Application

Sodium carbonate decahydrate, also known as sal soda or washing soda (Na2CO3.10H2O), is a versatile inorganic salt with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. This substance appears as a translucent, efflorescent crystalline solid and is utilized in the preparation of eutectic hydrate salts for thermal energy storage. The compound can also be used in chemical heat pumps to provide cold temperatures through dehydration. In various industries, such as glass, paper making, textiles, and leather, sodium carbonate decahydrate serves as a crucial raw material. Additionally, it functions as a precipitation agent, analytical reagent in laboratories, and a strong base and powerful electrolyte in metal refining and cement production. In the pharmaceutical realm, it acts as an alkalizing agent in numerous formulations, including injectable, ophthalmic, oral, and rectal medications. Furthermore, it is a key component in effervescent tablets and granules, where it combines with acids to produce carbon dioxide gas upon contact with water, aiding in product disintegration. The compound is also utilized as an oral antacid and has applications in soap and detergent manufacturing, as well as food processing and preservation.
