What is potash?

This post was last edited by sunjl1981 on 2013-1-6 at 21:39. I searched on Baidu for information on potassium alkalis and found that it could be potassium bicarbonate, but it was also said to be potassium hydroxide. So what is it exactly? Can someone tell me? ， ， -
Potassium alkali refers to potassium hydroxide, while potassium bicarbonate should be classified as a carbonate.
Potassium hydroxide, I guess; but potassium carbonate also seems to work as a description
Yes, it’s potassium hydroxide; I think that’s the case
What is found on Baidu is definitely not in line with reality. Inorganic potassium salts are, conceptually, compounds formed by the combination of potassium and anion ions, existing in solution in ionic form. In my opinion, in practical industrial applications, \"potassium salt\" is a common term used; for example, potassium hydroxide is widely used in one particular industry, and that’s why it is conventionally referred to as a potassium salt.
It should be potassium hydroxide! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Both potassium hydroxide and potassium carbonate are products belonging to the potassium alkali category
Potassium alkali is a term used within the chlor-alkali industry; it refers to potassium hydroxide produced by electrolysis, and it is merely a conventional name that differs from caustic soda (sodium hydroxide). Its official name is still potassium hydroxide, just as the official name for caustic soda is sodium hydroxide.
Both caustic soda and potassium hydroxide belong to the category of potassium alkalis; it depends on how you interpret it. Our company produces these two types of alkalis, hehehe
The common name for potassium hydroxide is caustic potash; potassium alkali, as mentioned on floor 8, seems to be a term used within the chlor-alkali industry.
Potassium alkali is potassium hydroxide; it can be obtained by electrolytically refining a saturated solution of potassium chloride, which is what is referred to as potassium alkali
