Product Description

 

CAS NO 584-08-7 Potassium carbonate K2CO3 historically used for soap, glass, and ceramic production

 

►Description 

 

      Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is a white salt, soluble in water (insoluble in

 

ethanol) which forms a strongly alkaline solution. It can be made as the product of

 

potassium hydroxide's absorbent reaction with carbon dioxide. It is deliquescent,

 

often appearing a damp or wet solid. Potassium carbonate is used in the production

 

of soap and glass.

 

►Origin

      Potassium carbonate is the primary component of potash and the more refined

 

pearl ash or salts of tartar. Historically, pearl ash was created by baking potash in a

 

kiln to remove impurities. The fine, white powder remaining was the pearl ash. The

 

first patent issued by the US Patent Office was awarded to Samuel Hopkins in 1790

 

for an improved method of making potash and pearl ash.

 

In late 18th century North America, before the development of baking powder, pearl

 

ash was used as a leavening agent in quick breads.

 

Production

      Today, potassium carbonate is prepared commercially by the electrolysis of

 

potassium chloride. The resulting potassium hydroxide is then carbonated using

 

carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate, which is often used to produce other

 

Potassium compounds.

►Application

 

     

       Potassium carbonate K2CO3 historically is used  for soap, glass, and

 

ceramic production

 

►First Aid 

 

 

 

Inhalation First Aid

 

 Fresh air, rest.

 

Skin First Aid

 

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.

 

Eye First Aid

 

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily

 

possible),then refer for medical attention.

 

Ingestion First Aid

 

Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink.

 

Refer for medical attention .

 

Fire Fighting

 

In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.

Accidental Release Measures

 

Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne

 

concentration of thesubstance. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers.

 

Wash away remainder with plenty of water.

 

Cleanup Methods

 

Accidental release measures. Do not let product enter drains

►Safe Storage 

Dry. Separated from strong acids.

 

Storage Conditions Keep tightly closed.

 

Potassium carbonate is stored in bunkers; the ventilation air must be dry because

 

of the hydroscopicity of the product.

 

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

►Packing 

 

25/50kg/bag
