Sodium sesquicarbonate, Na2CO3 * NaHCO3 * 2H2O, can be made using a technique called polythermal crystallization from a solution that is saturated at 100°C and contains NaCl, Na2CO3, and NaHCO3 in a 2:1 molecular ratio. It has been demonstrated that the result of crystallization is a big plate-shaped crystal up to 2 millimeters long. A practical method for producing Na2CO3 * NaHCO3 * 2H2O is put forth; it calls for the mother liquor to be recycled along with cleaning water, increasing the final output from 54.7 to 74.3%.
