Introduction
There are two ways
to obtain soda ash:
- Conversion of common
salt.
- Naturally occurring
deposits.
Since these deposits
are not available in sufficient quantities here in India, soda ash
is produced by conversion of common salt, whereas in USA, it is
primarily produced from natural deposits.
Soda ash is
generated in hydrated form, this is called washing soda. It is
further dried to remove water. The dehydrated form is called soda
ash. There are four varieties of soda ash -
- Light form - used as a
solvent.
- Dense form - used in the
manufacture of furnace based products.
- Medium form - used in the
manufacture of paper, dyes, soaps, and detergents.
- Granular form - used as a
substitute for the dense variety.
