Abstract: In this manuscript, the chemi-recombination (CR) processes i.e. electron driven collisions are examined. We obtained the rate coefficients for CR processes in potassium collisions for principal quantum numbers n ≥ 6 and temperatures from 500 K to 5 000 K. The data presented here could help enhance the investigation and modeling of weakly ionized layers in various atmospheres and cosmic objects, including geocosmical ones.
