How do ammonia and sodium hydroxide react?
That's really helpful, thank you. Do you know if there are any downsides to using this process?
Well, one potential downside is that the Solvay process produces a large amount of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. However, there are efforts underway to reduce the carbon footprint of this process by using renewable energy sources and by capturing and storing the carbon dioxide that is generated.
