Potassium bicarbonate, also known as potassium hydrogen carbonate, is a monopotassium salt of carbonic acid and is alkaline in nature. This compound exists in the form of white crystals at room temperature and does not contain any distinct odour. Due to its alkaline and economical nature, it can be widely used as a pH regulator in discharge streams of wastewater treatment facilities. It can further be employed as an ingredient in production of toothpaste and mouthwash.
Potassium bicarbonate possesses a melting point of 292°C and a solubility of 22.4g/100 ml in water at a temperature of 20°C. This compound is widely utilised in the dough processing sector as a leavening agent to produce cakes and breads due to its ability to release carbon dioxide and provide a light texture. Since it can release carbon dioxide upon exposure to heat, it is also implemented in specialised fire extinguishers to displace oxygen and effectively control fire.
The production of potassium bicarbonate is a simple and direct process. Firstly, potassium carbonate is sourced from natural mineral sources and then added to water to form a concentrated and aqueous solution. This aqueous solution is then taken in a reactor and then carbonised (carbon dioxide is passed through it) to produce the desired compound. The standard enthalpy of this process is -963.2 kilojoules per mole and its total molar mass stands at 100.1115 grams per mole.

Potassium bicarbonate is synthesised primarily through the reaction of potassium carbonate (K2CO3) with carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
1. Reaction of Potassium Carbonate with Carbon Dioxide and Water:
K2CO3 + CO2 + H2O → 2 KHCO3
This is a typical method for producing potassium bicarbonate on an industrial scale.
2. Direct Reaction from Potassium Hydroxide:
Another method involves reacting potassium hydroxide (KOH) with carbon dioxide:
2 KOH + CO2 → K2CO3 + H2O
Followed by:
K2CO3 + CO2 + H2O → 2 KHCO3
Potassium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to initially form potassium carbonate and water. This potassium carbonate then reacts further with carbon dioxide and water to produce potassium bicarbonate.
Potassium bicarbonate finds common usage as a medication to supplement low levels of potassium in the blood. It can be further be leveraged as an antacid as it depicts mild pH and can generate effervescence properties, making it effective for neutralising acid in the stomach to relieve indigestion. In the food and beverages industry, it can be used as a foaming agent in drinks and as a colour preservative in food products. Furthermore, it is implemented in the winemaking process as an additive to regulate the pH level. The rising agricultural activities in developing countries and the expansion of the pharmaceutical industry in both, developed and developing nations are boosting its demand.
