THE SOLVAY PROCESS The Solvay process, also known as the ammonia-soda process, is an industrial method for producing sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), commonly called soda ash. It utilizes readily available and inexpensive materials: salt brine (sodium chloride solution) and limestone (calcium carbonate). The process involves several steps, including the use of ammonia to facilitate the reaction between the salt and limestone. DETAILS OF THE PROCESS: 1. Purification of Brine: Salt brine is purified to

A CLEAR view for this #TeachingTuesday 😉 Today, join us on a journey to CLEAR, a multi-purpose test facility #AtCERN. A group of the students from the third CERN–Solvay camp followed the scientists using CLEAR to investigate the FLASH effect on zebrafish eggs. The students had the chance to help the scientists with sample preparation, follow the startup of the beam from the control room, and help operate the experimental beamline. The CERN–Solvay Education Programme, launched by CERN with the S
