Production of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and sodium bicarbonate

Current

(1)

The production of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and sodium bicarbonate is the chemical and physical transformation of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), sodium chloride (salt (NaCl)), ammonia (NH₃) and carbon bearing materials (such as coke) into 1 or more of the following:

(a)

light sodium carbonate (light soda ash (Na₂CO₃)) which has a concentration of sodium carbonate (soda ash (Na₂CO₃)) equal to or greater than 98.0%;

(b)

dense sodium carbonate (dense soda ash (Na₂CO₃)) which has a concentration of sodium carbonate (soda ash (Na₂CO₃)) equal to or greater than 97.5%;

(c)

refined sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) which has a concentration of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) equal to or greater than 95.0%.

(2)

The production of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and sodium bicarbonate is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade exposed activity.
