Potash fertilizer is any salt containing potassium in a water-soluble form. Common sources of potash include sylvite, carnallite, and sylvanite minerals. There are two main processes to produce potash fertilizer - fractional crystallization and flotation. Fractional crystallization uses unit operations to produce a highly pure potassium chloride, while flotation uses hydrometallurgical processes to produce a lower purity product at a lower cost. Potash fertilizer has advantages like increased crop yields and profits but also disadvantages as potassium chloride can harm seeds and young plants.
