sodium carbonate
barrilha > carbonato de sódio (Na2CO3·10H2O) > sodium carbonate
sodium carbonate,
chemical compound, Na2CO3, soluble in water and very slightly soluble in alcohol. Pure sodium carbonate is a white, odorless powder that absorbs moisture from the air, has an alkaline taste, and forms a strongly alkaline water solution. It is one of the most basic industrial chemicals. Sodium carbonate decahydrate, Na2CO3·10H2O, is a colorless, transparent crystalline compound commonly called sal soda or washing soda. Because seaweed ashes were an early source of sodium carbonate, it is often called soda ash or, simply, soda. The Solvay process <43738.html> provides most sodium carbonate for industrial use. It is found in large natural deposits and is mined in Wyoming; it is also recovered (with other chemicals) from lake brines in California. The principal uses of sodium carbonate are in the manufacture of glass <05140.html> and the production of chemicals. It is also used in processing wood pulp to make paper, in making soaps <12027.html> and detergents, in refining aluminum, in water softening, and in many other applications. The Leblanc process, the first successful commercial process for making soda, is no longer used in the United States but played a major role in the Industrial Revolution.

soda ash
barrilha is sodium carbonate, also known in industry as 'soda ash'...
"Soda Ash and derivatives
Primary Markets:
Glass Manufacture | Chemical Industry | Detergent Production | Paper | Food Industry | Water Treatment and Depollution | Pharmaceuticals | Metal Industry | Construction and Civil Engineering | Textiles
Sodium carbonate, or soda ash, is produced using the Solvay process and is known in many countries as SODASOLVAY. It is made using common salt, ammonia, carbon dioxide and lime."
