Sodium Bicarbonate

Refined sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is used in the manufacturing of specialty bakery items, textiles, chemicals, oral care products, deodorisers, and personal care products. It is also used for vegetable cleaning applications and in the blasting of metals.

Properties and Manufacturing

Refined sodium bicarbonate is formed when wet crude bicarbonate is calcined and is dissolved to form slurry. Slurry is then filtered and polished. The clear solution is carbonated to form sodium bicarbonate crystals which are centrifuged, washed, dried, and packed.
