About Sodium Bicarbonate. Sodium Bicarbonate (a.k.a. Baking Soda, NaHCO3) is a salt that is found as white granules or crystalline powder. Its natural mineral form is nahcolite and it is found dissolved in many mineral springs. It decomposes when heated releasing carbon dioxide. Sodium Bicarbonate is mainly used as an antacid and food anticaking agent.
Sodium hydrogencarbonate tends to form lumps in the presence of moisture or under pressure. On heating to > 60 °C, appreciable decomposition to sodium carbonate occurs. The bicarbonate readily picks up odors from its surroundings and should therefore be stored under dry, airtight containers and should be kept in well-ventilated and dry places. Also, it should be stored away from excessive heat and acids. This material can be packed and stored in 25 kg polypropylene bags or four-layer 25 kg paper bags with polyethylene liners. It is not listed as dangerous cargo.
Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Sodium Bicarbonate are listed below.
- Sodium carbonate + carbon dioxide (salt formation),
- Nahcolite deposits (extraction/purification),
- Nahcolite deposits (extraction/carbon dioxide stripping/purification, coproduced with sodium carbonate)
The uses and applications of Sodium Bicarbonate may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Sodium Bicarbonate are food grade; United States Pharmacopeia (USP) grade; animal feed grade; and industrial grade.
