Sodium carbonate, also known as anhydrous sodium carbonate, is also known as alkali surface, alkali powder and alkali material. The content of soda is over 98%. Sodium carbonate is an important raw material for glass, paper making, soap, detergent, textile, leather and other industries. The chemical formula of soda ash is Na2CO3.

What is soda ash and how to preserve it better

Anhydrous soda ash is a white powder with a specific gravity of 2.532 and a melting point of 851 degrees Celsius. Soda soda has astringent taste, can dissolve in water, is alkaline, and reacts with acid to neutralize.

How to keep soda ash better

Sodium carbonate is easy to absorb moisture, agglomerate, yellowish and metamorphose, and can absorb carbon dioxide from moist air to form sodium bicarbonate.

1. Soda-soda is best stored in a special store in a dry environment. Soda-soda can not be stored and transported with acids, salt, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, etc.

2. Soda-soda is corrosive to some extent, so it can not be stored in close proximity to other commodities, especially metal commodities, and can not be stored together with soda-soda. If any commodity has been contaminated with soda ash, then we should pay attention to cleaning in time to prevent rust.

3. If it is in the Meiyu season every year, attention should be paid to controlling the temperature and humidity of soda warehouse to prevent excessive moisture absorption and agglomeration, affecting the quality.

4. Attention should be paid to the storage time of soda ash, which should not be too long, usually no longer than 6 months.
