What are the uses of sodium carbonate? 

Sodium carbonate (soda ash) is one of the important chemical raw materials, widely used in light industry, daily chemicals, building materials, chemical industry, food industry, metallurgy, textiles, petroleum, national defense, medicine and other fields.
Sodium carbonate (soda ash) is used as a raw material to manufacture other chemicals, detergents, and detergents. Sodium carbonate (soda ash, baking soda) is also used in photography and analysis.
The second is metallurgy, textiles, petroleum, national defense, medicine and other industries. Examples of the application of sodium carbonate (soda ash, baking soda):

1. The glass industry is the largest use of sodium carbonate (soda ash).

2. Sodium carbonate (soda ash) is used in the chemical and metallurgical industries. Sodium carbonate (soda ash) is used in the metallurgical industry as a fluxing agent and flotation agent, and as a desulfurizing agent in steel and antimony smelting.

3. In the food industry, the role and function of sodium carbonate (soda ash) is as a buffer, neutralizer, and dough improver, and can be used in baked goods and dough-based foods,
and can also be mixed with alkali water and added to flour products to increase elasticity and extensibility. Sodium carbonate (soda ash, baking soda) can also be used to produce monosodium glutamate and amino acids.

4. Sodium carbonate (soda ash) is used as a detergent for wool washing, bath salts, and medicine, and as an alkali agent in tanning.

5.Sodium carbonate (soda ash, soda) Used in pharmaceutical industry, as an acid antidote, osmotic laxative, printing and dyeing industry as a water softener. The tannery industry is used for degreasing raw skin, neutralizing chrome tanning leather and improving the alkalinity of chrome tanning liquor.

6. Sodium carbonate (soda ash, soda) is used for chemical and electrochemical oil removal, chemical copper plating, aluminum etching, electrolytic polishing of aluminum and alloy, chemical oxidation of aluminum, sealing after phosphating, rust prevention between processes, electrolytic removal of chromium coating and chromium oxide film, etc., and is also used in pre-copper plating, steel plating, steel alloy plating electrolyte.

7. The use of sodium carbonate (soda ash, soda) can also be used as a benchmark for calibration of acid in quantitative analysis. Determination of aluminum, sulfur, copper, lead and zinc. Urine and blood glucose were tested.

Is sodium carbonate (soda ash, baking soda) toxic? What are the harmful effects of sodium carbonate (soda ash, baking soda) on the human body?

Sodium carbonate (soda ash, baking soda) is not toxic.
It is divided into industrial sodium carbonate and food-grade sodium carbonate.
Industrial sodium carbonate has a stronger irritation and may be harmful to the body.
Small amounts of food-grade sodium carbonate are safe for human consumption. Food-grade sodium carbonate (soda ash, baking soda) is a food additive that can neutralize the acidity of food. Normal use is harmless to the body.
However, long-term and large-scale use may cause excessive stomach acid secretion. Industrial sodium carbonate (soda ash, baking soda) has weak irritation and corrosion properties.
Direct contact with the skin or eyes can cause burns. Inhaling its fumes or dust can cause respiratory irritation and conjunctivitis.
Long-term contact with sodium carbonate solutions can cause dermatitis, eczema, and skin sagging. Ingestion can cause mucous membrane ulceration, gastrointestinal burns, bleeding, or shock. Therefore, industrial sodium carbonate (soda ash, baking soda) may be harmful to the body.
