Soda Ash Production Cost Analysis 2020

Soda ash is an inorganic compound. In appearance, all the forms of soda ash are white. Soda ash is known as a water-soluble salt. It is manufactured in large quantities using sodium chloride with limestone. It is made using the Solvay process. 

Soda ash is most widely utilised in the production of glass, paper, rayon, soaps, and even detergents. It can serve as a flux for silica as it reduces the melting point of the mixture. Soda ash is utilised to soften water by removing Mg2+ and Ca2+. These ions are basically known to form insoluble solid precipitates upon treatment with carbonate ions. It can also act as a food additive. It can be utilised as an acidity regulator, anticaking agent, and even as a stabiliser. Soda ash is utilised in the manufacturing of snus to stabilise the pH of the final product. It is also utilised as a relatively strong base in various fields. As a common alkali, it is preferred in several chemical processes since it is cheaper than NaOH and far safer to handle. Owing to its mildness, it particularly finds use in domestic applications.
