<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Pure potassium metal can be isolated by electrolysis of its [[potassium hydroxide|hydroxide]] in a process that has changed little since it was first used by Humphry Davy in 1807. Although the electrolysis process was developed and used in industrial scale in the 1920s, the thermal method by reacting sodium with [[potassium chloride]] in a chemical equilibrium reaction became the dominant method in the 1950s.<br />
:Na + KCl → NaCl + K<br />
The production of [[NaK|sodium potassium alloys]] is accomplished by changing the reaction time and the amount of sodium used in the reaction. The Griesheimer process employing the reaction of [[potassium fluoride]] with [[calcium carbide]] was also used to produce potassium.</div>FuzzyBot
