IX.—Decomposition of sodium carbonate by fusion

Sodium carbonate revisited.

We present the structure of anhydrous sodium carbonate at room temperature (phase gamma) and 110 K (phase delta) based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The incommensurate phase gamma was determined almost 30 years ago in the harmonic approximation using one modulation wave and first-order satellites. In our work we use satellites up to fifth order and additional harmonic waves to model...

Germicidal Efficiency of Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Carbonate, and Trisodium Phosphate ^

In this paper the writers present results which they obtained, for the most part, in making a comparative study of disinfectants that, might be used by poultrymen, a fact which accounts for the choice of test organisms and various other details of the technic. Although, as the title implies, this work was done chiefly with the hydroxide, carbonate, and phosphate of sodium, the paper also report...

Sodium-carbonate co-substituted hydroxyapatite ceramics

Powders of sodium-carbonate co-substituted hydroxyapatite, having sodium content in the range of 0.25–1.5 wt.% with a 0.25 wt.% step, were prepared by a precipitation-solid state reaction route. Compacts of the powders were sintered in a CO2 flow (4 mL/min) at 1100 °C for 2 h. The sintered ceramics contained sodium and carbonate ions in the ranges of 0–1.5 wt.% and 1.3–6 wt.%, respectively, whi...

Efficacy of Sodium Carbonate and Calcium Carbonate in Stabilizing a Black Cotton Soil

The problem of damage to structures in expansive soils is world wide. These soils are very often referred as black cotton soils. The properties of black cotton soil may be improved to make the soil suitable for construction purposes. There are several techniques to improve the soil properties like sand cushions, CNS layer techniques, sand columns, stone columns, vibration techniques and by addi...
