Definition of potash in English English dictionary

the water-soluble part of the ash formed by burning plant material; used for making soap, glass and as a fertilizer

in the names of compounds of the form "... of potash", potassium (for example, "permanganate of potash" = potassium permanganate)

an impure form of potassium carbonate (K2CO3) mixed with other potassium salts

Potash is a white powder obtained from the ashes of burnt wood and is sometimes used as a fertilizer. a type of potassium used especially in farming to make the soil better (pot + ash; because it was made by putting ash in water and letting it dry out in pots). Name used for various inorganic compounds of potassium, chiefly the carbonate (K2CO3), a white crystalline material formerly obtained from wood ashes. They are used to make special types of glass, potassium silicate (a dehydrating agent), pigments, printing inks, and soft soaps; for washing raw wool; and as a lab reagent and general-purpose food additive. Potassium hydroxide is frequently called caustic potash, and in the fertilizer industry, potassium oxide is called potash

{n} a fixed alkali obtained from the ashes of plants

Any of several potassium salts, such as potassium chloride, mined and processed for use in agriculture and industry

Any of several substances made from wood ashes and used in soap, fertilizers, etc

Potassium carbonate, an option for the alkali ingredient in glass, alternative to soda Glass made with potash becomes rigid more quickly and becomes harder and more brilliant than soda glass Used in the making of lead glass

a product made from ashes that was used to make soap

Potassium carbonate It is an alternative to soda as a source of alkali in the manufacture of glass

in the names of compounds of the form "... of potash", potassium (for example, "permanganate of potash" = potassium permanganate)"

an impure form of potassium carbonate (K{2}CO{3}) mixed with other potassium salts

{i} (Chemistry) potassium compound obtained from wood ashes (used in fertilizers, soaps, etc.)

a mineral used in fertilizer; a nonrenewable resource essential for agriculture

Potassium carbonate It is an alternative to soda as a source of alkali in the manufacture of glass Potash glass is slightly more dense than soda glass; it passes from the molten to the rigid state more quickly, and it is therefore more difficult to manipulate into elaborate forms However, it is harder and more brilliant, and lends itself to decorative techniques of facet cutting and wheel engraving

The hydroxide of potassium hydrate, a hard white brittle substance, KOH, having strong caustic and alkaline properties; hence called also caustic potash

Usually made from wood ashes One of the three main minerals in fertilizer A term used to denote potassium

The impure potassium carbonate obtained by leaching wood ashes, either as a strong solution (lye), or as a white crystalline (pearlash)

any of the potassium salts, such as potassium chloride, mined and used as fertilizers; also refers to substances such as sodium carbonates produced from wood ashes and used as soaps and dyes; potassium oxide; potassium hydroxide

Broadly, potash describes any material containing potassium More specifically, though, potash is potassium carbonate derived from wood ashes The term potash comes from the process of extracting lye from wood ashes in iron pots

a potassium compound often used in agriculture and industry
