Sodium carbonate, known as soda ash, is the chief raw material in the glass and detergent industries. It is mainly produced by the Solvay-ammonia process. In this process, NaCl, CaCO₃, NH₃, and water are used as raw materials. In the U.S.A., Na₂CO₃ is isolated from the naturally occurring mineral "Trona," which has the chemical formula Na₂CO₃·NaHCO₃·2H₂O.
