Significant quantities of calcium chloride are produced in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Japan. Historically calcium chloride was a by-product of sodium carbonate (soda ash) production. The sole U.S. producer via this route closed operation in the 1980s and consoHdated production in Canada. 

Sepa.ra.tlon, Sodium carbonate (soda ash) is recovered from a brine by first contacting the brine with carbon dioxide to form sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate has a lower solubiUty than sodium carbonate, and it can be readily crystallized. The primary function of crystallization in this process is separation a high percentage of sodium bicarbonate is soHdified in a form that makes subsequent separation of the crystals from the mother hquor economical. With the available pressure drop across filters that separate Hquid and soHd, the capacity of the process is determined by the rate at which hquor flows through the filter cake. That rate is set by the crystal size distribution produced in the crystallizer. 

After being removed from the nickel bath, the ware is dipped into a hot or cold water rinse, quickly removed, and then transferred to a neutralizing bath where the last traces of acid are removed. Neutralizing using a solution of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and borax is common. 

In those days, there were no oil refineries, nor bottlers of carbonated soda, nor sulfuric acid plants. There was only one liquid to consider, and move in large quantities. .. fresh water from the mountains. With only one liquid under consideration, fresh water, and no. sophisticated instrumentation, they measured the water s force, or pressure, in terms of elevation. It is for this reason that today all over the world, pump manufacturers u.se the term Head measured in meters or feet of elevation to express pre.ssure or force. The term flow expresses volume over time, such as gallons per minute, or cubic meters per second.

Where hardness removal is required, the simplest pretreatment method for smaller, lower pressure boiler plants (below 200-300 psig) is to use a cation-exchange softener. This removes the calcium and magnesium at source and converts the bulk of temporary hardness salts into sodium bicarbonate (NaHC03), which decomposes to form sodium carbonate (soda ash) but does not scale under normal boiler operating conditions. 

In addition to producing fertilizers, phosphoric acid is used to add the familiar tart flavor to carbonated sodas, beer, some jellies and jams, and some types of cheese. Because it dissolves iron...

When mixed with sodium carbonate (soda ash) and calcium carbonate (powdered limestone) and heated until the mixture melts, silica (sand) forms glass when cooled. Glass of all types has near limitless uses. One example is Pyrex, which is a special heat-resistant glass that is manufactured by adding boron oxide to the standard mixture of silica, soda ash, and limestone. Special glass used to make eyewear adds potassium oxide to the above standard mixture. 

Seawater is an example of a liquid solution with water as solvent because the dissolved sodium chloride, calcium carbonate, magnesium bromide, and other solutes are of varying concentrations. Carbonated soda-water is another liquid solution, but in this case, the solute is a gas—carbon dioxide. 

The next major raw material for which we discuss the derived chemicals is calcium carbonate, common limestone. It is the source of some carbon dioxide, but, more importantly, it is used to make lime (calcium oxide) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). Limestone, together with salt and ammonia, are the ingredients for the Solvay manufacture of sodium carbonate, soda ash. Soda ash is also mined directly from trona ore. The Solvay process manufactures calcium chloride as an important by-product. Soda ash in turn is combined with sand to produce sodium silicates to complete the chemicals in the top 50 that are derived from limestone. Since lime is the highest-ranking derivative of limestone in terms of total amount produced, we discuss it first. Refer to Fig. 2.1, Chapter 2, Section 1, for a diagram of limestone derivatives. 

Calcium chloride is obtained as a by-product in the manufacture of sodium carbonate (soda ash) by ammonia-soda (Solvay) process. The process involves the reaction of sodium chloride with calcium carbonate and ammonia. Calcium chloride is currently produced in bulk amounts by evaporation of natural underground brines. In the laboratory, calcium chloride can be prepared by treating bmestone with hydrochloric acid followed by evaporation of solution to obtain crystals. The crystals are dehydrated to obtain anhydrous salt. Calcium oxide or hydroxide may be used instead of carbonate. 

To remove the excess sulfur, the precipitate is dissolved by boiling with a solution of 60 g. of anhydrous sodium carbonate (soda ash) in 2 1. of water, and the mixture is filtered while hot. It is divided into five equal parts (Note 3) and the dithiosalicylic acid reprecipitated as before with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The solid is filtered, the cake being sucked as dry as possible. 

Excess of Carbonate. — Soda-lime, when treated with dilute sulphuric acid, should not effervesce strongly. 

The American Cancer Society states that there does not seem to be any relationship between caffeine and cancer. However, other adverse effects for women remain a concern, such as the possibility that large amounts of caffeine could contribute to osteoporosis (thinned and fragile bones), particularly in elderly women. As caffeine is a diuretic, which increases loss of fluids and electrolytes in the urine, it could rob the body of calcium. Nevertheless, a study published in 2001 concluded that the net effect of carbonated sodas on the body s calcium is negligible, and that the loss of calcium in urine due to carbonated drinks is too small to affect calcium balance. 

Sodium carbonate (soda ash) was manufactured by the LeBlanc process (discovered in 1773) for many years in Europe. In this process, salt cake (sodium sulfate) reacts with limestone to give sodium carbonate and a side product, gypsum (calcium sulfate).
