The mainstream production processes for baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) include natural alkali method, ammonia alkali method, and emerging biosynthetic method.
The natural alkali method relies on domestic natural alkali mineral resources, with a short process, low energy consumption, and less impurities in the product. It is currently the main production process in China, and the output products have outstanding cost-effectiveness.
The ammonia alkali method is a globally recognized traditional process that synthesizes salt, ammonia, and carbon dioxide as raw materials. It has mature technology, stable production capacity, and a wide range of applications.
The biosynthetic method belongs to a green new process, low-carbon and environmentally friendly, and is gradually being promoted and applied.
Different processes can be combined with refining, purification and other processes to produce industrial grade, food grade, feed grade and other multi category products.The current industry relies on diversified production routes to achieve large-scale supply, and its products are widely used in industrial processing, food, aquaculture and other fields.
