Carbonate de sodiumLe carbonate de sodium est un composé chimique de formule NaCO et correspondant à l'espèce minérale naturelle dénommée natrite. Il s'agit d'un sel de sodium de l'acide carbonique. Il représente un des grands produits polyvalents de la chimie moderne. Dans le langage courant, ce solide ionique, le plus souvent sous forme poudreuse, et ses solutions aqueuses sont dénommés communément respectivement cristaux de soude et soude, du nom ancien de cet alcali minéral, utilisé précocement dans l'industrie verrière antique.
TufaTufa is a variety of limestone formed when carbonate minerals precipitate out of water in unheated rivers or lakes. Geothermally heated hot springs sometimes produce similar (but less porous) carbonate deposits, which are known as travertine. Tufa is sometimes referred to as (meteogene) travertine. It should not be confused with hot spring (thermogene) travertine. Tufa, which is calcareous, should also not be confused with tuff, a porous volcanic rock with a similar etymology that is sometimes also called "tufa".
