| Application: |
|
| Application: | Sodium bicarbonate is used as a: • mild base to neutralize the reaction mixture during the synthesis of 1,2:5,6-Di-O-cyclohexylid • precipitating agent in the co-precipitation method in the synthesis of gamma alumina (γ-Al2O3) catalyst during the methanol dehydration reaction to produce Dimethyl ether. • a pore-forming agent and CO2 source to enhance the substrate porosity during the formation of a porous poly(ethersulfone) support layer for designing high-performance thin-film composite forward osmosis (TFC-FO) membranes. |
| General description: | Sodium Bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is commonly used as a mild base to neutralize acidic spills, regulate pH levels, and counteract the effects of certain acidic toxins in the body. It also acts as a leavening agent by generating CO₂ when reacts with acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice. |
