manufactured salts that contain
potassium in water-soluble form.
Potash fertilizer

Raw material
 Sylvite(100)% KCL
 Carnalite(KCL.Mgcl2.6H2O)
 Sylvanite(KCL . Nacl)
Two process
Fractional crystallization process.
Forth flotation process.
Fractinal distilation
 Higrade grade (KCL) produce(90-99)%.
 Sylvinite ore use.
 Use unit operation process.
 Produce more pure.
 More expensive.
Forth floatation process
 Produce standard grade.(60)%
 Sylvite ore use.
 Use hydrometholurgical.
 Produce less pure.
 Less expensive.
Advantage
