Product Description
Food Grade Sodium Bicarbonate 25kg Bag NaHCO3 CAS 144-55-8
Sodium Bicarbonate is a versatile inorganic salt and multifunctional food additive, renowned for its mild alkalinity, leavening properties, and excellent safety profile. It is a fundamental ingredient in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and household applications. It is primarily produced through the Solvay process or refined from natural trona ore.
Aliases: Baking Soda, Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate
English Name: Sodium Bicarbonate
Chemical Formula: NaHCO₃
Molecular Weight: 84.01
CAS Number: 144-55-8
Key Properties: Mild alkaline, decomposes to release CO₂ upon heating, soluble in water, non-toxic.
Advanced Application Scenarios
1. "Leavening Agent and pH Regulator" in Food & Beverage
The primary leavening agent in baked goods (bread, cakes, cookies), reacting with acids to produce carbon dioxide gas, which causes dough to rise.
Used as a pH regulator in beverages, chocolate, and confectionery to control acidity and enhance flavor.
2. "Therapeutic Agent and Excipient" in Pharmaceuticals
Used as an antacid in oral preparations to relieve heartburn and acid indigestion by neutralizing stomach acid.
Serves as an excipient in effervescent tablets and powders, providing rapid dissolution and drug release.
3. "Cleaning and Deodorizing Agent" in Household & Industrial Cleaning
A key ingredient in eco-friendly cleaning powders and pastes for removing stains, neutralizing odors, and gentle abrasive cleaning.
Used in water treatment to adjust pH and neutralize acidic wastewater.
4. "Fire Suppressant and Additive" in Industrial Applications
Acts as a fire suppressant in dry chemical fire extinguishers (Class B and C fires) by releasing CO₂ and smothering flames.
Used as a buffering agent in chemical processes, leather tanning, and textile processing.
Technological Breakthroughs and Sustainable Development
Production and Refinement
Implementation of advanced crystallization and fluidized bed drying technologies produces uniform, free-flowing products with consistent particle size and low moisture content. Refinement from natural trona ore offers an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to the synthetic Solvay process.
Quality and Purity Control
Rigorous quality control ensures compliance with international food and pharmaceutical standards (FCC, USP, Ph. Eur.). Advanced screening and purification processes minimize impurities like heavy metals and chlorides.
Sustainable Manufacturing
Modern Solvay process plants incorporate closed-loop systems to recycle ammonia and reduce waste. Utilization of carbon capture technology to utilize CO₂ in the production process, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Application-Specific Formulations
Development of coated sodium bicarbonate for controlled reaction in specific food applications. Micronized grades for enhanced dissolution rates in pharmaceutical and effervescent applications.
