As nouns the difference between potash and potassium
is that potash is the water-soluble part of the ash formed by burning plant material; used for making soap, glass and as a fertilizer while potassium is a soft, waxy, silvery reactive metal that is never found unbound in nature; an element (symbol K) with an atomic number of 19 and atomic weight of 39.0983. The symbol is derived from the Latin kalium.
