Products
from the Tata Chemicals stable are widely used
in water-cleansing equipment and in anti-pollution
devices
Soda
ash
Being
an alkali, soda
ash can increase the pH value of water by
reducing its acidic content.
Light
soda ash is used to manufacture water-softening
chemicals. It also converts the bicarbonates in
hard water into precipitates and neutralises the
acids in water.
Soda
ash is widely used in the treatment of aqueous
and gaseous emissions. In the treatment of wastewater
and potable water, it is used both to neutralise
and buffer the water and to assist in the control
of the pH.
Sodium
bicarbonate
Sodium bicarbonate, by virtue of its inert
nature, is used to coat combustible areas to douse
fires. Fire extinguishers contain a mixture of
sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate.
TCL manufactures sodium bicarbonate (technical
and refined) which, on further processing, are
used in the production and refilling of fire-extinguishing
chemicals, both handheld (used in workplaces and
homes) and bigger models (used in factories).
