Description
What is NaHCO3 TECH GRADE?
Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. “NaHCO3 tech grade” refers to a specific grade or quality of sodium bicarbonate that is suitable for technical or industrial applications.
Tech grade NaHCO3 typically has fewer purity requirements compared to food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade sodium bicarbonate. It is produced for use in various industrial processes and applications where the exact purity and quality standards required for food or pharmaceuticals are not necessary. Some common uses of tech grade sodium bicarbonate include:
-
Water Treatment: It is used to adjust the pH levels in water treatment processes, such as in wastewater treatment plants and swimming pools.
-
Flue Gas Desulfurization: In power plants, sodium bicarbonate can be used to remove sulfur dioxide from flue gas emissions.
-
Fire Extinguishers: Tech grade NaHCO3 is used in certain types of fire extinguishers as a fire-suppressing agent.
-
Chemical Manufacturing: It can be used as a chemical reagent in various industrial processes.
-
Cleaning Agents: NaHCO3 is an effective abrasive cleaner and is used in the formulation of some cleaning products.
-
Dyeing and Textile Industries: It may be used in dyeing and finishing processes in the textile industry.
-
Agriculture: It can be used as a buffering agent in agricultural applications, such as adjusting soil pH.
Tech grade sodium bicarbonate may have impurities or variations in purity levels that make it unsuitable for human consumption or pharmaceutical applications. It is important to select the appropriate grade of sodium bicarbonate based on the specific requirements of the intended application to ensure safety and effectiveness.
