A brief introduction to the technology of local caustic soda roasting:
Applicant: Xinjiang production and Construction Corps
The technique of making caustic soda from Artemisia ordosica mainly spread in fangcaohu and Xinhu farm reclamation area of the Sixth Agricultural Division of Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, with a history of more than 200 years. The old people in Xinjiang have the habit of eating grey noodles on New Year's day. Grey flour is a kind of flour made by hand, which is a kind of local alkali and flour. It is smooth, moist, and tastes good when eaten.
The climate of Xinjiang is dry and the soil is rich in salt and alkali. The wild plant Artemisia ordosica, which is cold resistant, alkali resistant and strong vitality, grows everywhere in this land. In the long-term practice of land reclamation, the local people have accumulated some experience in production and life, and found that Artemisia ordosica can not only be used for composting or firewood burning, but also be used to burn soil alkali. It is economical, practical and low-cost to use Artemisia ordosica seed to produce caustic soda, especially in the hard years of tight material supply and the areas with relatively backward economic level, which can not only reduce the expenditure of the masses, but also generate income. The effect of earth alkali and noodles can not be replaced by the edible alkali on the market. Among the old people in Xinjiang in Xinhu and fangcaohu reclamation areas, the technique of making local caustic soda has been handed down from mouth to heart. But at present, only a few local residents are engaged in the complex activities of making lime flour and soda ash. This unique folk craft with local characteristics is in danger of extinction and needs to be protected, inherited and developed.
