Caking Mechanism of Sodium Bicarbonate.

Sodium bicarbonate

Major uses Sodium bicarbonate is a main constituent of baking soda/powder. Baking powder is composed of 30% of sodium bicarbonate, with cornstarch, sodium aluminium sulfate, calcium acid phosphate, and calcium sulfate [1]. Sodium bicarbonate may be an ingredient of folk remedies containing turpentine, castor oil, lemon and sugar. It is also added to mouthwashes and dentifrices to prevent dental...

Sodium bicarbonate revisited.

Sodium-coupled bicarbonate transporters.

Together, the Na(+)-coupled HCO(3)(-) transporters and the AE family of anion exchangers (i.e., Cl-HCO3 exchangers) comprise the bicarbonate transporter (BT) superfamily. Virtually all BTs are important for the regulation of intracellular pH (pH(i)) in cells throughout the body. Specific BTs also play roles in cell-volume regulation, as well as for the transport of salt and/or acid-base equival...

Sorption properties of sodium bicarbonate

Introduction From the point of view of different technological processes, the knowledge of parameters describing the structure of sorbents, such as surface area or pore size distribution play an important role for application them in chemical, cement industries, or modification of mineral raw materials. The sorption properties are determined by surface area, what binds with surface energy and r...

Efficacy and mechanism of action of sodium bicarbonate in the treatment of desipramine toxicity in rats.

Alkalinization of the blood by administration of sodium bicarbonate or hyperventilation is widely recommended for treatment of cardiac toxicity due to tricyclic antidepressant overdose, yet its efficacy and mechanism of action are poorly defined. We studied the effects and possible mechanism of action of 1 M NaHCO3 on desipramine (DMI) toxicity in anesthetized, paralyzed rats. Administration of...
