-Stir the mixture for all sodium carbonate to dissolve.
-Filter the mixture to obtain calcium carbonate as residue and sodium carbonate as filtrate.
-Heat the filtrate to evaporate excess water and leave it to cool slowly for sodium carbonate to crystallize.
-Finally filter the product and obtain pure crystals of sodium carbonate.
