NH₄HCO₃

Ammonium Bicarbonate - Food Grade & Industrial Grade

Industrial Field

Foaming agent: used in the production of rubber, plastic, and sponge, decomposes under heat to produce CO₂ and NH₃ gases, forming a porous structure.
Pharmaceutical industry: used as a buffer and neutralizer in drug synthesis
Food additive: (rarely used) used as a food leavening agent (such as biscuits and cakes), but its use is restricted due to residual ammonia smell

Ammonium Bicarbonate Information

The following are multi-dimensional tags about Ammonium Bicarbonate (NH₄HCO₃), covering properties, applications, classifications, etc., which can be selected according to specific scenarios:

Basic Attribute Tags

Common name: ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate; Chemical formula: NH₄HCO₃; Molecular weight: 79.06; CAS number: 1066-33-7; Appearance: white crystalline powder or granules with ammonia odor.

Chemical Properties

Acidity and alkalinity: Weak acid and weak base salt, the aqueous solution is weakly alkaline (pH≈7.8); Thermal stability: Extremely unstable, begins to decompose above 36°C, and decomposes rapidly at 60°C to produce ammonia (NH₃), carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

Physical Properties

Density: 1.58 g/cm³; Melting point: No fixed melting point (easy to decompose); Solubility: Easily soluble in water (about 22g/100g water at 20°C), insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone; Hygroscopicity: Strongly hygroscopic, easily deliquesced and released ammonia when exposed to air

Classification

Material category: inorganic compounds, acid salts, ammonium salts; Industrial grade: agricultural grade, industrial grade, food grade (rare); Hazard: non-hazardous chemicals, but be aware of the irritation of ammonia.

Safety and Storage

Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry, ventilated place, away from heat sources and open flames. Avoid mixing with alkaline substances (such as lime, caustic soda) to prevent the reaction from releasing ammonia. The packaging must be moisture-proof (such as plastic bags, woven bags lined with film)

Related Industries

Upstream raw materials: ammonia (NH₃), carbon dioxide (CO₂), water (H₂O) (produced through carbonization reaction). Downstream products: further processed into nitrogen fertilizers such as urea and ammonium nitrate. Industrial by-products can be used to prepare other ammonium salts (such as ammonium sulfate).

Ammonium Bicarbonate Notes

Volatility: Improper storage can easily lead to a decrease in nitrogen content, so it needs to be sealed and moisture-proof.
Environmental impact: Excessive application may lead to soil acidification, so the dosage needs to be reasonably controlled.
Alternative products: Due to its volatility, it is gradually replaced by more stable nitrogen fertilizers such as urea and ammonium bicarbonate.
