Abstract

Process to produce sodium carbonate from an ore mineral comprising sodium bicarbonate; comprising: dissolving sodium carbonate particles having a mean diameter D50, measured by sieve analysis, less than 250 μm in a water solution; introducing the resulting production solution comprising sodium carbonate into less basic compartments of an electrodialyser comprising alternating less basic and more basic adjacent compartments separated from each other by cationic membranes; producing a solution comprising sodium hydroxide is produced into the more basic compartments; extracting the solution comprising sodium hydroxide from the more basic compartments of the electrodialyser and used to constitute a reaction solution; and putting the reaction solution into contact with the mineral ore comprising sodium bicarbonate in order to form a produced solution comprising sodium carbonate.
