The Trona Industry in Sweetwater County | Green River, WY
Trona Capital of the World. The Green River area in Sweetwater County is known as the "Trona Capital of the World." So, what is trona? It is a naturally-occurring mineral that is chemically known as sodium sesquicarbonate.
Production
Kazan Soda Elektrik extraction facility provides the trona solution (brine) which is the raw material of the process plant. The trona reserves, which lie at an average depth of 600 meters underground, are dissolved with hot water injection to the production wells, which forms trona solution (brine).

Pacific Soda – The clear solution for people, planet and …
Since solution mining targets the preferred minerals for soda ash production, undesirable minerals remain underground, significantly reducing the volume of low-level wastes that require surface management. This decreases the footprint of the processing plant, as well as the mine's overall disturbance.

The Role of the Calciner in Producing Soda Ash
According to the Wyoming Mining Association, in 2015, Wyoming mines produced in excess of 17 million tons of trona. Processing Trona Ore into Soda Ash. The process of transforming trona ore into soda ash is relatively simple.
A Legacy of Trona Mining; "Shift Change"
The Trona Capital of the World. Very impressive, to say the least. But when you get to the heart of it, these trona mines do not only represent a mineral, a process, a product. They represent a community that was raised, fed, and shaped by these mines since their beginning in 1938. Thousands of miners have made the trip from Green …
World's largest trona deposit emits enough methane to …
If processed into natural gas, the estimated rate of 950kg/h of methane emissions from trona mines in Wyoming could supply electricity for a year to 1 million homes.
Evaluation of flotation technology for the trona industry
With the present industrial practice, there is no particle separation process to remove these insoluble minerals prior to thermochemical processing. In this current research appropriate conditions for trona flotation technology were established from exploratory bench-scale experiments, and the conditions obtained from the bench-scale ...
Production of trona concentrates using high-intensity dry …
Hence, the production of a high-purity trona concentrate at a lower energy and operating cost is of considerable interest to the trona industry. In this study, we describe a possible two-stage process for concentrating trona ore, involving dry magnetic separation followed by flotation, to remove insoluble impurities from the trona ore.
Mineral Commodity Summaries 2022
U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries, January 2022 Relatively low production costs and lower environmental impacts provide natural soda ash producers some advantage over producers of synthetic soda ash.
Trona
All trona is mined underground and then processed into soda ash or baking soda. An underground trona mine is like an underground city. There are maintenance shops, bathrooms, electricity lines, and streets. Most trona is mined through a room-and-pillar system where a series of …
Evaluation of flotation technology for the trona industry
Recent studies have shown that the flotation method can be used for pre-processing of trona ore to remove insoluble mineral contaminants for the production of soda ash (sodium carbonate).
Production
This patented production method injects heated water into the underground ore body, which then dissolves the trona forming brine solution. The brine is then extracted to the surface, and pumped to a central processing facility.
