Обзор продукта

Potassium Bicarbonate (chemical formula: KHCO₃) is a white, odorless crystalline powder used in a wide range of industries. It is a potassium-based salt of carbonic acid and serves as a mildly alkaline compound with excellent solubility in water. It decomposes upon heating to form карбонат калия, carbon dioxide, ивода.

It is commonly used as a разрыхлитель, fire suppressant, nutritional supplement, ифунгицид, and is widely accepted in еда, сельское хозяйство, иindustrial sectors.

Технические характеристики продукта

Производственный процесс

Potassium Bicarbonate is typically produced via a reaction between potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃)иcarbon dioxide (CO₂) under controlled conditions:

K₂CO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O → 2KHCO₃

This method ensures high purity and minimal by-products. The product is then crystallized, dried, and milled to the desired particle size.
