Soda Ash

Listing ID #794150

The synthetic Soda Ash is produced using the ammonia-soda process, popularly known as the Solvay process. Common salt and limestone are the raw materials processed and converted into soda ash and calcium chloride. Soda Ash Dense is a white, odorless, uniform product, free from dirt and other foreign matter. Our 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 content with moisture and consequently becomes lumpy. Our Soda Ash is available in 2 grades: Soda Ash Dense (SODA SOLVAY® DENSE) which is produced both in Europe and in the USA and Soda Ash Light (SODA SOLVAY® LIGHT).

• Soda Ash Dense :
  

• The dense grade has a bulk density of ~1 t per m3 and a Particle-Median-Diameter (D50) of 300 to 500 microns. Soda Ash Dense is the grade preferred for glass manufacture because its granular properties make it dust-free and reduce the risks of segregation during transport and handling.

• Application : Dense Soda Ash is one of the most important basic industrial chemicals and thus finds use in glass, silicate, ultramarine, bi-chromate and other industries.

• Storage : Soda Ash should be stored under cover in a cool, dry place and the bags should not be stacked more than 15 high

• Soda Ash Light :
  

  • The light grade has a bulk density of ~0, 5 t per m3. The D50 of approximately 100 microns is very well suited for detergent and chemical applications.

  • Application : Light Soda Ash is one of 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, bicarbonate, pulp and paper, cellulose and rayon, iron and steel, aluminum, cleaning compounds, water softening chemicals, textiles and dyestuffs, drugs and many other materials. It also finds extensive use as an alkali for household purposes and as a washing powder by laundries and washer men.

  • Storage : Soda Ash should be stored under cover in a cool, dry place and the bags should not be stacked more than 15 high.
