Sodium bicarbonate

 

  • Chemical formula           NaHCO3
  • Identification           .....CAS / EINECS No: 144-55-8 / 205-633-8
  • Process           Sodium bicarbonate is obtained using soda ash as raw material which                     ..has been produced starting from limestone and rock salt (Solvay -                     ..process). The sodium bicarbonate is precipitated by introducing carbon                     ..dioxide into a concentrated sodium carbonate solution. After filtration                     ..and drying the bicarbonate is obtained as a white crystalline powder.
  • Chemical characteristics (typical)
              Sodium bicarbonate min 98 %
              Sodium min 27 %
              Undesirable substances conform to Directive 2002/32/EC
  • Physical properties (typical)
              Appearance fine powder
      white colour
              Apparent density 0.8 – 1.3 Kg / dm3
  • Handling, storage, toxicity
              Handling avoid heating above 60o C. (decomposition to sodium carbonate)
    keep away from acids (formation of CO2 gas)
              Storage to be stored in a dry and cool place
    keep away from reactive products (acids etc.)
              Toxicity non toxic
  • Specific advantages
              Ruminants prevents ruminal acidosis and its consequences
    has great pH buffering properties
    increases Dietary Cation Action Difference
    enhances the rate of digestion of cellulose
              Pigs

    represents a source of sodium without chloride
    prevents metabolic acidosis and heat stress
    ameliorates the lean meat percentage
    stimulates the ingestion of sows after birth
              Poultry represents a source of sodium without chloride
    increases Electrolytic Balance
    reinforces the quality of shell
    prevents heat stress and its consequences
