Soda ash, or sodium carbonate, is an inorganic compound that has different industrial applications. It is employed in glass manufacturing to lower the melting point of silica, which improves the clarity and quality of glass products. It is utilized in the detergent industry because it works as a pH regulator and water softener and improves the cleaning efficiency of detergents. It is used in water treatment to adjust pH levels that neutralize acidic water, making it suitable for drinking and other uses. It is used in the textile industry for treating fiber before dyeing to improve color stability. It works as a raw material in the production of chemicals like sodium bicarbonate and sodium silicate and is also used in aluminum refining to remove impurities. Soda ash is used to adjust pH levels in food products and improve texture in baked goods. It is used in pharmaceuticals to manufacture effervescent tablets and is used in household cleaning products.

Feedstock for Soda Ash

Soda Ash is manufactured by the Solvay process, and the major feedstock used in its synthesis are sodium chloride, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. The market dynamics of this first line of raw materials affect the production of soda ash.

The sourcing of sodium chloride as a raw material is affected by its price and availability. The major source of sodium chloride is seawater and brine, and its availability affects the procurement costs of sodium chloride. Its changing demand in industries like food, chemical, and other applications further affects sodium chloride price and availability. Sodium chloride is often shipped over long distances from production facilities, which also adds up to the sourcing costs. Following the environmental regulations and safety standards further affects sourcing decisions, as some applications require pure-quality sodium chloride. The presence of both large and smaller companies also affects pricing and availability.

Another first line of raw material in soda ash manufacturing is ammonia, and its procurement is affected by several factors. The major feedstock for ammonia production is natural gas, and changes in the availability and price of natural gas impact the sourcing of ammonia. Its demand in downstream industries like fertilizers drives its prices and availability, as the majority of fertilizers use ammonia as a raw material. Growing focus on reducing CO2 emissions from ammonia production pushes manufacturers to use renewable ammonia production methods that affect its costs. The costs related to the logistics of ammonia from production facilities to users also affect overall procurement costs, along with the usage of advanced technologies that further affect the industrial procurement of ammonia.

Sourcing carbon dioxide as a raw material depends on the availability of feedstock. It is sourced from industrial emissions, natural gas processing, and direct air capture, which affects its prices and availability. The usage of carbon dioxide as chemicals, fuels, and materials also affects its sourcing. Also, policies regarding carbon capture and utilization impact the market for carbon dioxide, along with growing interest in sustainable products across various industries, which further drives its procurement.
 

Market Drivers for Soda Ash

The market for soda ash is driven by several key factors. Its utilization for producing glass with improved properties boosts its demand in the glass industry. Its usage in the manufacturing of detergents and cleaning products as a water softener makes it a popular product in these industries. Its use in wastewater treatment, as well as a precursor in the production of several chemical compounds, fuels its demand in water treatment and the chemical industry. Advanced technology improves manufacturing efficiency, which further contributes to its market growth. Regionally, the Asia-Pacific market is growing because of fast industrialization, expanding construction activities, and increasing consumer goods production. North America’s constant growth is because of the stable glass production and high spending on healthcare.

CAPEX for soda ash involves costs of equipment like carbonation towers, ammonia recovery units, limestone kilns, brine preparation tanks, centrifuges and drying kilns. It also includes storage silos, boilers, cooling towers, and a piping system, along with pH control and monitoring systems and automation. OPEX includes repeating costs like costs of raw materials, utilities, labor costs, and regular maintenance of all machinery. Other costs like wastewater treatment, CO2 recycling or capture, and emissions control measures, along with logistics and transport, also come under OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report includes a detailed value chain evaluation for Soda Ash manufacturing and contains an in-depth production cost analysis of industrial Soda Ash manufacturing.

  • By Solvay Process: The feedstock for this process includes sodium chloride, ammonia, and carbon dioxide.

The production of soda ash involves a Solvay process. In this process, the brine (sodium chloride solution) is mixed with ammonia and carbon dioxide. This reaction leads to the precipitation of sodium bicarbonate. After that, sodium bicarbonate is filtered, dried, and heated. The heating leads to the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate into soda ash with water and carbon dioxide as byproducts. Finally, the product is cooled to get pure soda ash as the final product that is further processed or packaged.
 

Properties of Soda Ash

Soda ash has a molecular formula of Na2CO3 and a molecular weight of 105.99 g/mol. It is a white, odorless powder with a density of around 2.533 g/cm³. It is highly soluble in water and has a melting point of around 851°C. It forms carbonic acid and sodium hydroxide when dissolved in water that gives a pH in range 11 to 12. It decomposes into sodium oxide and carbon dioxide on heating. It is mildly alkaline in nature because it releases hydroxide ions during hydrolysis. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in glass manufacturing, detergent production, and water treatment processes.
