Trona (trisodium hydrogendicarbonate dihydrate, also sodium sesquicarbonate dihydrate, Na2CO3•NaHCO3•2H2O) is a non-marine evaporite mineral.[3][4] It is mined as the primary source of sodium carbonate in the United States, where it has replaced the Solvay process used in most of the rest of the world for sodium carbonate production.

Etymology

The word entered English by way of either Swedish ({{lang|sv|trona}}) or Spanish ({{lang|es|trona}}), with both possible sources having the same meaning as in English. Both of these derive from the Arabic trōn, which in turn derives from the Arabic natron, and Hebrew {{lang|he|נטרן|rtl=yes}} (natruna), which comes from ancient Greek {{lang|grc|νιτρον}} (nitron), derived ultimately from ancient Egyptian ntry (or nitry).

Natural deposits

Trona has also been found in magmatic environments.[11] Research has shown that trona can be formed by autometasomatic reactions of late-magmatic fluids or melts (or supercritical fluid-melt mixtures), with earlier crystallized rocks within the same plutonic complex, or by large-scale vapor unmixing in the very final stages of magmatism.[11]

Crystal structure

The crystal structure of trona was first determined by Brown et al. (1949).[12] The structure consists of units of 3 edge-sharing sodium polyhedra (a central octahedron flanked by septahedra), cross-linked by carbonate groups and hydrogen bonds. Bacon and Curry (1956)[13] refined the structure determination using two-dimensional single-crystal neutron diffraction, and suggested that the hydrogen atom in the symmetric (HC2O6)3− anion is disordered. The environment of the disordered H atom was later investigated by Choi and Mighell (1982)[14] at 300 K with three-dimensional single-crystal neutron diffraction: they concluded that the H atom is dynamically disordered between two equivalent sites, separated from one another by 0.211(9) Å. The dynamically disordered H atom was reinvestigated at low temperature by O'Bannon et al. 2014[15] and they concluded that it does not order at temperatures as low as 100K.

Uses of trona

  • Trona is a common source of soda ash, which is a significant economic commodity because of its applications in manufacturing glass, chemicals, paper, detergents, and textiles.
  • It is used to condition water.
  • It is used to remove sulfur from both flue gases and lignite coals.[16][17]
  • It is a product of carbon sequestration of flue gases.[18]
  • It is also used as a food additive.[19][20]
