Potassium Carbonate 99.0% 98.5%

Property:Potassium Carbonate may be monoclinic crystal, white powder, granularcrystal or prill. The relative density is 2.428 and the melting point is at891 degree C .It is easily soluble in water forming a slightly alkalinesolution. It is insoluble in alcohol and ether. It has strong hygroscopicity.It easily cakes and turns into Potassium Bicarbonate through absorbing carbondioxide when exposed to the air for a long time.CAS RN:584-08-7Specification: Industrial Grade ( GB/T 1587-2000 )INSPECT IONITEMUNITFINE GRADETV GLASSGRADEFIRST GRADEREGULARGRADEPurity(as K2CO3)% Min99.099.098.596.0Chloride(asKCl)% Max0.010.030.100.20Sulphate(asK2SO4)% Max0.010.040.100.15Iron% Max0.0010.0010.0030.010nsolublematter in water% Max0.020.040.050.10Burnt loss% Max0.60.81.001.00Specification: Food Grade (HG2452-93)NSPECT IONITEMUNITSTANDARDPurity(as K2CO3)% Min99.0Chloride(asKCl )% Max0.01Sulphate (asK2SO4)% Max0.01Iron% Max0.001Insolublematter in water% Max0.02Burnt loss% Max0.6Arsenic% Max0.0003HeavyMetal(as Pb)% Max0.002Packing:Plastic woven bag or kraft paper bag inner with plastic bag, in 25/50/500/800/900/1000KG net .Handling and Storage:Store in dry and ventilated house away from moisture.

It is applied in optical glassimproving clarity, strength and refractive index. It is also applied inelectrode avoiding electric arc breaking-off during welding. It is used toproduce food additives like potassium sorbate, monopotassium phosphate, etc.Potassium Carbonate is foliar spray fertilizer and a constituent of compoundfertilizer. In dyeing industry, it is used to produce vat dyestuff anddischarge of ice dyeing. It is absorbent removing hydrogen sulfide and carbondioxide; dry powder extinguisher mixed with soda; auxiliary raw material forproducing alcohol and acetone; and anti-aging agent in rubber production. Itssolution is used in boiling and scouring of cotton cloth and wool'sdegreasing. In addition, it is also used in manufacture of printing ink,photograph-drug, polyester, explosives, electroplating, tanning, ceramic,building materials, crystals and medicine.
