Wyoming Trona vs. Alternative Sodium Sources as Glass-Making Raw Materials

E. Wm. Heinrich

Abstract

The high cost of trona makes it imperative that the glass industry search for and utilize cheaper alternative Na sources. The possible and speculative substitutes include: 1) various feldspar deposits (igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic), including ordinary granitoids and anorthosites; 2) additional "Nephton-type" nepheline deposits; 3) paragonite schists: 4) deposits of magadiite; and 5) nahcolite-dawsonite deposits.
