K2CO3

Description

Potassium Carbonate is a common inorganic compound, its chemical formula is K2CO3, white crystal, soluble in water, and alkaline. The melting point of potassium carbonate is 891°C, which means that at high temperatures, potassium carbonate can melt into a liquid state.

Potassium Carbonate is widely active in glass, ceramics, fertilizers, detergents, dyes, medicines, and other fields. In these applications, the melting point of Potassium Carbonate is an important parameter. As K2CO3 melting point determines the temperature conditions during the production and processing of potassium carbonate.

Potassium Carbonate is also an important raw material in ceramic manufacture. The manufacture of ceramics requires high-temperature conditions, and the melting point of Potassium Carbonate can provide such conditions. In the ceramic manufacturing process, using Potassium Carbonate is a part of ceramic glaze, and can play a key role in flux for ceramics to increase the density and hardness of ceramics.

Potassium Carbonate is easily soluble in water and must be brought into the frit before it can be used. It exists as K2O in the frit. Adding potassium carbonate can reduce the melting temperature of the frit and increase the expansion coefficient of the frit. In addition, Potassium Carbonate can increase the melting point, making the enamel coating harder and more resistant to abrasion. Adding an appropriate amount of K2CO3 can slow down the penetration of the coating and increase the tightness and durability of the coating.

Thus, K2CO3 is influential in enamel and is an important raw material for the manufacture of high-quality enamel coatings.
