Sodium Bicarbonate is mainly used in the food industry and is known as baking soda. It is a leavening agent in baking – the reaction between baking soda and acid leads to the release of carbon dioxide, which causes the batter to expand and develop its characteristic texture. In addition, Sodium Bicarbonate also acts as a raising agent in baking by thermally decomposing and producing carbon dioxide.

Sodium Bicarbonate finds its uses in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. The combination of water with Sodium Bicarbonate can serve as an effective antacid in medication production. It is also an ingredient in throat medication and allows the end product to reduce inflammation. Due to its foaming properties, Sodium Bicarbonate is used in the production of effervescent tablets.

Sodium Bicarbonate is often used in detergents and cleaners as an active filler that raises the pH, making the end product more efficient and of better quality. It also serves as the main ingredient in dry fire extinguishing powders and portable multi-purpose fire extinguishers. It operates by emitting a carbon dioxide cloud that suffocates the fire, preventing it from accessing oxygen and disrupting the chemical process necessary for the fire to persist.
