Buying Guide for Sodium bicarbonate
When buying Sodium bicarbonate for domestic or export purposes, it is necessary to first determine the type of consumption and volume you want. These materials are packed in standard bags, so the seal of the packages is a symbol of maintaining the quality of the product. Try to buy and even export baking soda from the seller and the manufacturer to ask for chemical analysis sheet of it.
Product Quality
Sodium bicarbonate is present in the form of fine granularity or fine white crystals; one of the signs of high-quality material is its lack of hunkiness. This material is odorless, so the second factor in determining the quality of baking soda is its odorlessness. Keep this in mind, because buying a low-quality product will change the outcome of production.
Physical and chemical properties of Sodium bicarbonate
Sodium bicarbonate is soluble in water at different temperatures. It is not soluble in ethanol, but partially soluble in acetone. Some of its common names are: Naculite – Bicarbonate Soda – Bicarbonate – Bicarb.
Methods of baking soda production
1-Industrial Method:
Sodium bicarbonate is obtained from sodium carbonate and in the process of solubility. The series of processes that produce this product are as follows:
Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O →2 NaHCO3
NaCl + CO2 + NH3 + H2O → NaHCO3 + NH4Cl
CO2 + NaOH → NaHCO3
2- Extraction from Mine
The second method of producing sodium bicarbonate is direct extraction from the natural naculite mine. This ore is rich in sodium bicarbonate and can obtain the original product with a simple process.
Sodium Bicarbonate usages
| Usage | Industry |
| Additive to bread dough and pastry and cake ingredients- Additive to carbonated drinks- Buffer environment regulator- Additive in olive processing | Food industry |
| Tooth and gum cleaning agent- production of fluoride-free toothpaste- antiseptic in pharmaceuticals | Health and medicine |
| Animal feed additive | Agriculture and Livestock |
| Sulfide odor remover- odor control of sewage- stopping the growth of harmful biological microorganisms | Water and wastewater treatment |
Packaging and storage of baking soda
This material decomposes by heat, so its packaging should be stored away from sources of heat, heat and spark. Baking soda is incompatible with moisture, oxidizing substances, sodium and potassium alloys and acids, so bags containing it should be kept away from these materials.
Currently, baking soda packaging is offered in 25, 50 and 1000 kg bags. When shopping، determine which packages are best for your use.
Maintenance, Loading and Delivery:
Bags containing sodium bicarbonate are loaded and shipped according to standard conditions. The bags are very resistant and their lids are sealed. Bulk transportation of this material is possible if needed. Again, we emphasize that you should avoid the smallest amount of moisture entering the bag.
Safety Tips for Sodium bicarbonate:
Baking soda is an irritating substance and can cause irritation of the eyes and skin. Long-term contact with this substance, without observing safety tips and wearing full work clothes, leads to liver and kidney damage.
