The Solvay process or ammonia-soda process is the major industrial process for the production of sodium carbonate. The ammonia-soda process was developed into its modern form by the Belgian chemist Ernest Solvay during the 1860s. The ingredients for this are readily available and inexpensive: salt brine and limestone.  The Solvay process is an industrial process that uses limestone (CaCO3 ) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2 ) which reacts with ammonia (NH3 ) dissolved in brine (concentrated NaCl(aq)) to produce sodium carbonate.
