Soda ash, sodium carbonate, commonly known as stone alkali, alkali powder, alkali ash, is a salt. Industrial grade soda ash and food grade soda ash are one of the commonly used raw materials.
Soda ash is white powder and fine crystal, aqueous solution is alkaline due to hydrolysis, soda ash has a strong hygroscopic property and is easy to deliquesce in humid air. Soda ash can be divided into industrial grade soda ash, food grade soda ash. According to the packing density, soda ash can be divided into light soda ash and heavy soda ash, as well as by-product alkali, ground alkali, low salt alkali and so on.
Glass production is the main industry consuming soda ash, the production of a ton of glass requires 0.2 tons of soda ash, mainly used for float glass, optical glass and so on. Soda ash also acts as a clarifying agent to eliminate air bubbles in liquid glass.
Heavy soda ash can reduce the flying of alkali dust, reduce raw material consumption and save costs, but also reduce the erosion of alkali powder on refractory materials, and extend the service life of the kiln.
The soda ash solution is alkaline due to hydrolysis and can be saponified with oil stains and can be used in the production of detergent for rinsing wool.
Soda ash can be used as a buffer to dissolve lignin and disperse cellulose into pulp.
Food grade soda ash is often used as buffer, neutralizer, and dough improver in the production of pastries and pasta products.
Food grade soda ash can be prepared into soda water and added to pasta to enhance the elasticity and ductility of the finished product.
The solution of soda ash is sprinkled on grapes, vegetables and other dark foods, which can effectively reduce pesticide residues and keep food fresh.
Industrial grade soda ash and food grade soda ash are widely used in daily life.
