什麼是純鹼?
純鹼,又稱碳酸鈉,是指白色、無水、粉狀或顆粒狀物質。它是一種鹼性化學品,由天然鹼、天然存在的含碳酸鈉鹽水或含鹽土壤中生長的植物(如鹽草、海帶和海藻)的木灰製成。它是高度純化的,並且有多種等級可供選擇,主要區別在於堆積密度。它能有效、經濟、有益地去除各種衣物材料上的酒精和油漬。純鹼在高溫下與水蒸氣反應生成氫氧化鈉和二氧化碳(CO2)。它可以輕鬆去除或澄清多種有色金屬和黑色金屬礦石中的磷酸鹽和硫。它還可以降低二氧化矽的熔點並用於製造玻璃。它有助於提高湖泊的鹼度,維持水中氫的電位(pH),並具有消毒特性。除此之外,它還有助於降低發電廠排放物的酸度。它也是烹飪中氫氧化鈉的合適替代品,特別是鹼液捲和德國椒鹽捲餅。因此,純鹼廣泛應用於世界各地的汽車、建築、製造、造紙和紙漿、肥皂和洗滌劑產業。
COVID-19大流行的疫情為純鹼產業帶來了嚴重問題,並為全球許多國家帶來了前所未有的挑戰。在疫情大流行的最初幾個月裡,生產工廠的生產速度減慢或暫時關閉。由於原料缺乏、勞動力短缺和庫存不足,供應鏈中斷。除此之外,各國管理機構對跨境交易實施的嚴格規則和限制導致純鹼整體需求和市場受到顯著負面影響。物流提供者無法運輸貨物,特別是跨境運輸。由於貨物流通受限、道路通行受限以及勞動力短缺,純鹼行業的製造商面臨巨大損失。除此之外,貨物進出口也受到了新型冠狀病毒肺炎(COVID-19)大流行的嚴重影響。港口和邊境限制對貿易活動產生了不利影響,從而影響了純鹼產業。不過,疫情過後,多國政府部門正為進出口順利運作提供後勤保障,情況持續向好。因此,由於全球製造工廠的開設,純鹼產業預計在未來幾年將會成長。
目前,建築和汽車行業擴大使用純鹼來製造玻璃,這是推動市場成長的關鍵因素之一。此外,廢水處理中對純鹼的需求不斷成長,以保持衛生和去除水中的雜質,這為行業投資者提供了利潤豐厚的成長機會。除此之外,擴大使用純鹼來製造染料、著色劑和肥料,這提供了一個積極的市場前景。除此之外,對有助於減少衣服污漬的廉價且有效的清潔解決方案的需求也在增加。再加上擴大採用純鹼來增加游泳池的鹼度並確保水的氫(pH)平衡的適當潛力,正在推動市場的成長。除此之外,眾多最終用途產業對純鹼生產多種產品的需求不斷成長,對市場產生了正面影響。此外,全球範圍內擴大使用純鹼來製造密封劑和膠水,這也支持了市場的成長。

What is Soda ash?
Soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate, refers to a white, anhydrous, powdered, or granular substance. It is an alkali chemical that is manufactured from mineral trona, naturally occurring sodium carbonate-bearing brines, or wood ashes of plants grown in salt-bearing soils, such as saltwort, kelp, and seaweed. It is highly purified and widely available in numerous grades that differ primarily in bulk density. It is effective, economical, and beneficial in removing alcohol and grease stains from various clothing materials. Soda ash reacts with water vapor to form sodium hydroxide and carbon dioxide (CO2) at a high temperature. It easily removes or de-clarifies phosphates and sulfurs from several non-ferrous and ferrous ores. It also decreases the melting point of silica and is used to manufacture glass. It assists in enhancing the alkalinity of lakes, maintaining the potential of hydrogen (pH) in water, and has disinfectant properties. Besides this, it aids in lowering the acidity of emissions that are generated from a power plant. It is also a suitable alternative to sodium hydroxide in cooking for lying, particularly with lye rolls and German pretzels. As a result, soda ash is widely employed in the automotive, construction, manufacturing, paper and pulp, and soap and detergents industries around the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has caused a severe problem for the soda ash industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries worldwide. The production plants were slowed down or temporarily shut down during the initial months of the widespread pandemic. There was a supply chain disruption on account of the unavailability of raw materials, shortage of labor, and low stocks. In addition to this, the stringent rules and restrictions imposed by the governing agencies of various countries on the cross-border exchange led to a significant negative impact on the overall demand and market of soda ash. Logistics providers were unable to transport goods, particularly across borders. The manufacturers in the soda ash industry faced huge losses due to the restriction on the movement of goods, limitations on road movement, and labor shortages. Apart from this, exports and imports of goods were highly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The port and border restrictions adversely affected trade activities, which has impacted the soda ash industry. However, post-pandemic governing agencies of several countries are providing logistical support for the smooth functioning of exports and imports, and the situation has been continuously improving. Thus, the soda ash industry is expected to rise in the coming years due to the opening of manufacturing units worldwide.
At present, the increasing utilization of soda ash in the construction and automotive industries for manufacturing glass represents one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the market. Moreover, the rising demand for soda ash in wastewater treatment to maintain hygiene and remove impurities from water is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Apart from this, the growing utilization of soda ash for manufacturing dyes, coloring agents, and fertilizers is offering a positive market outlook. In addition to this, there is a rise in the demand for inexpensive and effective cleaning solutions that assist in decreasing stains from clothes. This, coupled with the increasing adoption of soda ash to increase the alkalinity in swimming pools and ensure the proper potential of hydrogen (pH) balance of the water, is propelling the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing demand for soda ash to produce several products in numerous end-use industries is positively influencing the market. Additionally, the increasing employment of soda ash to manufacture sealants and glues across the globe is supporting the growth of the market.
