Some people say trona is the most important mineral you’ve never heard of. It is a sodium carbonate/ bicarbonate compound used as a raw material in the soda ash manufacturing process. Soda ash is the ninth most widely used chemical in the US. Almost every day we come in contact with a product that uses soda ash as a raw material: glass, fiberglass, detergents, cleansers, sodium chemicals, petroleum precuts, paper, aluminum, baking soda, sugar refining, and pharmaceutical products. Come discover more about trona and how it is mined, processed, and used in your day to day world. Wyoming has the largest reserve of trona in the world and at the current rate of mining the supplies could last for about 1,300 more years. Open daily Monday through Friday year around. Call for hours. |
