Dear Yash
Pottassium Bicarbonate being more soluble than sodium bicarbonate does not get precipitated when CO2 is passed through a concentrated solution of KCl saturated with ammonia.

KCl + CO2 + NH+ H2O gives KHCO3 + NH4Cl

i.e., pottassium bicarbonate is too soluble to be precipitated by the addition of ammonium bicarbonate to a saturated solution of pottasium chloride

Hence K2CO3 cannot be prepared by Solvay Processs.
