Sodium carbonate - a versatile
material
 |
This booklet presents
learning material based on the manufacture and uses of sodium carbonate made by
the Solvay (ammonia-soda) process. It is the result of a Learning Material
Workshop organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry in conjunction with The
Institute of Materials and The Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers.
The workshop was held at the Brunner Mond Company, Northwich,
Cheshire. |
A group of chemistry teachers spent
a day at Brunner Mond and were given a presentation by the company of various
aspects of the Solvay (ammonia-soda) process for the manufacture of sodium
carbonate and sodium hydrogencarbonate. This was followed by a tour of the
plant. The following day was spent brainstorming and drafting the material
which is presented here in edited form.
