pH (100g/L, 25°C)	7.0 – 8.5	7.0 – 8.5

Production Method

Ammonium Bicarbonate is manufactured through a gas-liquid reaction of ammonia (NH₃), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water. The main reaction is:

NH₃ + CO₂ + H₂O → NH₄HCO₃

This reaction takes place under controlled temperature and pressure in a closed system. The resulting crystalline product is then filtered, dried, and packed in moisture-resistant bags.

Applications

Food Industry

Leavening Agent: Used in cookies, biscuits, crackers, and puffed snacks. It decomposes at baking temperatures, releasing CO₂ to provide volume and texture without leaving an alkaline taste.
Food Additive: Listed as E503(ii), approved for safe use in many countries.

Agriculture

Nitrogen Fertilizer: Provides around 17% nitrogen, suitable for crops requiring fast nitrogen release.
Soil Conditioner: Enhances soil fertility, particularly in acidic or neutral soils.

Industrial Uses

Foaming Agent: Used in the production of plastics and rubber.
Fire Extinguishers: Ingredient in dry powder fire extinguishers.
Chemical Reagent: Used in dyes, pharmaceuticals, and laboratory analysis.

Functional Effects

Rapid Leavening: Fast decomposition ensures immediate gas release during baking, ideal for low-moisture products.
Zero Residue: Decomposes into gases, leaving no solid residue or off-flavor in baked goods.
Nitrogen Supply: Effective and economical nitrogen source for short-cycle crops.
Cost Efficiency: Affordable for both food manufacturers and agricultural users.

Packaging & Storage

Standard Packaging: 25 kg kraft paper bags with PE liner or 50 kg woven PP bags
OEM Options: Custom labels and packaging available
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Protect from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
