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

📣 Applications open Do you want to be one of the 30 successful students that will spend a week #AtCERN? High-school students aged 16 from all around the world can apply to the 2025 CERN-Solvay student camp until 25 May. Make sure to complete at least three videos in our online physics course before you apply. Launched by CERN with Solvay Group, the #CERNSolvayEducation programme is designed for those who want to go beyond high-school physics and learn more about CERN, #science and #technology.

This #TeachingTuesday, our students from the CERN–Solvay student camp share their best memories and favourite activities from their week at CERN back in October 2023. Launched by CERN with the Solvay Group, the CERN–Solvay Education Programme is designed for high-school students 16 years old, who want to go beyond high-school physics and learn more about CERN, particle physics and technology. 🗓️ Two camps in 2024: June and October. ⏰ Applications open until 15 January 2024 (11:59 pm CET). 🔗 Re
