Discussion on the process theory of converting sodium carbonate to sodium hydroxide
Thread Content
Dear all: Let’s discuss a current hot topic: the feasibility of the process theory for converting sodium carbonate into sodium hydroxide. Everyone is welcome to actively participate in the discussion.
Pointless discussion; who still uses the old processes?
Its chemical equation can be expressed as: Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 = CaCO3↓ + 2NaOH. Since the reaction produces white calcium carbonate precipitate, this process is theoretically feasible
It’s not just theoretically possible; it’s actually achievable. It has been achieved for decades now.
Thank you all, I feel that mass production is not cost-effective in terms of technology and economy.
There’s no such thing as it being uneconomical; there are many natural soda ash lakes, and the cost remains quite low. The problem is that the calcium carbonate produced is rather difficult to handle.
