Anhydrous soda

Sodium carbonate monohydrate crystals from the crystallizers are concentrated in hydroclones and dewatered on centrifuges to between 2 and 6% free moisture. This centrifuge cake is sent to dryers where the product is calcined 150°C to anhydrous soda ash, screened, and readied for shipment. Soda ash from this process typically has a bulk density between 0.99—1.04 g/mL with an average particle size of about 250 p.m. 

The curves in Fig. 15 show the different hydrated forms which are in equilibrium with the saturated solution at different temperatures. It will be seen that the dekahydrate is the stable hydrate only below 33°. In the following preparation, if barely enough water to form the dekahydrate were added to the anhydrous soda ash and the mixture heated to 100°, a complete solution would not be obtained because some monohydrate would separate. Enough water, therefore, is taken to hold all the monohydrate in solution at the boiling point. When this solution cools to below 33° it may become highly supersaturated with the dekahydrate unless a few crystal fragments of the dekahydrate are added. It occasionally happens that if no seed crystals are added the heptahydrate...

Only a single patent reports arylation of A-aminoazoles. 2-(t>-Nitrophe-nyUaminobenzotriazole was obtained on heating 2-aminobenzotriazole with o-nitrofluorobenzene in DMF in the presence of anhydrous soda (65USP3184471). An attempt to carry out such a reaction for I-amino-benzotriazole failed, probably because of the poor NH-acidity of this compound.

Processing of trona involves recrystallization to remove impurities and calcination to convert the bicarbonate portion to carbonate. There are two versions in commercial use. The older, or sesquicarbonate, process first hot-leaches the crushed ore to extract the mineral. This is followed by clarification, evaporation, and cooling. The refined trona is then calcined to form soda ash. The newer, or monohydrate, process first roasts the crushed ore to form a crude carbonate. This is dissolved and the solution evaporated to crystallize the monohydrate, Na2C03-H20. Mild calcination then yields the anhydrous soda ash.
