Sodium bicarbonate is also known as Baking Soda. It is a white powder or fine crystal,
odourless and tasteless, soluble in water. The chemical formula is NaHCO3. Sodium
bicarbonate is an acid salt formed by the neutralization of a strong base with a weak acid, and
it is weakly alkaline when dissolved in water.
(NaHCO3 precipitates in the reaction, so there is a precipitation symbol here, which is the
convenience of this method)
The advantages of the ammonia-based method are retained, and its disadvantages are
eliminated, and the utilization rate of salt is increased to 96%. NH4Cl can be used as nitrogen
fertilizer (nitrogen fertilizer cannot be mixed with alkaline substances, but its purity can be
checked by plant ash). It can be combined with a synthetic ammonia plant to convert raw
ammonia gas CO into CO2 and remove CaCO3 to CO2 in order to reduce possible
environmental pollution.
1. Synthesis method
The synthesis method is also called the soda ash method. The production is often together
with soda ash factory production. Therefore, the synthetic Sodium Bicarbonate production
unit is basically constructed with the soda ash plant to directly utilize the high-temperature
soda ash from the calculation system of the process to accelerate the mother liquefaction
process. Provide qualified lye for subsequent operations.
In order to ensure that the excess NaHCO3 in the mother liquor is fully decomposed, the
phenomenon of NaHCO3 crystallization blockage during the transportation of the lye is
reduced, and the high material temperature is maintained throughout the operation.
Therefore, the synthesis method is often referred to as a high-temperature alkali process. The
process flow is shown in the figure below.

1. Trona Method
The trona production method is also called the trona carbonization method. China has rich
natural tron resources. Carbonization (strictly speaking, carbonation) is a major trona
processing technology in China. The trona carbonization method produces Sodium
Bicarbonate. It plays a pivotal role in the country.
China’s export of Sodium Bicarbonate is mainly supplied to Japan, South Korea, Southeast
Asia and the Middle East. The US exports of Sodium Bicarbonate to the Americas and Europe.
