Soda Ash Manufacturing
A soda ash manufacturing facility is any facility that produces soda ash by calcining trona, calcining sodium sesquicarbonate, or by using a liquid alkaline feedstock process that directly produces carbon dioxide (CO2). In the context of the soda ash manufacturing sector, "calcining" means the thermal/chemical conversion of the bicarbonate ...
AP-42, CH 8.12: Sodium Carbonate
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), commonly referred to as soda ash, is one of the largest-volume mineral products in the U. S., with 1991 production of over 9 million megagrams (Mg) (10.2 million tons). Over 85 percent of this soda ash originates in Wyoming, with the remainder coming from Searles Valley, California.
