Global Soda Ash Market Is Estimated To Witness High Growth Owing To Growing Demand For Glass Manufacturing And Rising Use In Metallurgy
Soda Ash Market Overview: Sodium carbonate has been used for over 5,000 years. The ancient Egyptians extracted it from the ashes of various plants to make glass ornaments and vessels. It was also used in the Middle Ages to make bread and other foods. Soda Ash is produced from either natural or synthetic sources. The natural source is the mineral trona, which can be mined or recovered from lake brines. Trona deposits are found in a limited number of locations worldwide. Sodium carbonate can be produced from trona using one of four processes – the Leblanc process, the Dual-process, the Solvay process or the electrolytic process. This product is the preferred neutralizing agent for coal mining and it is also effective in treating acid mine drainage flows. It has a higher reactivity than limestone, which makes it more effective at neutralizing corrosive solutions. The Global Soda Ash Market Size Is Estimated To Be Valued At US$ 11000.00 Million In 2021 And Is Expected To Exhibit A
