The use of sodium carbonate is in the manufacturing of glass such as flat glass, bottle glass, optical glass, and high-end appliances. It can be used to produce soap, hard water softening, petroleum and oil refining, sulfur and phosphorus removal in metallurgical industry, mineral processing, as well as the manufacturing of metals such as copper, lead, nickel, tin, uranium, aluminum, sodium salts, metal carbonates, bleaching agents, fillers, detergents, catalysts, and dyes in the chemical industry through the reaction of fatty acids and soda ash.

The ceramic industry also uses soda ash sodium carbonate solution to produce refractory materials and glazes, which is alkaline and has a certain antibacterial effect. In addition, the laboratory also uses 10% sodium carbonate washing solution for antibacterial purposes. Especially in food related experiments, they are often used. More literature on antibacterial materials indicates that they are percarbonates. But detoxification should be dealt with, detoxification should be dealt with a certain poison.

Sodium carbonate, as a salt, can release the action of a certain acid with its corresponding weak acid ion, but it seems that no single detoxification has been seen. For example, if there is something like phosphoric acid next, and it is generally acute, sodium carbonate/sodium bicarbonate solution can be added to potassium permanganate solution to induce vomiting.
