Soda Ash food grade is used in the food industry in following applications: Adjusting the pH of food products Adjusting the level of sourness in pickles and increasing their shelf life Use in dough for baking products such as bread, cakes and biscuits Use as a leavening powder in carbonated drinks Use as a diluent in sauces, preserves and jams These uses may vary depending on the type of product and relevant health standards and regulations. Soda Ash food grade [...]
SLES in cosmetics using as one of important ingredients. One of the growing industries in modern societies today is the skin, cosmetic and health products sector. This is an industrial field whose products cover all segments of society, from children to adults. If you have ever looked at a catalog or the back of care products, you have definitely seen one of the names SLS, SLES, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, texapone, laureth sulfate salt, etc. The main question is [...]
Oxidized bitumen Application in some industries as sealant and modifier. Blown bitumen or oxidized is a type of bitumen that is obtained by blowing hot air into pure bitumen in the final stage of the refining process. In this process, hot air at a temperature of 200 to 300 degrees Celsius is blown through perforated pipes into a chamber containing bitumen. Polymerization in the production of blown bitumen In the production of blown bitumen, the polymerization process is of [...]
Gilsonite for foundry coke is used as a binder for molds and sand cores. It improves the strength and durability of molds and also reduces the risk of burn-in defects during the casting process. Gilsonite can also be used as a coating for metal castings to improve their appearance and protect them from corrosion. In addition, it can be added to refractories to increase their thermal conductivity and improve their resistance to high temperatures. The general applications of Gilsonite [...]
Phthalic anhydride (C₆H₄(CO)₂O) is a white, crystalline organic compound derived from phthalic acid. It is one of the most important industrial chemicals, serving as a key intermediate in the production of a wide range of products. Phthalic anhydride or PHA has a pungent odor and is primarily produced through the catalytic oxidation of o-xylene or naphthalene. Chemical and Physical Properties • Molecular formula: C₈H₄O₃• Molar mass: 148.12 g/mol• Appearance: White solid or flakes• Melting point: ~131°C• Boiling point: ~295°C (sublimes) Production The primary [...]
Limestone application is very wide due to compatibility in some industries. Limestone, one of the most abundant carbonate sedimentary minerals, is used in many industries and constructions. This mineral is composed of the main components calcite and aragonite and comprises about 10% of the sedimentary rocks of the Earth’s crust. Limestones are usually made from fossils of living organisms such as corals and contain other minerals such as silica and clay that are added to it by rivers. This [...]
Bitumen packing and shipped to other countries in three ways: barrels, jumbo bags, and poly bags. Each of these methods has its own characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages, which we will discuss in detail below: Bitumen Packing in steel barrels Steel barrels of various sizes are used to store and load bitumen in containers. The most common thickness of each barrel body according to defined standards is 0.6 mm. Each container can accommodate from 80 to 140 barrels. This number depends on [...]
Fluorspar application in the hydrofluoric acid (HF) industry The reaction of fluorspar by CaF2 formula with sulfuric acid and heating in a furnace produces hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas and calcium sulfate. After purification by scrubbing, condensation, and distillation, the HF is sold as anhydrous HF, a colorless fuming liquid; or it may be absorbed to form aqueous acid, usually 70% HF. Synthetic cryolite, organic or inorganic fluoride chemicals, and elemental fluorine are made from hydrofluoric acid. The [...]
MEG Application as antifreeze When MEG dissolves in water, the hydrogen bond is broken. Monoethylene glycol freezes at a temperature of minus 12 degrees Celsius. This substance is added as an additive to car cooling systems and heating systems to prevent freezing. In other words, adding monoethylene glycol to water lowers the freezing point of the solution and the water does not freeze even at lower temperatures. This application is very important because in cold regions, water may freeze naturally [...]
Sodium Bicarbonate applications in Food and Beverage Industries Sodium Bicarbonate applications as a leavening agent in the production of bread, cakes, and other baked goods. Reacting with acids, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which helps increase the volume and delicate texture of the product. pH Regulator: Used in the production of carbonated beverages to regulate acidity and produce carbon dioxide gas. Food Preservation: Used as an anti-odor and moisture regulator to maintain the freshness of some foods. Pharmaceutical and [...]
