What are the differences between light soda ash and heavy soda ash in terms of composition, properties and actual use?

I would like to ask all the experts, what is the difference between light soda ash and heavy soda ash? In what directions are light and heavy soda ash mainly used in industrial applications?
Heavy ash is made by reprocessing light ash. The specific gravity of light ash is around 0.55KG/m3, and that of heavy ash is around 1.0. The current development trend of heavy ash is towards low salt, and is mainly used to make high-end glass.
Furthermore, heavy ash is more powerful than light ash, with a diameter of about 90% between 180 microns and 1.18 mm, so it raises less dust when used.
There is no difference in composition between light soda ash (light ash) and heavy soda ash (heavy ash). The main components are Na2CO3. The specific gravity of light ash pine is around 0.55, while that of heavy ash is basically between 1.0-1.2. Light ash is mostly used in the production of detergents. Heavy ash is favored by more and more users because of its relatively large particle size and is less likely to produce dust, such as high-end automotive glass. Heavy ash and low salinity is the current production trend.
