  6. There are Many Paths to Soda Ash Production. Many Processes in Use Today Would Eliminate the Trona Cloud Hazardous Air Pollutants if They Were Utilized in Southwest Wyoming… “Left Click” to Next Slide

  7. Natural Soda Ash Production Steps

  8. Calciner Hazardous Air Pollutants

  9. No Calciner Hazardous Air Pollutants

  10. This is How it is Done... “Left Click” to Next Slide

  11. Trona + Oil Shale HEAT Soda Ash The older technology, used in Wyoming today, simply heats trona and oil shale to convert the trona into soda ash (Na2Co3)

  12. HAPs + CO2 + H2O Poisonous Benzene Cloud Trona + Oil Shale HEAT Soda Ash This “dirty” process also cooks millions of tons of oil shale each year, boiling the oil shale products into the atmosphere....

  13. HAPs + CO2 + H2O Poisonous Benzene Cloud Trona + Oil Shale HEAT Soda Ash ..oil shale particulate products are also released....

  14. Newer technologies, use less energy to heat limestone (CaC03), which is used over-and-over again, to chemically convert trona into soda ash… CaO Trona + Oil Shale Limestone (CaCO3) HEAT Soda Ash + Liquid / Solid Waste CaCO3

  15. Newer technologies do not heat oil shale, use less energy, and release less CO2……a greenhouse gas… CO2 Non-Poisonous Greenhouse Gas CaO Trona + Oil Shale Limestone (CaCO3) HEAT Soda Ash + Liquid / Solid Waste CaCO3

  16. HAPs + CO2 + H2O Poisonous Benzene Cloud Trona + Oil Shale HEAT Soda Ash Wyoming’s Process Green Process CO2 Non-Poisonous Greenhouse Gas CaO Trona + Oil Shale Limestone (CaCO3) HEAT Soda Ash + Liquid / Solid Waste CaCO3
