Product Information
Product Nature
Physical Properties:
· Appearance: White crystalline powder or granules.
· Solubility: Soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol.
· Density: Approx. 2.20 g/cm³.
Chemical Properties:
· Thermal Instability: Begins to decompose around 50°C and decomposes completely around 270°C, producing sodium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide. Reaction: 2NaHCO₃ → Na₂CO₃ + H₂O + CO₂↑
· Reaction with Acids: Reacts rapidly with acids (e.g., acetic acid, citric acid) to produce the corresponding salt, water, and carbon dioxide. This is the basis for its use as a leavening agent and antacid.
· Weak Alkalinity: Aqueous solution is weakly alkaline (pH ~8.3 for 0.8% solution) due to hydrolysis, enabling neutralization reactions with acidic substances.
· Hygroscopicity: Slowly decomposes in moist air.
Product Usage
Food Industry (Primary Application):
· Leavening Agent: Used in the production of pastries, cookies, bread, and steamed buns to create a porous, light texture.
· Acidity Regulator: Used to adjust the pH of food products.
· Color Stabilizer for Fruits and Vegetables.
Pharmaceutical Industry:
· Antacid: Used to relieve stomach pain and heartburn caused by excess stomach acid.
· Used in total parenteral nutrition and dialysis solutions.
Personal Care & Daily Chemicals:
· Toothpaste Additive: Functions as an abrasive and foaming agent.
· Bath Additive: Used to soften water and soothe skin.
Animal Nutrition: Used as a feed additive.
Fire Fighting: A key component in dry powder fire extinguishers for combating Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical) fires.
Environmental & Cleaning:
· Household Cleaner: Used for mild cleaning in kitchens, bathrooms, etc.
· Flue Gas Treatment: Used to absorb acid gases (e.g., SO₂, HCl).
· Water Treatment: Used for pH adjustment.
Safety Matters
Health Hazards:
· Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade sodium bicarbonate are safe for human consumption and use at recommended doses.
· Industrial-grade powder may cause mild irritation to eyes and respiratory tract. Significant dust inhalation may cause discomfort.
· Excessive intake may disrupt the body's acid-base balance.
Handling Protection:
· When handling industrial-grade powder, work in a well-ventilated area and wear a dust mask to minimize dust inhalation.
· Avoid eye contact with dust.
· Wash hands after handling.
Storage & Transportation:
· Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Strictly protect from moisture. Moisture causes caking and slow decomposition.
· Keep containers tightly closed.
· Store separately from acids.
· Food/pharmaceutical-grade products must be stored separately from industrial-grade products and comply with relevant hygiene standards.
Special Considerations:
· Thermal Decomposition: Releases carbon dioxide when heated. Heating in a closed container poses an explosion risk.
· Reaction with Acids: Can react vigorously with strong acids.
