什么是纯碱?
纯碱,又称碳酸钠,是指白色、无水、粉状或颗粒状物质。它是一种碱性化学品,由天然碱、天然存在的含碳酸钠盐水或含盐土壤中生长的植物(如盐草、海带和海藻)的木灰製成。它是高度纯化的,并且有多种等级可供选择,主要区别在于堆积密度。它能有效、经济、有益地去除各种衣物材料上的酒精和油渍。纯碱在高温下与水蒸气反应生成氢氧化钠和二氧化碳(CO2)。它可以轻鬆去除或澄清多种有色金属和黑色金属矿石中的磷酸盐和硫。它还可以降低二氧化硅的熔点并用于製造玻璃。它有助于提高湖泊的碱度,维持水中氢的电位(pH),并具有消毒特性。除此之外,它还有助于降低发电厂排放物的酸度。它也是烹饪中氢氧化钠的合适替代品,特别是碱液捲和德国椒盐捲饼。因此,纯碱广泛应用于世界各地的汽车、建筑、製造、造纸和纸浆、肥皂和洗涤剂产业。
COVID-19大流行的疫情为纯碱产业带来了严重问题,并为全球许多国家带来了前所未有的挑战。在疫情大流行的最初几个月里,生产工厂的生产速度减慢或暂时关闭。由于原材料缺乏、劳动力短缺和库存不足,供应链中断。除此之外,各国管理机构对跨境交易实施的严格规则和限制导致纯碱整体需求和市场受到显着负面影响。物流提供者无法运输货物,特别是跨境运输。由于货物流通受限、道路通行受限以及劳动力短缺,纯碱行业的製造商面临巨大损失。除此之外,货物进出口也受到了新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)大流行的严重影响。港口和边境限制对贸易活动产生了不利影响,从而影响了纯碱产业。不过,疫情过后,多国政府部门正为进出口顺利运作提供后勤保障,情况持续向好。因此,由于全球製造工厂的开设,纯碱产业预计在未来几年将会成长。
目前,建筑和汽车行业越来越多地使用纯碱来製造玻璃,这是推动市场成长的关键因素之一。此外,废水处理中对纯碱的需求不断增长,以保持卫生和去除水中的杂质,这为行业投资者提供了利润丰厚的成长机会。除此之外,越来越多地使用纯碱来製造染料、着色剂和肥料,这提供了一个积极的市场前景。除此之外,对有助于减少衣服污渍的廉价且有效的清洁解决方案的需求也在增加。再加上越来越多地采用纯碱来增加游泳池的碱度并确保水的氢(pH)平衡的适当潜力,正在推动市场的成长。除此之外,众多最终用途产业对纯碱生产多种产品的需求不断增长,对市场产生了正面影响。此外,全球范围内越来越多地使用纯碱来製造密封剂和胶水,这也支持了市场的成长。

What is Soda ash?
Soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate, refers to a white, anhydrous, powdered, or granular substance. It is an alkali chemical that is manufactured from mineral trona, naturally occurring sodium carbonate-bearing brines, or wood ashes of plants grown in salt-bearing soils, such as saltwort, kelp, and seaweed. It is highly purified and widely available in numerous grades that differ primarily in bulk density. It is effective, economical, and beneficial in removing alcohol and grease stains from various clothing materials. Soda ash reacts with water vapor to form sodium hydroxide and carbon dioxide (CO2) at a high temperature. It easily removes or de-clarifies phosphates and sulfurs from several non-ferrous and ferrous ores. It also decreases the melting point of silica and is used to manufacture glass. It assists in enhancing the alkalinity of lakes, maintaining the potential of hydrogen (pH) in water, and has disinfectant properties. Besides this, it aids in lowering the acidity of emissions that are generated from a power plant. It is also a suitable alternative to sodium hydroxide in cooking for lying, particularly with lye rolls and German pretzels. As a result, soda ash is widely employed in the automotive, construction, manufacturing, paper and pulp, and soap and detergents industries around the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has caused a severe problem for the soda ash industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries worldwide. The production plants were slowed down or temporarily shut down during the initial months of the widespread pandemic. There was a supply chain disruption on account of the unavailability of raw materials, shortage of labor, and low stocks. In addition to this, the stringent rules and restrictions imposed by the governing agencies of various countries on the cross-border exchange led to a significant negative impact on the overall demand and market of soda ash. Logistics providers were unable to transport goods, particularly across borders. The manufacturers in the soda ash industry faced huge losses due to the restriction on the movement of goods, limitations on road movement, and labor shortages. Apart from this, exports and imports of goods were highly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The port and border restrictions adversely affected trade activities, which has impacted the soda ash industry. However, post-pandemic governing agencies of several countries are providing logistical support for the smooth functioning of exports and imports, and the situation has been continuously improving. Thus, the soda ash industry is expected to rise in the coming years due to the opening of manufacturing units worldwide.
At present, the increasing utilization of soda ash in the construction and automotive industries for manufacturing glass represents one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the market. Moreover, the rising demand for soda ash in wastewater treatment to maintain hygiene and remove impurities from water is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Apart from this, the growing utilization of soda ash for manufacturing dyes, coloring agents, and fertilizers is offering a positive market outlook. In addition to this, there is a rise in the demand for inexpensive and effective cleaning solutions that assist in decreasing stains from clothes. This, coupled with the increasing adoption of soda ash to increase the alkalinity in swimming pools and ensure the proper potential of hydrogen (pH) balance of the water, is propelling the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing demand for soda ash to produce several products in numerous end-use industries is positively influencing the market. Additionally, the increasing employment of soda ash to manufacture sealants and glues across the globe is supporting the growth of the market.
