General description
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is an inorganic compound also known as soda ash. It is used in flue gas desulfurization, and in detergent formulations. It is a stronger alkali used as a softening agent in laundry detergents.
Application
Sodium carbonate can be used:
- A sintering aid with the ZnO (zinc oxide) for the preparation of BaCe0.5Zr0.3Y0.2O3−δ based composite electrolyte material by solid-state reaction.
- A co-precipitating agent for the synthesis of stable iron oxide nanoparticles from a stoichiometric combination of Fe(II) and Fe(III) salts.
- A catalyst for the etherification of glycerol to polyglycerols.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Buffer component, may be used for the removal of peripheral membrane proteins.
