Na2CO3: Sodium carbonate
for Glass, paper, and detergent
React carbon dioxide to ammonia saturated solution of sodium chloride.
CO2 + NH3 + H2O + NaCl NaHCO3 + NH4Cl
Bake deposited sodium bicarbonate.
2NaHCO3 Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
Add calcium hydroxide to produced solution.
2NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2 2NH3 + CaCl2 + H2O
Ammonia and calcium chloride is recovered again for reusing them.
