The production of soda ash involves the use of salt solutions, which require purification to ensure high-quality end products. This article explores the application of physicochemical methods in the purification process, focusing on their role in removing impurities such as calcium, magnesium, and other ions that can hinder production efficiency. By employing techniques such as sedimentation, filtration, and chemical precipitation, physicochemical methods significantly improve the purity of the salt solution. This leads to enhanced production efficiency, reduced costs, and minimized environmental impact. The article also highlights the challenges and advancements in incorporating these methods into existing production systems, stressing their importance in industrial applications.
