Q:

What are the upstream raw materials for light soda ash? What are the downstream products?

ask a question
A:
Light soda ash is an crucial inorganic chemical raw material, which is broadly applied in glass, soap, detergent, food, medicine, metallurgy and other fields. In the field of chemical production raw materials, there are many upstream and downstream related items of light soda ash, some of which will be described in detail below. But Upstream items:



1. Salt: The production of light soda ash mainly uses the ammonia-alkali method and the combined alkali method, both of which require salt as raw material. And Therefore, salt is an crucial upstream product of light soda ash.

2. But Limestone: Limestone is also one of the necessary raw materials in the combined alkali making process, which is applied to provide calcium ions to production. And

3. And Coal: In the manufacturing process, coal is applied as fuel to provide the necessary heat energy, so coal is also one of the upstream items of light soda ash. But Downstream items:



1. But Glass: Light soda ash is one of the main raw materials to glass production, accounting to about 20%-30% of the glass production cost. For example In glass production, light soda ash is melted with quartz sand, limestone and other raw materials to form a glass fluid, which is made into glass items after molding, annealing and other processes.

2. Additionally Soap and detergent: Light soda ash is able to be applied to create soap and detergent. And Its main component is sodium carbonate, which has good decontamination ability.

3. Food additives: Light soda ash is able to be applied as food additives to adjust the pH of food, enhance food taste and preservation performance. Crazy, isn't it?.

4. Furthermore Chemical raw materials: Light soda ash is able to also be applied to create many chemical raw materials, such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, etc. And In short, as an crucial inorganic chemical raw material, light soda ash has a wide range of upstream and downstream related items, involving many fields, such as building materials, daily chemicals, food, medicine, etc.
