Dense Sodium Carbonate Soda Ash with Melting Point 851°C and Density 2.532 g/cm3 for Metallurgy and Chemical Industry

Daily Chemical Must-Have Sodium Carbonate for Optimal Cleaning and Processing

Sodium carbonate.The chemical formula is Na2CO3, commonly known as soda ash, soda ash, alkali ash, disodium carbonate, and soda ash. It is usually a white powder and a strong electrolyte with a density of 2.532g/cm3 and a melting point of 851 ° C. It is easily soluble in water and glycerol, slightly soluble in anhydrous ethanol, and difficult to dissolve in propanol. It has salt like properties and belongs to inorganic salts. Moist air can absorb moisture and form lumps, some of which turn into sodium bicarbonate. The production methods of sodium carbonate include the combined alkali production method, ammonia alkali method, Lu Blan method, etc., and can also be refined by processing natural alkali. As an important inorganic chemical raw material, it is mainly used in the production of flat glass, glass products, and ceramic glazes. It is also widely used in daily washing, acid neutralization, and food processing. In terms of the environment, sodium carbonate is usually considered a relatively harmless substance to ecosystems. However, large-scale emissions may still affect the pH value and total alkalinity of water bodies, so appropriate management and regulation are needed during use and treatment.

As a professional sodium carbonate (soda ash) manufacturer, we specialize in providing high-quality dense soda ash (commonly known as "dense ash"), having earned a strong reputation within the industry for exceptional product quality and service. This product is supplied in bulk primarily to the metallurgical and chemical industries as a key "auxiliary agent." Dense soda ash is produced by densifying light soda ash through processes like hydration and calcination. Its bulk density is much higher than that of light ash, typically reaching 0.9-1.2 g/mL, offering significant advantages such as larger particle size, excellent flowability, low dust, reduced dusting, and lower susceptibility to moisture absorption. In the metallurgical industry, particularly in ferrous metal smelting, dense ash is an important "slag former" and "desulfurizing agent." In the steelmaking process, adding it to the converter or electric arc furnace allows it to react with harmful impurities like phosphorus and sulfur in the molten iron, forming less dense slag that floats on the surface of the molten steel, enabling efficient dephosphorization and desulfurization, and significantly enhancing the steel's purity and mechanical properties. Concurrently, it is an essential dissolving agent in the production of non-ferrous metals like alumina (Bayer process). In the chemical industry, dense ash is highly favored for its physical properties. Its high bulk density and excellent flowability make it ideal for large-scale automated dosing systems, allowing precise ratio control and improved production efficiency. The low-dust characteristic not only improves the workshop environment and reduces material loss but, more crucially, prevents contamination and interference with downstream precision chemical reactions. For instance, in the synthesis of lithium-ion battery cathode materials (e.g., lithium iron phosphate), the preparation of certain catalysts, and the production of high-end glass products, there are近乎苛刻 demands for raw material purity and consistency. Our manufacturer-direct dense soda ash features uniform and stable particle size and robust, moisture-proof packaging, making it a strategic raw material for metallurgical and high-end chemical customers aiming for cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and quality enhancement.
