Soda ash or sodium bicarbonate is a stable, odorless, white powder. Soda ash is an alkali obtained by refining mineral trona, brines of sodium bicarbonate available naturally or nahcolite mineral. Synthetic soda ash is manufactured by Solvay process with limestone and salt as raw materials. Dense soda ash, light soda ash and washing soda are the three primary grades of soda ash available in the market. Although these grades possess same chemical properties, they are differ from each other in terms of bulk density, particle size as well as shape. Soda ash find its major application in glass manufacturing industry for the production of glasses for automotive industries, commercial buildings, containers housing and insulation. Soda ash has significance in metallurgical processes of removing calcium, phosphorous and sulphur from certain ferrous as well as nonferrous ores. Moreover, it is widely used in the recycling processes of aluminium and zinc. Due to its high solubility, it finds applications in various chemical industries for manufacturing products, such as coloring agents, dyes, fertilizers, synthetic detergents as a raw material. In industries such as enamelling and petroleum, soda ash has importance as a chemical agent. Soda ash has useful environmental applications such as improving the alkalinity of those lakes that are affected by acid rain and in reducing the acid presence in the emissions from power plants.
