Other common forms are Sulfate of Potash, Potassium Nitrate and Sulfate of Potash Magnesium. Potash also is found in animal feed supplements, and it can be used in industrial applications as part of manufacturing processes. More recently, potash is used to improve the yield and quality of crops that comprise ethanol and other crop-based biofuels.
Potassium carbonate, which was gathered from wood ash, was concentrated through boiling and then used for industrial purposes, such as soap making. The wood ash origin of the potassium carbonate lent the name potash to the compound (and eventually to the element). Potassium was first isolated by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1807. He used electrolysis with a dry potash compound to identify the element. He would later use this same process to isolate sodium, which was previously undistinguished from potassium.
