Solvay Process
Industrial process for the manufacture of sodium carbonate.
It is a multistage process in which carbon dioxide is generated from limestone and passed through brine saturated with ammonia. Sodium hydrogencarbonate is isolated and heated to yield sodium carbonate. All intermediate by-products are recycled so that the only ultimate by-product is calcium chloride.
