Application / Intended Use
Sodium bicarbonate is a leavening agent, buffer and mild abrasive. Bakeries use it in chemical leavening systems with an acid salt; dairy and feed operations use it as a rumen buffer for high-yielding cows at roughly 150-200 g per head per day; industry uses it for flue-gas treatment and as a gentle blasting medium.
