Potassium Carbonate CAS:584-08-7 Manufacturer Supplier
Potassium carbonate can serve as an effective alkaline agent and dough conditioner and is capable of hindering the fermentation process in noodles. It can be applied to pasta food, where its application quantity must be in accordance with production requirements. In addition, potassium carbonate can be used for the production of optical glass, as it enhances the transparency, strength, and refractive coefficient of the material. It is also useful as a welding electrode, preventing arc-breaking during welding. Further applications of potassium carbonate include its utility as a vat dye and as a white discharging agent for ice dyeing. It can be utilized as an absorbent for removing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, and quantities can be mixed with soda ash to create a dry powder extinguishing agent.Potassium carbonate is used in the chemical industry as a source of inorganic potassium salts (potassium silicates, potassium bicarbonate), which are used in fertilizers, soaps, adhesives, dehydrating agents, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Potassium carbonate used to make potassium lye produces soft soaps, which are liquids or semisolids rather than solids. Other uses of potassium carbonate includes use as a fire suppressant in extinguishers, as a CO2 absorbent for chemical processes and pollution control, an antioxidant in rubber additives, and in pharmaceutical formulations.
