What is the difference between soda ash dense and soda ash light?

There are two types of industrial soda ash, soda ash dense and soda ash light, soda ash dense is sodium carbonate, but its density is greater, so heavier, soda ash dense and soda ash light are mainly different in physical properties, prices, production methods, performance and other aspects, In general, soda ash dense is used in industrial production. The main component of soda ash dense is still sodium carbonate. Now let’s learn about the differences between soda ash dense and soda ash light?

What is soda ash dense?

Soda ash is widely used in industry, and industrial soda ash can be divided into two categories: soda ash dense and soda ash light, so what is soda ash dense? In fact, soda ash dense is sodium carbonate, it is called soda ash dense, mainly because compared with soda ash light, its density is greater, so heavier, generally as one of the basic chemical raw materials, in chemical industry, metallurgy, national defense, textile, printing and dyeing, food, glass, enamel, medicine, paper and other fields are widely used.

What is the difference between soda ash dense and soda ash light?

Soda ash dense and soda ash light are both soda ash, and the main differences between them are:

1. Different physical properties

There is no difference between soda ash dense and soda ash light in chemical formula, the main difference is the difference in physical properties, such as loose density, particle size and shape and angle of rest, in general, density of soda ash light is 500-600kg/m3, density of soda ash dense is 1000-1200kg/m3.

2. Different prices

Generally, the price of soda ash dense is higher than the price of soda ash light.

3. Different production methods

Soda ash light is mainly produced by ammonia alkali method, raw salt and limestone as raw materials, through chemical synthesis to produce soda ash light, and then through solid phase hydration method to produce soda ash dense. Soda ash dense is mainly produced by natural alkali method, using trona as raw material, through evaporation or carbonization method to produce soda ash dense.

4. Different performance

Compared with soda ash light, particles of soda ash dense are larger, higher density, not easy to be damp caking, not easy to fly, the use of soda ash dense can reduce alkali dust flying, reduce raw material consumption, improve working conditions, improve product quality, reduce alkali powder erosion on refractory materials, extend the service life of the kiln.
