mm, look at the beautiful natural process from which delicate wisps of bicarbonate soda fairy magick are graced unto petal leaf flowers before being blushed into the hearts of wondrous souls the world over..
Making soda ash
1 Soda ash can be manufactured chemically using the Solvay process, or it can be made from trona ore. If trona ore is used, it must first be mined. After it has been brought to the surface, the trona ore is transported to a variety of processing plants. There, the ore is refined into a slurry of sodium sesquicarbonate, an intermediate soda ash product that actually contains both soda ash (sodium carbonate) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
Making baking soda
2 Next, the intermediate soda ash solution is put into a centrifuge, which separates the liquid from the crystals. The crystals are then dissolved in a bicarbonate solution (a soda ash solution made by the manufacturer) in a rotary dissolver, thereby becoming a saturated solution. This solution is filtered to remove any non-soluble materials and is then pumped through a feed tank to the top of a carbonating tower.
3 Purified carbon dioxide is introduced into the bottom of the tower and held under pressure. As the saturated sodium solution moves through the tower, it cools and reacts with the carbon dioxide to form sodium bicarbonate crystals. These crystals are collected at the bottom of the tower and transferred to another centrifuge, where excess solution (filtrate) is filtered out. The crystals are then washed in a bicarbonate solution, forming a cake-like substance ready for drying. The filtrate that is removed from the centrifuge is recycled to the rotary dissolver, where it is used to saturate more intermediate soda ash crystals.
4 The washed filter cake is then dried on either a continuous belt conveyor or in a vertical tube drier called a flash dryer. The theoretical yield from the process, according to the Church & Dwight Company, is between 90 and 95 percent, and the baking soda manufactured is more than 99 percent pure..
99% Pure! Bliss! Gaily-frollicking happiness elves!
I wonder what's in that remaining 1%?
Gaia's dreams?
- Christ you sound like a cockset
- You're like a kid who can't discuss properly but instead has to desperately ridicule to make himself feel superior.set
- Don't gedditset
- haha, I just meant it as a tongue-in-cheek response to your absolutist opinionation.
detritus - Sorry, I'll not question you in future - clearly you KNOW everything with your FACTs, etc.detritus
- I wonder which is cheaper/more nature-y — a dose of aspirin, or bicarb?detritus
- Clearly you're one of those that doesn't like people who are sure of themselves and their opinions.set
- My grandad had bicarbonate of soda every day for 70 years and lived to 102set
- You think it's a good philosophy to be 'sure' of things you can't possibly be sure of? At least I couch my BS!detritus
- All I said was that it was worth researching. You're the only one ridiculing the other's opinion. =)set
- and come on man if you can't understand how someone can profit from aspirin then we may as well end our discussion hereset
- Please, explain it to me then. Clearly I'm missing some keen insight into the BigPharma Global Reptile conspiracy..detritus
- ..for a drug that costs fuck all to make and is so genericised that there's no way production can be controlled for one entity's singular benefitdetritus
- singular benefit.
Please, explain it to me.
I'm obviously a stupid.detritus - haha, ffs, of all the things to typo. "Yes, I am a stupid".detritus
- Also, please show me media Corporations that also own BigPharma (or are you conflating advertising revenue complicity and ownership, perhaps?)detritus
- revenue complicity and ownership, perhaps?)detritus
- Also, please explain to me Queen Mary's Hospital's rationale for their involvement in this conspiracy mess.detritus
- ..because clearly they're in on it too, yeah? That press release was just the tip of the media mind rape wedge!detritus
- Dunno, to me set, there're plenty of reasons for ^this story that have nothing to do with Nasty People Conspiracy.detritus
- it''s good to question.
But it's also a good idea to question the questioning...detritus - I'll explain over ten years of research in a twenty word note on qbn shall I. You got one thing right, you are a stupid. =)set
- but absolutely the article may have nothing at all to do with anything other than the single bit of research it talks aboutset
- I said 'to me it sounds' and I very well may be completely incorrect.set
- If you really want to understand, which I'm not sure you do, do some research of the the Rothschild and Rockefeller families.set
- When you find out they own the pharmaceutical corporations, the NHS, the government and the media...set
- Well, I guess I was reacting to the tone you set with "FACT is, BIGPHARMA EVIL MINDCONTROL CUNTS", etcdetritus
- you come back and tell me you think they'd allow a proper cure for cancer to be spread by the media.set
- That part is a fact.set
- ..which is the tone you always have whenever this sort of topic comes up. "Modern world, Evil! Set knows best!"detritus
- ***do some research on the Rothschild and Rockefeller families.set
- "Modern world, Evil! Set knows best!"
Spot on.set - Do you even know what 'Cancer' is, set? I mean, really, truly know what it actually IS?
detritus - It's a fungus.set
- I don't know why we still do this haha, we'll never solve our differences.set
- Me cat, you dog.set
- I'm fond of bothset
- Though slightly more one than the other.
=Dset - *sips unicorn cumset
