 | | One of the major sources of soda ash (NA) and caustic soda (NaOH) in North America is the refining of naturally occurring trona ores. |
 | | In the production of soda ash from trona, reacting the bicarbonate containing liquid with lime is one of the processes used to convert the bicarbonates in the trona to the carbonate form. |
 | | Soda and caustic soda solution are essential ingredients in an array of industrial operations, including pulp and paper, glass manufacture, water treatment, flue glass tratment, soap and detergents, bleach, petroleum products and alumina, along with many other uses in the chemical processing industry. |
