Solvay Process
- Chemical Process of high purity limestone and salt brine to produce soda ash and Calcium Chloride
- CaCO3 + 2NaCl —> Na2CO3 + CaCl2
- Produces a wide range of concentrations of both High Grade Liquid and Dry forms
HCl Process
- Reaction of HCl and Limestone (or other source of Calcium)
- Produces a wide range of concentrations of both High Grade Liguid and Dry forms
Natural Brine
- Often pumped out of underground naturally occuring sources
- Strength of liguid generally weaker and often inconsistent
- Contains impurities primarily in the form of other Chlorides
- Rarely find capability of producing Dry Forms
Strengthened Brine
- Natural Brine is processed generally with heat to increase concentration and consistency
Brine Purification
- Natural Brine is processed to remove impurities
Bi-Product
- Calcium Chloride can be produced as a bi-product or waste of a chemical process
