Products Application
Potassium bicarbonate can be used in chemical production as a raw material for the production of potassium carbonate, potassium acetate, and potassium arsenite. It is also used as a fire extinguishing agent for petroleum and chemicals. It can also be used in medicine to supplement potassium, for treating hypokalemia, and as a nutritional supplement and excipient. In the food industry, it is used as baking powder, foaming salt, and chemical leavening agents. In analytical chemistry, potassium bicarbonate is commonly used as an analytical reagent. In laboratories, it is used as an acid regulator. The main consumption areas of potassium bicarbonate in China are still the food sector. It is used as a food additive in the baking industry and the acidity regulator industry to replace sodium bicarbonate. The second largest application areas are agricultural fertilizers, animal husbandry, pulp processing, fire extinguishers, etc.
