Caustic Potash (Potassium Hydroxide) from Potash and Slaked Lime, Ure 1839

Boiling potash with slaked lime makes it caustic: the lime takes the carbonic acid and falls as chalk, and potassium hydroxide stays in the water. Andrew Ure (1839) gives the method; it was the main way to make caustic potash until electrolysis took over late in the 19th century.

Dissolve and add lime

Dissolve the potash in six times its weight of water in an iron kettle. Stir in as much slaked lime as there was potash.

Boil an hour, then settle

Boil for an hour. Cover it and let the chalk settle, out of contact with air: the lye takes carbonic acid back from the air.

Siphon off and boil down

Siphon the clear lye into the cleaned kettle and boil it down, covered except for a small steam hole, until it flows like oil, nearly red-hot.

Pour, cut and bottle

Pour it onto a bright iron plate, cut it into pieces as soon as it sets and bottle it at once under a ground stopper: in air it soaks up water and carbonic acid.

Limits

Ure's method; the kettle, the charcoal fire and the quantities in the notebook are ours. Caustic potash burns skin and eyes: Ure says never to touch it with the fingers.
