Soda ash is the trade name for sodium carbonate , with the chemical formula of Na2Co3.This multifaceted chemical is used in several functions in various industries. Soda Ash is produced through the Solvay process (also known as the ammonia-soda process). This method is among the most efficient manufacturing ways. In appearance , Soda ash resembles white crystalline powder; it is odorless and hygroscopic in nature. Depending on its features, Soda ash consists of two various kinds, namely: Light soda ash and dense soda ash.
Use:
An important use of soda ash is in the glass manufacturing , where it reduces the melting temperature of the sand used in making glass and helps in the functioning or shaping of glass articles. This multipurpose chemical is also a major ingredient for making soaps and detergents, where it is used as a smoothing agent in formulations for soaps, detergents, and other cleaning compounds. Furthermore, this resourceful alkali is widely used in other chemical materials in a different way. Soda ash has various applications in mining processes, pulp and paper industry, the creation of sodium compounds , water refining, metal refining, textile processing, cleaning preparations, petroleum and metallurgical refining, iron and steel industry, and pharmaceutical industry.
Packaging and Storage
Soda ash packaging is done in polymer bags of various sizes from 1kg to 40kg and metric ton in jumbo bags depending on customer requirements. Soda ash should be stored under cover in a cool, dry place and bags containing the substance should not be loaded a height of more than 15 bags.
