INTRODUCTION
Research Background Potassium Carbonate is a white chemical discovered by Antonio Campanella in 1742. Producing potassium carbonate is simple enough and can be done via electrolysis. Electrolysis produces potassium carbonate in commercial quantities by generally used as nutritional supplement in livestock feed. It is also used in food production, replacement of calcium chloride and magnesium. Potassium carbonate can be used in extinguishing and preventing the spread of fire. Sodium is a form of hydrous sodium borate. It is normally color white or light grey but can be tinted light shades of blue, green, and yellow. Naturally occurring sodium borate due to water evaporates. It has myriad uses in modern world, both at home and in the industry. In our homes, it is used as a bound dry detergent, boaster, cleaner, preservative, fungicide, insecticide, herbicide, and disinfectant. In industry, it is used as a buffer, a dispersal agent, welding flux, and to control fire. It can also be used to coat electrical and cellulose insulation. Borates are used as a nuclear containment shield. Cotton is a soft fiber that grows around the seeds of the cotton plant. The fiber is most often spun into thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile. Cotton is a valuable crop because only about 10% of the raw weight lost in processing once traces of wax, protein, etc. are removed: the remainder is a natural polymer of
