I would like to ask the teachers in the soda ash sector: if, for various reasons, they are unable to work on the front line of soda ash production, how can they quickly learn the production process for combined alkali, so as to understand not only what needs to be done but also why it needs to be done.
It’s not really a suggestion specific to this position, but it would be useful to prepare a process flow diagram that includes all the principles involved. The principle behind the process from system startup to normal operation and then to equipment shutdown. By referring to the process conditions for each section, it can be mastered quickly. You might as well give it a try. In fact, chemical processes are all interconnected. For reference.
Knowing the basics, a reading method using about one lamp oil unit is sufficient. Understanding the reasons behind it, and with a basic knowledge of inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and fundamentals of chemical engineering, it should be possible to get started quickly. Without the accumulation of relevant knowledge, it will be a very long process, especially when it comes to chemical kinetics and chemical thermodynamics in physical chemistry.
The best way is to go around the site with the technician, using the drawings as a guide, so that he can explain everything to you and help you get familiar with the process first
The production process of soda ash is simpler compared to other processes, with the key lying in material balance
