PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is a white salt, soluble in water (insoluble in alcohol), which forms a strongly alkaline solution. Potassium Carbonate is a white, deliquesent inorganic compound and its Melting Point 891?C and specific gravity of 2.428 at 19?C. It is soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. Potassium carbonate is available in Granules and powder form.
Application: TV Picture tubes, GLS lamps and ophthalmic glass, Fertilizer Industry, Rubber Chemicals, Pesticide Industry, Drugs and Pharmaceutical Industry, Dyes industries and other Potassium based chemicals. It is also used in the manufacture of soft soaps, inorganic salts, and in dyeing and wool finishing.
Potassium Carbonate can be made from caustic potash lye from membrane cell technology with mercury free quality. 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.
The chemical industry is a highly versatile segment in the overall industrial economy of India. It is one of the oldest domestic industries in India, contributing significantly to both the industrial and economic growth. The Indian total installed capacity for potassium carbonate is around 18300 tonnes per annum and the Indian demand for potassium carbonate is around 25,000 tonnes per annum. The demand gap is fulfilled by imports. The gap in supply would increase in the coming year if additional capacity would not be built in the country. Coming to Global market, the total production is around 350,000 tonnes per year.
With India being an emerging economy with high growth rates and a strong domestic demand the chemical industry in India will be one of the most booming industries in the coming years. Considering the nature of the applications of the product, the demand for Potassium carbonate is likely to go up in tune with the economic and industrial growth of the country.
