RE: A question for the electrochemists

Hi Robin, I assume you mean potassium carbonate in an aqueous solution. If that is the case, you won't get any potassium metal at all. You need a molten non-aqueous potassium compound in order to do this, such as potassium chloride.

Could someone tell me generally, which parameters affect the creation of potassium metal at the cathode of an electrolytic cell that uses a potassium carbonate electrolyte, and how to maximize it's production?
