Various Processes used to obtain Sodium Carbonate: Sodium carbonate is a solvent in water and can happen normally in parched locales, particularly in mineral stores (evaporites) shaped when occasional lakes vanish. Stores of the mineral natron have been mined from dry lake bottoms in Egypt since antiquated times when natron was utilized in the arrangement of mummies and in the early production of glass. The anhydrous mineral type of sodium carbonate is very interesting and called natrite. Sodium carbonate additionally ejects from Ol Doinyo Lengai, Tanzania's special fountain of liquid magma, and it is ventured to have been emitted from other volcanoes previously, however, because of these minerals' precariousness at the world's surface, are probably going to be dissolved. Each of the three mineralogical types of sodium carbonate, as well as trona, trisodium hydrogendicarbonate dihydrate, are likewise known from super antacid pegmatitic rocks, that happens for instance in the Kola Peninsula in Russia.

Extraterrestrially realized sodium carbonate is uncommon. Stores have been distinguished as the wellspring of splendid spots on Ceres, inside material that has been brought to the surface. While there are carbonates on Mars, and these are supposed to incorporate sodium carbonate, stores still can't seem to be affirmed, this
