Soda Ash Light is one of the most important basic industrial chemicals and the most widely used fixed alkali for manufacture of other alkali products, sodium salts, glass, soap, sodium silicated, detergent, bicarbonateds, pulp and paper, cellulose and rayon, iron and steel, aluminium, cleaning compounds, water softening chemicals, textiles and dyestuffs, drugs and many other materials. It also finds extensive use as an alkali for household purposed and as a washing power by laundries and washerman. Soda Ash Light is a white, odourless, uniform product, free from dirt and other foreign matter. Soda ash has a tendency to absorb moisture from the atmosphere. The moist soda ash then starts absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide. This phenomenon of absorption of moisture and carbon dioxide by soda ash is known as weathering. After weathering, soda ash is likely to contain appreciable moisture and sodium bicarbonate, but the total alkali content of the bag does not change. Soda ash has a tendency to cake when it comes in contact with moisture and, consequently, becomes lumpy.
