Soda Ash CAS NO.5968-11-6

The synthetic soda is produced using the ammonia-soda process, popularily known as the Solvay process. Common salt and limestone are the raw materials processed and converted into soda ash and calcium chloride.

Physical & Chemical Properties
Light soda Ash is white, odorless, uniform product, free from dirt and other foreign matter. Soda Ash has a tendency to absorb moisture from the atmosphere. The moist Soda Ash then starts absorbing the atmospheric carbon dioxide. This phenomenon of absorption of moisture and carbon dioxide by Soda Ash is known as weathering. After such weathering, Soda Ash is likely to contain appreciable moisture and sodium bicarbonate. However, the total alkali content of the bag does not change. Soda Ash has a tendency to cake when in contact with moisture and consequently become lumpy.

Applications
Light Soda Ah is one of the most important basic industrial chemicals and the most widely used fixed alkali for manufacture of other alkali products, sodium salts, glass, soap, sodium silicates, detergent, bicarbonates, bichromates, pulp and paper, cellulose and ravon, iron and steel, aluminium, cleaning compounds, water softening chemicals, texiles and dyestuffs, drugs and many other materials. It also finds extensive use as an alkali for household purposes ans as a washing powder by laundries and washerman.
