Description
This dataset is a market dataset representing the consumption market of the region. The dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumption end, and the transport service is calculated based on the transport situation of the product in the region. Sodium bicarbonate is commonly used in food, pharmaceutical, household and other fields; the production activity of this product is obtained by weighted averaging of the Hou's soda process and the metathesis process; if you cannot specify the exact production process of sodium bicarbonate, you may use this dataset, and for specific technical details, boundary scope and other information, you may refer to the datasets of the various production processes of sodium bicarbonate; infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and plant construction is not included within the dataset boundary.
Activity Description
The production activities for this product are a weighted average of the metathesis method and the soda ash method.
Process Description
Sodium bicarbonate (CAS number 144-55-8) is a white crystalline powder with the chemical formula NaHCO3, commonly known as baking soda. It is stable at ambient temperature but gradually decomposes above 50°C to form sodium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide. It is readily soluble in water and forms a mildly alkaline solution. Its vigorous reaction with acids releases carbon dioxide, making it a common raw material for leavening agents and fire-extinguishing agents. In the food industry, it is widely used to leaven baked goods such as bread and biscuits. It is also used as an antacid in pharmaceuticals and for household cleaning and deodorizing.
