Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate)
Material Profile
Soda Ash is a fundamental industrial alkali and essential raw material, renowned for its strong alkalinity, cost-effectiveness, and versatile reactivity. It serves as a cornerstone in numerous industrial processes, from glass manufacturing to chemical synthesis. Commercial production primarily follows the Solvay process, with natural deposits (trona ore) also being a significant source.
Core Characteristics
