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 consumer end, and the transport service is calculated according to the transport situation of this product in this region. Ammonium chloride is a white crystalline powder or granule, commonly used as a cleaning agent, with applications in agriculture, pharmaceuticals and the food industry; the dataset contains the main raw and auxiliary materials, energy, atmospheric emissions and waste of the production process, and infrastructure such as the manufacture of production equipment and the construction of plant buildings is not included within the dataset boundary; in this dataset, sodium bicarbonate is modelled as a pure substance, and when modelling this substance in solution the user needs to add a solvent of their choice in the model; the data inventory is formed by merging data from multiple sources; the production activities of this product include charging, rinsing, mother liquor treatment, drying and pneumatic conveying. Ammonium chloride is a by-product of this production process, allocated based on physical relationship.
Activity Description

Process Description
Sodium bicarbonate (chemical formula NaHCO3; CAS number 144-55-8) is typically a white, odorless crystalline powder. It is readily soluble in water, and its aqueous solution is weakly alkaline. On heating, it decomposes to sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide, and water. Sodium bicarbonate is mainly used as a leavening agent and acidity regulator in food processing and is also used in flue-gas treatment, water treatment, pharmaceutical preparations, and the manufacture of other sodium salts and chemical products.
