CAUSTIC SODA FROM TRONA
[CODE NO. 3039]
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound. It is a white solid and highly caustic metallic base and alkali of sodium which is available in pellets, flakes, granules, and as prepared solutions at different concentrations. Sodium hydroxide forms an approximately 50% (by mass) saturated solution with water.
Sodium hydroxide is soluble in water, ethanol and methanol. This alkali is deliquescent and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide in air.
Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries, mostly as a strong chemical base in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents and as a drain cleaner.
Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is an important industrial chemical product produced on a tonnage basis in both solid and liquid form. It is deliquescent, absorbing water vapour and carbon dioxide from the air. It is also extremely corrosive and should be handled with great care. Adequate protection from body with the solid form or concentrated solutions should be provided. It is also a fire hazard compound as it heats spontaneously and may ignite combustible materials that are nearby.
Natural deposits containing sodium carbonate are scattered through out the world. The most abundant and useful form of sodium carbonate are these deposits as called trona.
A sodium carbonate deposit is, normally, a massive brown matrix of trona containing other alkaline minerals, as well as shales.
