3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

Potassium’s compounds are in high demand for their application in Fertilizer manufacturing.
Potassium carbonate is used in glass manufacturing and Potassium carbonate in manufacturing detergent and body wash.

Dysprosium metal is highly reactive due to which it pure form is not as usual as its alloy.
Thi metals alloy is used in magnate as it is resistance to high temperature.
