Sodium carbonate is an ingredient in bleach formulations, it is a water softening agent, capable of precipitating calcium and magnesium ions from water. Calcium and magnesium if not removed will combine with soap or detergent to form an insoluble residue that can stick to clothes and washing machines.
- Melting temperature: 851 ° C (Khan)
- Boiling temperature: 1,600 ° C (Khan)
- Solubility in water: 22g / 100ml (20 ° C)
- White powder, strong smell, easy to flow water in the air.
Chemical properties of Soda ash light:
- It reacts with acids to form salts and water and releases CO (2).
- It acts with the base to form new salts and new bases.
- It reacts with salt to form new salt.
- Does not decompose at high temperatures.
Usage
Soda Ash Light (Na2CO3) is used industrially for cooking glass and soap.
Used in the production of mirror glues, liquid glass.
In textile dyeing Soda ash light is also used in a large amount. Specifically as follows:
Soda Ash Light (Na2CO3) used in detergents
Sodium carbonate is an important ingredient in bleach formulations because it softens water, precipitating calcium and magnesium ions from water. If calcium and magnesium are not removed, it combines with soap or detergent, forming an insoluble residue that can stick to clothes and washing machines.
Soda Ash Light (Na2CO3) for Swimming Pool Water Treatment
SODA powder is a chemical known for its effect on raising the pH in swimming pool water. In sufficient amounts, Na2CO3 returns the pH balance to the water easily.
The advantage of this compound is that it provides a quick and non-toxic effect. When the pH of the pool reaches the standard level of 7.2 - 7.6, contaminants such as algae moss cannot grow and develop.
Na (2) CO (3) 99.2% used in glass making
Sodium carbonate accounts for 13 - 15% of the raw materials put into glass production. Na (2) CO (3) is used to cook glass, reducing the melting temperature of silicon sand and increasing the ductility. In general, Na (2) CO (3) accounts for 50 - 60% of the total input material cost.
Soda Ash Light Na (2) CO (3) 99.2% used in chemicals
Sodium carbonate is used as the first chemical in the preparation of many important sodium compounds such as borax, caustic soda, chromate and dichromate, soluble glass.
- Used as a raw material for many sodium-based chemical products. Specifically, the products are used in agriculture, food, cleaning,... Sometimes liquid soda is also used to replace Na (2) CO (3) but Na (2) CO (3) is still the main choice because of its availability and cost savings.
Na2CO3 in other industries
For the food industry: As a porous, brittle (baking powder) for many types of cakes because when encountering high temperatures or reacting with acidic substances, Na (2) CO (3) will release carbon dioxide gas.
For pharmaceutical industry: Foaming and raising pH for effervescent drugs, stomach remedies, mouthwashes.
For the field of photography, experiments, aquatic products,... Na (2) CO (3) is effective against insect pests, oil refining, production of explosives and synthetic rubber,...
Note when using
To limit water perforation, it is possible through the pool filter system to put soda in. Or divide and spread soda several times for a large area.
Absolutely do not put a lot of soda into the water at the same time because it will cause water cloudiness. After 6 hours to use the pool.
Accurately measure the amount of PH in the pool, avoid using too much or not enough doses that lead to water in the pool can vary the amount of acid-base large, harmful to the health and body of the user.
Do not use powder to treat water when someone is using the pool.
Keep out of reach of young children, avoid contact with the powder.
Do not mix soda powder with any other chemical products to avoid unwanted consequences.
Must learn and be consulted before using soda powder chemical products to treat pool water.
Storage
a. Preservative Na (2) CO (3) 99.2%
- Store in a cool, dry place, avoid moisture and direct sunlight.
- Do not mix with acids and other substances.
- The container must be sealed with a full hazard label.
