Nahcolite (NaHCO3), is a colourless to white carbonate mineral. Nahcolite is naturally occurring sodium bicarbonate. Nahcolite structure consists of planar chains of carbonate groups linked by hydrogen bonds; those planes are bonded together by sodium in six-fold coordination with oxygen. Nahcolite commonly does forms by reaction of carbon dioxide with the mineral named trona in evaporated lake basins.
Such surroundings where Nacholite is mostly formed is found in large quantities in the central salt body of Searles Lake, California, and as concentrations up to 5 feet (1.5 metres) thick in oil shale deposits in the Piceance Basin of the Green River Formation in Colorado, from where Nahcolite is commercially mined.
Apart from North America Nahcolite has also has been excavated in Botswana and Kenya, and there are sizable deposits in Uganda, Turkey, and Mexico. Coming to its usage in day-to-day life, Nahcolite can be used in traditional applications of sodium bicarbonate—e.g., in baking soda and toothpaste.
Moreover, Nahcolite can be converted to soda ash (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3) and can be used in various other industrial manufacturing needs. Over the forecast period, Nahcolite is expected to register healthy CAGR over the forecast period.
Primary factor for growth of Nahcolite is its uses in making of baking soda. Baking soda has an extensive usage as a primary ingredient to make cookies, cakes, biscuits, and similar other baking confectioneries. With rise in population and subsequent demand of various food items, packaged foods, confectionery and bakery item the rise in demand of baking soda is increasing which will catapult the market of Nahcolite.
