Soda ash dense, also known as sodium carbonate dense, is a type of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) that is characterized by its high density and fine particle size. Here are some key properties and uses of soda ash dense:
Properties
1. Chemical Formula: Na2CO3
2. Molecular Weight: 105.99 g/mol
3. Appearance: White crystalline powder
4. Solubility: Soluble in water, slightly soluble in organic solvents
5. pH: 10.5-11.5 (1% aqueous solution)
6. Density: 2.5-2.7 g/cm3 (dense grade)
Uses
1. Glass Manufacturing: Soda ash dense is used as a raw material in the production of glass, including:
1. Float glass
2. Container glass
3. Fiberglass
2. Detergents and Cleaning Agents: It is used in the production of detergents and cleaning agents, such as:
1. Laundry detergents
2. Dishwashing detergents
3. All-purpose cleaners
3. Paper and Pulp Industry: Soda ash dense is used in the paper and pulp industry as a:
1. Sizing agent
2. Bleaching agent
3. Coating agent
4. Water Treatment: It is used in water treatment applications, such as:
1. pH control
2. Softening
3. Stabilization
Benefits
1. High Purity: Soda ash dense has a high purity level, making it suitable for use in applications where high quality is required.
2. Fine Particle Size: Its fine particle size ensures good dispersion and solubility in water, making it easy to handle and use.
3. High Density: The high density of soda ash dense reduces dusting and makes it easier to transport and store.
4. Cost-Effective: It is a cost-effective alternative to other types of sodium carbonate.
