Sodium Carbonate (Na₂CO₃)

Sodium Carbonate, commonly known as Na₂CO₃ or soda ash, is a high-quality, white crystalline powder that is odorless and highly soluble in water. It is widely used in various industries, including glass manufacturing, detergents, and water treatment.

Key Features:

• Chemical Formula: Na₂CO₃
• Molar Mass: 105.99 g/mol
• Appearance: White crystalline powder
• Solubility: Highly soluble in water
• Applications:
  • Glass Manufacturing: Used as a key raw material in the production of glass, reducing the melting point of silica.
  • Detergents: Acts as a builder in detergents to enhance cleaning efficiency by softening water.
  • Water Treatment: Utilized to adjust pH levels and soften water in various water treatment processes.
  • Food Processing: Employed as a food additive (E500) to regulate acidity and act as a raising agent in baking.

Benefits:

• Improves the quality and production efficiency of glass products.
• Enhances cleaning efficiency in detergents by softening water.
• Optimizes water treatment operations by adjusting pH levels and softening water.
