DESCRIPTION OF DENSE SODA ASH

Dense soda ash, also known as dense sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃), is a white, odorless, water-soluble compound with a higher bulk density compared to light soda ash. It is widely used in various industrial processes due to its chemical properties and ability to act as a strong alkali. Here are some key aspects of dense soda ash:

        Physical Properties

1. Appearance :
   – White, granular solid.
2. Density :
   – Dense soda ash has a bulk density typically ranging from 0.9 to 1.1 g/cm³, making it heavier and more compact than light soda ash.
3. Solubility :
   – Soluble in water, with solubility increasing with temperature. At 20°C, its solubility in water is about 215 g/L.
4. Melting Point :
   – Decomposes at around 851°C (1564°F) before melting.
5. Hygroscopicity :
   – Absorbs moisture from the air, which can cause it to cake if not stored properly.

        Chemical Properties

1. Chemical Formula :
   – Na₂CO₃
2. Molecular Weight :
   – 105.99 g/mol
3. pH*:
   – A 1% aqueous solution of dense soda ash has a pH of around 11.5, indicating its strong alkalinity.
4. Reactivity :
   – Reacts with acids to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂), water, and the corresponding salt:[
   text{Na}_2text{CO}_3 + 2 text{HCl} rightarrow 2 text{NaCl} + text{H}_2text{O} + text{CO}_2
   ] – Reacts with water to form a weakly basic solution due to partial hydrolysis.

SODA ASH DENSE USAGE

sodium carbonate dense, or dense sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃), is utilized in various industries due to its chemical properties and higher bulk density compared to light soda ash. Here are the primary uses of dense soda ash:

1. Glass Manufacturing
   –  Flat Glass : Used in the production of windows, mirrors, and automotive glass. Dense soda ash lowers the melting point of silica, saving energy and enhancing the quality of the glass.
   –  Container Glass : Essential in making bottles, jars, and other glass containers. It improves the chemical durability, clarity, and strength of the glass.
   –  Specialty Glass : Utilized in the production of glass fibers for insulation, optical fibers for telecommunications, and other specialized glass products.
2. Chemical Industry
   –  Sodium Compounds : Acts as a raw material for producing various sodium-based chemicals, such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), sodium silicate, and sodium tripolyphosphate.
   –  Acid Neutralization : Used in chemical processes to neutralize acidic waste streams.
3. Detergents and Cleaning Products
   –  Builders : Enhances the cleaning efficiency of surfactants in detergents by softening water, making it a key ingredient in laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents, and other household cleaners.
   –  Cleaning Agent : Used in industrial and household cleaners for removing grease, oil, and stains from surfaces.
4. Water Treatment
   –  pH Adjustment : Used to raise the pH of acidic water in municipal water treatment plants, swimming pools, and industrial water systems, preventing corrosion and maintaining proper water chemistry.
5. Pulp and Paper Industry
   –  Pulping : Involved in the pulping process to separate cellulose fibers from lignin.
   –  Bleaching : Used as a bleaching agent to whiten paper products.
6. Textile Processing
   –  Dye Fixation : Helps fix dyes to fibers during the textile dyeing process.
   –  pH Control : Used to maintain the desired pH levels in textile processing.
7. Metal Refining
   –  Extraction : Utilized in the extraction of metals such as copper, zinc, and lead from their ores. It helps to separate valuable metals from their ores and improve the efficiency of the refining process.
8. Food Industry
   –  Food Additive (E500) : Used to regulate acidity in various food products.
   –  Leavening Agent : Acts as a leavening agent in baking, helping dough to rise.
9. Environmental Applications
   –  Flue Gas Desulfurization : Removes sulfur dioxide (SO₂) from the exhaust gases of power plants and industrial facilities, reducing air pollution and helping to meet environmental regulations.
   –  Soil Remediation : Neutralizes acidic soils, improving soil quality for agricultural use.
10. Oil and Gas Industry
    –  Drilling Fluids : Used to control the pH and alkalinity of drilling fluids in oil and gas extraction, ensuring efficient and safe drilling operations.
11. Ceramics and Enamels
    –  Glazing : Used in the production of ceramics and enamel glazes, controlling the melting point and improving the quality and durability of the final product.
12. Miscellaneous Applications
    –  Fire Extinguishers : Used in the production of dry chemical fire extinguishers.
    –  Adhesives and Sealants : Involved in the formulation of certain adhesives and sealants, enhancing their performance and stability.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SODA ASH LIGH AND DENCE

It is well known that there are two main types of soda ash: dense and light.

• Physical property: there is no difference in chemical formula between the two. The difference in size mainly lies in physical properties, such as loose density, particle size and shape, and resting Angle. Generally, the density of soda ash light is 500-600kg/m3, the density of soda ash dense is 1000-1200kg/m3.
• Price difference: soda ash dense is higher than light
• Production method: It is mainly produced by the ammonia-alkali method, which uses raw salt and limestone as raw materials to produce soda ash light by chemical synthesis method, and soda ash dense is produced by solid-phase water method.
  Soda ash dense is mainly produced by natural alkali method, with natural alkali as raw material, and by evaporation method or carbonization method.
