What does NATRON mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistryhistorical
A naturally occurring mineral salt, mainly hydrated sodium carbonate, found in dried lake beds.
Natron forms where salty lakes evaporate in hot, dry climates, leaving behind a whitish or yellowish crust of sodium carbonate and related salts. Ancient Egyptians mined natron from dried lake deposits and used it to dry out bodies during mummification, because it draws moisture out of tissue. The mineral was also used in early glassmaking and as a cleaning agent. Today natron is studied mainly by chemists, geologists and historians of ancient Egypt rather than used in industry.
