Sodium Bicarbonate

Sodium Bicarbonate Specification:
Total Alkali Content (as NaHCO3 ): 99.0% ~ 100.5%
Loss on Drying: 0.2% Max
Arsenic: 1ppm Max
Heavy Metals (as Pb): 5ppm Max
pH Value: 8.6 Max

Sodium Bicarbonate Application:
Mainly used in baking industry to ferment and as loose agent

Sodium Bicarbonate Storage and Transportation:
1) Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances and in a tightly closed container
2) Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist or gas. Avoid breathing vapors from heated material. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Sodium bicarbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate), commonly known as "baking soda", "soda", a white small crystals, the solubility in water than sodium carbonate. Solid above 50 celsius degree produce sodium carbonate began to decompose, carbon dioxide and water, 270 celsius degree when the complete decomposition. Sodium bicarbonate is a strong base and weak acid during and after the resulting acid salt, soluble in water, rendered alkaline. Often take advantage of this feature as a food production process in the leavening agent. Sodium bicarbonate sodium carbonate in the role of the residue after the use of too much alkali will have finished flavor.

White crystals, or slightly opaque monoclinic crystal. The proportion of 2.159. Odorless, taste salty, and can be soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol. Its aqueous solution was slightly alkaline due to hydrolysis, heat easily decompose rapidly decomposed in more than 65 celsius degree at 270 celsius degreewhen the total loss of carbon dioxide, no change in dry air, humid air in the slow decomposition. Solubility: 7.8g/100mL, 18 ° C; 16.0g/100mL, 60 ° C 16.0g/100mL
