Potassium Bicarbonate Market

Potassium bicarbonate is an odorless, colorless, slightly basic, noncombustible, and a salty substance. Potassium bicarbonate is also well-known as potassium acid carbonate, or potassium hydrogen carbonate. Potassium bicarbonate’s empirical formula is KHCO3. Potassium carbonate is formed, as a result of reaction between carbon dioxide and potassium carbonate, and then recrystalizing it. All equipments used from production to packaging of potassium bicarbonate are dedicated exclusively for it. Potassium bicarbonate is stable under normal conditions. Potassium bicarbonate contains no toxic chemicals. According to United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), potassium bicarbonate is classified as a food ingredient, “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS). Potassium bicarbonate is not listed as carcinogen or potential carcinogen. Potassium bicarbonate is water soluble and dissolves quickly. Potassium bicarbonate has thermal stability up to 350º F. Potassium bicarbonate is very rarely found in its natural form, i.e. the mineral called as kalicinite.
