitable for acidic compounds, but can be useful for drying an organic phase if one has a small amount of acidic impurity. It may also be used to dry some ketones, alcohols, and amines prior to distillation.
