Sodium carbonate is also known as soda ash, washing soda and soda crystals. The chemical formula of sodium carbonate Na2CO3. Sodium carbonate is a material that has various applications in various industries. Two types of sodium carbonate are used.
Sodium Carbonate
• Heavy sodium carbonate (the most important use of this material is in the glass industry)
• Light Sodium Carbonate
• Light Sodium Carbonate
The difference between heavy and light sodium carbonate is only in their density, particle size, and application, and they are not chemically different.
Sodium carbonate applications are in detergent and soap industries – paint and textile industries – leather – paper – metals – batteries and casting industries – salt purification – petroleum industries – manufacture of sodium silicate and sulfur – cleaners and chemicals, etc.
