Study Notes
Solvay Process
- The purpose of adding ammonia in the Solvay process is to react with carbon dioxide to form ammonium bicarbonate, which then reacts with sodium chloride to produce sodium bicarbonate and ammonium chloride.
- The ammonia recovery tower in the Solvay process recovers ammonia from the solution containing ammonium chloride, allowing for its reuse in the process.
- The primary product obtained from the Solvay process is sodium bicarbonate (baking soda).
