Potash is the general name given to various inorganic compounds that contain potassium in a water-soluble form. A number of common potassium compounds exist, including potassium carbonate and potassium chloride. Before the industrial era, potash was obtained by leaching wood ashes in a pot (hence the name âpot-ashâ).
Uses: Potash is in high demand as a fertilizer. Potassium, found in most soils, is an element that is essential for plant growth. An alloy of potassium and sodium is used as a heat transfer medium. Potassium salts have many commercial uses. Sources: Potassium is the 7th most abundant element on earth, making up 2.4% of the earth's crust, by weight. 1  Potassium is not found free in nature. 2  In addition to other locations, potash is mined in Germany, Utah, California, and New Mexico.
