Features: This book consists of two parts: Soda Ash and Caustic Soda. It separately explains the basic principles, main production methods, process calculations, process flows, and main equipment for producing soda ash and caustic soda, while also introducing relevant new processes and new equipment. The soda ash section describes the process of producing soda ash by the ammonia-soda process and the joint-alkali process, as well as the manufacturing method of heavy soda ash. The caustic soda section introduces the production methods of caustic soda through electrolysis (diaphragm process, ion exchange membrane process), and also provides an overview of the production processes of several common inorganic chlorine products such as liquid chlorine, hydrogen chloride, hydrochloric acid, and hypochlorites. The book uses legal metrological units except for the specialized units of the soda ash industry. This book serves as a teaching material for the inorganic process major in chemical industry secondary vocational schools, and can also be referenced by relevant technical personnel. Additionally, it can be used as a reference for employee training and chemical industry technical schools.
