Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Sodium Hydroxide production from lime and sodium carbonate. The process examined is a conventional lime-soda process. In this process, calcium hydroxide is generated by treating lime (calcium oxide) with water. Then, calcium hydroxide reacts with soda ash (sodium carbonate) forming sodium hydroxide and Calcium Carbonate. Precipitated calcium carbonate, in solid form, and Sodium Hydroxide solution (50 wt%) are obtained as final products. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Hou, T.P., "Manufacture of Soda: With Special Reference to the Ammonia Process", 1942 Keywords: Hydrated Lime, Slaked Lime, Slake, Calcium Oxide, Lime-Soda Process
