Product Information
Product Nature
Physical Properties:
· Appearance: White powder or granules (categorized as light or dense soda ash).
· Melting Point: 851°C.
· Density: Light soda ash approx. 0.5-0.6 g/cm³; Dense soda ash approx. 0.9-1.0 g/cm³.
· Solubility: Freely soluble in water. Dissolution is exothermic.
· Hygroscopicity: Hygroscopic in air, absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide, leading to caking and formation of sodium bicarbonate.Chemical Properties:
· Alkalinity: Aqueous solution is strongly alkaline (pH ≈ 11.5 for 1% solution). Reacts with acids in neutralization reactions.
· Hydrolysis: Hydrolyzes in water to form sodium hydroxide and sodium bicarbonate, resulting in an alkaline solution.
· Reaction with Salts: Can react with certain calcium and magnesium salts to form insoluble carbonate precipitates, which is the basis for water softening.
· Thermal Stability: Decomposes to sodium oxide and carbon dioxide at high temperatures.
Product Usage
Glass Industry (Largest Consumer Sector): Acts as a flux, providing the Na₂O component in glass, lowering the melting point of silica sand, thereby saving energy and simplifying production. Accounts for over 50% of total soda ash consumption.
Chemical Production: Used to manufacture other sodium compounds, such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), sodium silicate, and sodium nitrate.
Detergents: Used as an additive in soap and a builder in synthetic detergents to soften water and enhance cleaning efficiency.
Water Treatment: Serves as a pH adjuster and softening agent for industrial water and boiler feed water treatment.
Metallurgical Industry: Used as a flux in ore processing and metal smelting.
Paper Industry: Used in the pulping and bleaching processes.
Food Industry: Used as an acidity regulator and leavening agent in pasta, pastries, etc. (Requires food-grade quality).
Textile & Dyeing: Used as a water softener and pH regulator.
Safety Matters
Health Hazards:
· Irritating and corrosive. Causes irritation to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, and can cause burns.
· Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory irritation, coughing, and sore throat.
· Ingestion corrodes the digestive tract, causing abdominal pain, vomiting, and in severe cases, internal tissue damage.Handling Protection:
· Wear a dust mask, chemical safety goggles, and chemical-resistant gloves during handling.
· Avoid dust formation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
· Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling.Storage & Transportation:
· Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Strictly protect from moisture. Due to its high hygroscopicity, ensure packages are tightly sealed.
· Store separately from acids, food-grade chemicals, fluorine, and aluminum.
· Food-grade products must be stored strictly separately from industrial-grade products.Fire Fighting:
· Non-combustible. Presents no special fire hazard.
· Use water to extinguish fire, but note that water streams may cause dust agitation.
· Firefighters can wear appropriate respiratory protection based on the situation.
