	AmericanHeritage.com / THE FIRST U S. PATENT
		Potash was a leading industrial alkali from antiquity until the close of the nineteenth century, when it was finally abandoned for most uses in favor of soda (sodium carbonate).
		By the post-Revolutionary period potash manufacture had become a standard part of New England farming, and it was a critical source of cash to pay taxes and buy necessities in the depression years that followed the war.
		The forest-based potash industry is now long gone, but it was essential in the early years of the nation, and Samuel Hopkins’s patent permitted it to thrive.

	Potash
		Potash is a term that is applied to a group of water soluble potassium-containing minerals.
		Potash is considered a source for one of the three primary plant nutrients, soluble potassium.
		Potash is processed from potassium-bearing ores such as sylvanite, a mixture of sylvite (potash) and common salt.

	IndustryPlayer - License Info Potash (COSMETICS & HYGIENE)
		Potash is used primarily as an agricultural fertilizer (plant nutrient) because it is a source of soluble potassium, one of the three primary plant nutrients; the others are fixed nitrogen and soluble phosphorus.
		Potash for fertiliser is mainly derived from potash rock, requiring only separation from the salt and other minerals and physical grading into a form suitable for fertiliser manufacture or farm spreading.
		Potash production provided late 18th and early 19th century settlers in North America a way to obtain badly needed cash and credit while they were in the process of clearing their wooded land for crops.

	Potash Summary (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Potash, like soda ash, was produced by running water slowly through the ashes of burned plants and then boiling down the resulting solution in large pots--hence the term, from pots and ash.
		Potash production provided late 18th and early 19th century settlers in North America a way to obtain badly needed cash and credit while they were in the process of clearing their wooded land for crops.
		If desired, the potash could be further refined by baking in a kiln to produce a less impure form of potassium carbonate, known as pearlash for its pearly white color.

	Mining Technology - potash mine - Boulby - England
		Boulby potash occurs at depths between 1,200 and 1,500m in a seam ranging from 0—20m but averaging 7m in thickness.
		Although the basic concept of roadway development in salt to access room-and-pillar potash panels was sound, determining the most efficient mining system proved difficult and it was not until 1984 that CPL reduced mining costs sufficiently to achieve profitability.
		Potash production rates are related to demand projections whilst salt output is roughly determined by the development required to achieve the potash target.

	Potash industry
		Potash from wood ashes is now chiefly made in Russia, Sweden, and America, the woods most employed being elm, maple, and birch.
		The prevention of this nuisance, as well as the value of the potash, has necessitated attempts to dispose of the washings in some economical manner, and they are usually evaporated to dryness and calcined.
		Potassium carbonate is sold in trade under the name of potash or pearl ash, and is used chiefly in the glass industry, for caustic potash and for chromates of potassium.

	USGS Minerals Information: Potash
		Potash is used primarily as an agricultural fertilizer (plant nutrient) because it is a source of soluble potassium, one of the three primary plant nutrients; the others are fixed nitrogen and soluble phosphorus.
		Potash and phosphorus are mined products, and fixed nitrogen is produced from the atmosphere by using industrial processes.
		Potash denotes a variety of mined and manufactured salts, all containing the element potassium in water-soluble form.

	Potash for grassland
		Potash is used to regulate the movement and storage of solutions throughout the plant which might be compared to the blood system in animals or humans.
		The large and worthwhile growth response of grass to nitrogen is dependent upon a balanced supply of potash both to assist N uptake by the roots as nitrate and to support the conversion of this to the complex proteins needed by the animal.
		Potash requirements for grazing are low as detailed above but it is obviously prudent to avoid any potash applications, including FYM or slurry, at times of greatest risk of mineral imbalance such as during the spring flush of growth and in the autumn when grass supply and value is decreasing.

		Potash is taken from six mines in Saskatchewan, five of which the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (PCS) owns and operates.
		It is then ground into distinct particles of potash and salt, pumped into tanks and agitated to "wash" the clay off the ore. The image at the left is a brine pool.
		Potash destined for offshore markets is exported via waterways by Canpotex, the export company owned by all Saskatchewan potash producers, from the West Coast, the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico.

	Intrepid Potash Mine Locations
		The Cane Creek potash mine located about 20 miles west of Moab is unique because of the method used to extract the potash ore. The mine began as a conventional underground excavation in 1964, but was converted in 1970 to a system combining solution mining and solar evaporation.
		Processed potash and salt is moved throughout the plant in covered conveyers keeping the potash pure and overhead costs low.
		Potash is stored in a variety of manners depending on its end use.

	soil potash fertility - 3.
		Natural soil potash stocks in the Atlantic region are usually too low for sustained high crop yields, however, use of livestock manure and / or fertilizer phosphorus may build up the soil phosphorus content to the point that a significant portion of the crops requirements can be met by the soil stocks.
		Uptake of potash by plant roots is dependent on soil oxygen supply, which is restricted by excess soil water.
		Potash fertilizer has high salt index, so if you include it in a banded application, the additional fertilizer increases the risk of fertilizer burn to the seed or seedling.

		Potash was one of the first products to be exported by the American colonists, being shipped from Jamestown to England as early as 1608.
		Since they had thousands of acres of forests to remove in order to create farmland, the colonists had an enormous supply of ash, from which they created the potash that was so in demand by English industry for soap and glass making.
		The colonists also used potash to make soap for their own use.

		"In fact, it's the first significant potash mine in South-East Asia." And potash is essential to agriculture development as it is one of the basic nutrients for plants.
		"We initiated this project by exploring for potash in the Udon Thai Potash Concession Area where we successfully identified a sylvinite deposit which is a high-grade potash ore sufficient to support at least one 2 million tonne/annum mine and possibly even a second and a third.
		The growth of the potash market in this region is so substantial that those two million tons can easily be absorbed into the market (11 million tons were delivered in 1998 with a predicted growth of five million more tons expected over the next five years).
