General description

Sodium carbonate is also termed as soda ash. Solvay process uses sodium chloride and limestone to produce sodium carbonate.

Application

Sodium carbonate has been used as a component in BG11 liquid media for cyanobacterial growth and in G625 growth medium for Anabaena flos-aquae. It has also been used to impregnate mixed-cellulose ester (MCE) filter.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sodium carbonate helps to improve the pretreatment of rice straw and develops delignification process.
Buffer component, may be used for the removal of peripheral membrane proteins.
