Soda ash, the trade name for sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), is a white, anhydrous, powdered or granular material. It is an essential raw material used in the manufacturing of glass, detergents chemicals and other industrial products.
Soda ash is made in two main grades - light and dense. These have the same chemical properties and only differ in physical characteristics, such as bulk density and particle size and shape (which affect flow characteristics and angle of repose).
| Item | Soda Ash Dense | Soda Ash Light |
| Na2CO3 % | 99.2min | 99.2min |
| NaCl % | 0.7max | 0.7max |
| Iron Content % | 0.0035max | 0.0035max |
| Sulfate(S04)% | 0.03max | 0.03max |
| Water insoluble % | 0.03max | 0.03max |
| Bulk density g/ml | 0.90 min | 0.5-0.6 |
| Particle size(180um sieving residue %) | 70.0min |
Soda Ash is mainly used for light industry, building materials, chemical industry; textiles, petroleum and medical areas.
1. The manufacture of glass is one of the most important uses of sodium carbonate. When it iscombined with silica (SiO2) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and heated to very high temperatures,then cooled very rapidly, glass is produced.
2. Soda ash is also used to clean the air and soften water.
3. Manufacture of Soda Ash and dyestuffs.
4. Metallurgy (processing of steel and extraction of iron etc),
5. Flat glass, sanitary pottery
