Manufacturing process of Potassium bicarbonate

Step 1: Raw Material Selection

  • High-purity potassium carbonate and carbon dioxide are used.
  • Raw materials undergo strict quality checks for purity.

Step 2: Chemical Reaction & Processing

  • Potassium carbonate reacts with carbon dioxide to form Potassium Bicarbonate.
  • The solution is filtered and purified to remove impurities.

Step 3: Crystallization & Drying

  • The solution is crystallized, dried, and milled to achieve the required purity.

Step 4: Quality Control & Testing

  • The product is tested for assay, solubility, moisture content, and pH as per IP/BP/USP standards.

Step 5: Packaging & Storage

  • Packed in HDPE bags or fiber drums to prevent contamination.
  • Stored in a cool, dry place to maintain stability.
