Application:
Pharmaceuticals and Foods
• Used as an antacid, electrolyte replenisher and potassium supplement
• An excipient
• Used in foods as a leavening agent(baking powder) , pH control agent, and a nutrient supplement (e.g., infant formulations)
• A processingaidin extrudedfoods
• Foaming and fizzing agent in instant beverages
• Serves as a color preservative in foods
Fire Extinguisher Ingredient
• Dry powder fire extinguishers
• Efficient fire extinguishing
agent for Class B (flammable liquids and gases) and Class C (electrical) type fires
• Automatic release systems for fire prevention
• Airfield, petrochemical, naval and other commercial applications
• Scavenger of acidic fire byproducts
Agriculture – Soils
• The absorption of potassium by soils is enhanced by the bicarbonate
• Reduces the loss of cations in acid or neutral soils and increases the action of phosphate fertilizers
• Corrects soil pH, reducesacidity
• foliar fungicide
Agriculture Fertilizer – Crops
• For crops where the use of KCl is detrimental
• Potatoes– largerpro-teinand starch yield
• Tobacco – reduces leaf size and improves color and burn properties
Feed
• Dietary supplementation and buffering the rumen with potassium has been shown to improve performancein meat and dairyanimals. Potassium Bicarbonate supplies both potassium and rumen buffers in the form of bicarbonate.
Catalyst
• Polymerization of synthetic fibers
• Dehydrogenation of olefins
Other Possible Uses
• Impregnated paper or cellulose can be used as a filter to remove HCN and other acid gases from tobacco smoke
• Household odor remover
• An accelerator in fast setting cements
• Used in aqueous resin-based coatings and
adhesives
• High-temperature polymer blowing agent
• Detergent builder
• Deicer
• Hair and skin product
