Applications
-
Manufacture of Soda Ash
CRS is thermally decomposed to produce high-quality soda ash, which may be further recrystallised for purer grades.
-
Manufacture of Sodium Silicate
CRS serves as a sodium source in sodium silicate production, offering an alternative to traditional soda ash.
-
Animal feed additive
Used as a rumen buffer, CRS improves feed conversion and absorption by livestock, optimising digestive enzyme activity.
-
Raw tobacco chewing
In some cultures, CRS is rolled in betel leaves with tobacco for chewing, offering unique cultural significance.
-
Mining applications
Applied in leach mining for uranium and bentonite, CRS serves as a replacement for sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate.
-
Metallurgy
CRS is used to preserve copper and copper alloys, and as a fluxing agent in lead smelting, enhancing metal processing.
-
Effluent treatment
CRS solution acts as a powerful alkalising agent, neutralising acidic effluents and maintaining environmental standards.
-
Water treatment
Soda ash is used in mining and smelting, especially in alumina production, playing a small but important role in the global metallurgical sector.
-
Caustic liquor manufacture
Used in water treatment to remove calcium and magnesium, CRS forms an insoluble precipitate, softening the water effectively.
-
Flue gas treatment
CRS adsorbs harmful gases like NOX and SOX and traps carbon dioxide, helping to treat flue gases to environmentally friendly standards.
-
Compost treatment
CRS helps maintain an ideal pH for microbial activity in compost, aiding in the breakdown of plant materials and enhancing decomposition.
-
Pit latrine treatment
CRS helps buffer the pH in pit latrines, ensuring optimal conditions for microbial decomposition and efficient waste breakdown.
