Sodium Bicarbonate Manufacturing Process Overview
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), commonly known as baking soda, is primarily manufactured through the Solvay Process, which also produces soda ash (sodium carbonate). Here's a step-by-step overview of the process:
1. Raw Materials
- Sodium chloride (NaCl)—Common salt
- Ammonia (NH₃)
- Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
- Water (H₂O) These are the primary raw materials used in the Solvay process.
2. Formation of Ammonium Bicarbonate
- Ammonia is dissolved in water to form an ammonia solution.
- Carbon dioxide is bubbled through this solution, forming ammonium bicarbonate (NH₄HCO₃). NH₃+CO₂+H₂O→NH₄HCO₃
3. Reaction with Sodium Chloride
- The ammonium bicarbonate solution is then reacted with sodium chloride (brine), forming sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) as a precipitate and ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) in solution. NH₄HCO₃+NaCl→NaHCO₃↓+NH₄Cl
4. Precipitation and Filtration
- Sodium bicarbonate is only slightly soluble in water and precipitates out.
- The solid NaHCO₃ is then separated from the solution by filtration.
5. Washing and Drying
- The filtered sodium bicarbonate is washed to remove impurities (like ammonium chloride).
- It is then dried at controlled temperatures to produce the final white crystalline powder.
6. Recycling of Ammonia
- The leftover ammonium chloride is treated with lime (CaO) to regenerate ammonia gas, which is reused in the process, making the Solvay process economical and sustainable. 2NH₄Cl+Ca(OH)₂→2NH₃+CaCl₂+2H₂O
Key Applications of Ammonium Bicarbonate
Ammonium bicarbonate is a versatile chemical used across multiple industries:
● Fertilizers: Used as a nitrogen source to promote plant growth in agriculture.
● Food Industry: Acts as a leavening agent in baked goods like cookies, crackers, and biscuits.
● Pharmaceuticals: Used in effervescent tablets and as a pH buffer in drug formulations.
● Industrial Manufacturing: Employed in rubber, plastics, and textile production as a blowing or foaming agent.
● Fire Extinguishers: Components in dry chemical fire extinguishers for Class B and C fires.
● Cleaning Products: Used in some cleaning agents for their ammonia-releasing and deodorizing properties.
● Animal Feed: Occasionally used as a nitrogen supplement in livestock feed.
HTMC Group ensures our ammonium bicarbonate suppliers meet the highest standards for all applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ans. Ammonium bicarbonate is primarily used as a fertilizer, food additive (leavening agent in baking), and in pharmaceuticals. It is also used in industrial applications like rubber and plastic production and in fire extinguishers.
Ans. Yes, in small amounts. It is commonly used as a leavening agent in low-moisture baked goods like cookies and crackers. However, it is not suitable for moist or large baked items, as it can leave an ammonia odor.
Ans. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from heat and moisture. Ammonium bicarbonate decomposes easily, releasing ammonia gas when exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
Ans. It can be an irritant if inhaled or ingested in large amounts. Prolonged exposure may affect the respiratory system. Proper handling and protective equipment are recommended during industrial use.
Ans. When heated, ammonium bicarbonate decomposes into ammonia gas (NH₃), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water vapor (H₂O). This reaction is what makes it effective as a leavening agent in baking.
