animation of soda ash process

This process is the most popularly used method. As Ernest Solvay, the Belgian chemical engineer, devised it in 1864 it is known as Solvay process..

Molten sodium hydroxide (caustic soda, NaOH) is electrolyzed using an iron cathode and nickel anode. A nickel wire gauze cylinder prevents the electrodes from touching each other. On passing electric current through the melt, sodium is liberated at the cathode and oxygen at the anode. Th..

This process gives soda of much higher purity (99.5%). It is less expensive as the raw materials are cheap and CO 2 and NH 3 are recovered to be used again. Calcium chloride is the only waste is the solution and so no pollution problems. Formation of sodium bicarbon..

Nutrition can be defined as the process by which an organism obtains food which is used to provide energy and materials for its life sustaining activitie..

In order to survive, all living organisms require food. Animals cannot synthesize their own food. They have to depend on ready made food. They obtain food either directly from plants (by eating them) or indirectly (by eating other herbivores). The nutrition can be defined as the pro..

Summary - Respiration is defined as the catabolic biochemical process during which organic compounds break down in order to release energy. The organic compounds that are broken down are called the substrates. Glucose is the most common substrate. The general equation for respiration ..

Conclusion - Respiration is an important process in nature. It is a process by which the solar energy trapped by the plants in the food can be utilised. The organic compounds are broken down to release energy. This energy is in the form of ATP molecules and is made available for..
