Soda ash production is no longer profitable; what measures can be taken to reduce costs?
Thread Content
The production process for soda ash has been in use for over 100 years. Both the ammonia-soda process and the continuous soda process rely on the alkaline carbonation of liquid ammonia to produce carbonate ions, thereby yielding soda ash. These processes are lengthy, and the use of liquid ammonia leads to a deterioration of the production environment; as a result, production costs have risen to extremely high levels, making such processes unprofitable at present. In an effort to find new technical solutions to reduce costs and improve the environmental conditions, efforts are being made in this regard.

This is a common problem for many products in China: when the market is good, there’s a rush to build new facilities or expand existing ones. After years of development in soda ash technology, there is little room left for further improvement in its underlying technologies. I used to think about the combination of processes for different products, as well as the principles of optimizing the processes in calcium carbide and acetylene plants alongside soda ash plants (producing soda ash using mirabilite as raw material).

I would like to ask, what is the current production cost of soda ash? Based on the double-alkali method, what is the approximate production cost?
The production cost of synthetic alkali is about 1,300 yuan.
Introduce new technologies and bundle new products
So, can it be understood that the product sold on 1688 at over 1,100 yuan per ton is heavily adulterated?
If production costs are high, then switch to trading; there are always people with lower costs than you
