The Solvay process or ammonia–soda process is the major industrial process for the production of sodium carbonate (soda ash, Na 2 CO 3).The ammonia–soda process was developed into its modern form by the Belgian chemist Ernest Solvay during the 1860s. [1]
Sodium carbonate decahydrate (Na 2 CO 3 ·10H 2 O), also known as washing soda, is the most common hydrate of sodium carbonate containing 10 molecules of water of crystallization. Soda ash is dissolved in water and crystallized to get washing soda.
The Leblanc process was an early industrial process for making soda ash (sodium carbonate) used throughout the 19th century, named after its inventor, Nicolas Leblanc.It involved two stages: making sodium sulfate from sodium chloride, followed by reacting the sodium sulfate with coal and calcium carbonate to make sodium carbonate.
Natron is a naturally occurring mixture of sodium carbonate decahydrate (Na 2 CO 3 ·10H 2 O, a kind of soda ash) and around 17% sodium bicarbonate (also called baking soda, NaHCO 3) along with small quantities of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate. Natron is white to colourless when pure, varying to gray or yellow with impurities.
The Mannheim process is an industrial process for the production of hydrogen chloride and sodium sulfate from sulfuric acid and sodium chloride. [1] The Mannheim furnace is also used to produce potassium sulfate from potassium chloride. [2] The Mannheim process is a stage in the Leblanc process for the production of sodium carbonate.
Preparation [ edit ] Fétizon's reagent is typically prepared by adding silver nitrate to an aqueous solution of a carbonate, such as sodium carbonate [ 2 ] or potassium bicarbonate , [ 3 ] while being vigorously stirred in the presence of purified celite.
In the laboratory, sodium formate can be prepared by neutralizing formic acid with sodium carbonate. It can also be obtained by reacting chloroform with an alcoholic solution of sodium hydroxide. CHCl 3 + 4 NaOH → HCOONa + 3 NaCl + 2 H 2 O. or by reacting sodium hydroxide with chloral hydrate. C 2 HCl 3 (OH) 2 + NaOH → CHCl 3 + HCOONa + H 2 O
Sodium percarbonate or sodium carbonate peroxide is a chemical substance with empirical formula Na 2 H 3 C 2 O 6.It is an adduct of sodium carbonate ("soda ash" or "washing soda") and hydrogen peroxide (that is, a perhydrate) whose formula is more properly written as 2 Na 2 CO 3 · 3 H 2 O 2.
