The principal use of silver carbonate is for the production of silver powder for use in microelectronics. It is reduced with formaldehyde, producing silver free of alkali metals: Ag2CO3 + CH2O → 2 Ag + 2 CO2 + H2O. Silver carbonate is used as a reagent in organic synthesis such as the Koenigs-Knorr reaction
