Soda Ash
Soda Ash or Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is also known as bicarbonate of soda, soda crystals, and washing soda. Soda Ash is one of the most important industrial chemicals that is widely used in the production of other alkaline products, sodium salts, etc. Soda ash is the common name of anhydrous sodium carbonate, which is used industrially. Sodium carbonate or soda ash is actually the sodium salt of carbonic acid, which is normally a white solid. Soda Ash is produced on an industrial scale through the Solvay process using ammonia, limestone and salt.
