What does TRONA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A whitish or gray mineral, a natural double salt of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, mined and processed to produce soda ash.
Trona forms as a crust or layer in dry lake beds and salt deposits, where mineral-rich water has evaporated over long periods. Miners crush and refine trona to extract soda ash, an ingredient used in glassmaking, detergents, and various chemical processes. Large trona deposits in places such as Wyoming and East Africa supply much of the world's soda ash without the need for artificial manufacturing. The mineral's name traveled into English from Arabic by way of earlier European languages describing natural soda deposits.
