Solvay process cannot be used to prepare potassium carbonate. This is because unlike sodium bicarbonate,potassium bicarbonate is fairly soluble in water and does not precipitate out.

Potassium carbonate cannot be prepared by Solvay process because potassium bicarbonate being more soluble than sodium bicarbonate does not get precipitated when CO2 is passed through a Conc. Solution of KCl saturated with ammonium.

Potassium carbonate cannot be prepared by Solvay process because potassium biocarbonate being highly soluble in water does not get precipitated in carbonation tower when CO2 is passed through a concentrated solution of KCI saturated with ammonia.
