Product Description

Product Introduction

 

Potassium carbonate is an inorganic compound appearing as white, odorless crystals or powder. It has a strong alkaline taste and shows high solubility in water. Its aqueous solution is alkaline, reacting with acids to release carbon dioxide. Mainly produced via industrial synthesis (e.g., reacting potassium - related feedstocks with carbon dioxide), it plays a key role across multiple sectors, leveraging its chemical properties for diverse applications.

Product Application

• Agriculture: Acts as a potassium fertilizer, boosting crop disease/pest resistance and tolerance to drought/cold. Enhances fruit/vegetable quality (size, color, sugar content) and is blended into compound fertilizers for balanced nutrition.
• Glass Industry: Reduces melting point of raw materials (silica, soda ash), cutting energy use. Improves glass strength/chemical stability for windows, bottles, optical glass.
• Food Industry: Used as a leavening agent (reacts with acids to release CO2, making baked goods fluffy) and pH regulator (enhances texture/flavor in soy products, etc.).
• Chemical Industry: Serves as a raw material for potassium - based chemicals (permanganate, hydroxide, salts). Acts as a base/reactant in synthesis processes.
• Textile/Dye: Adjusts dye bath pH for uniform coloring, and improves fabric softness/fastness in textile processing.
