Help With Isolating Potassium

(1/1)

tjkool202:
  I have acquired KOH chips and I have been trying to isolate the potassium through electrolysis.  Once I melted the KOH and started the process, the liquid started to turn blue.  Was that potassium forming?



      Thanks

Mitch:
Try switching your electrodes.

KOH flakes? That's an expensive way to do it, much cheaper to use pellets I would imagine.
