7 Application Fields of Carbonate

Carbonates are salts composed of Carbonate ions and positive ions. In water, carbonates can be decomposed into carbonic acid and corresponding metal ions or ammonium ions. Carbonates have neutral or basic properties and can react with acids to produce carbon dioxide gas. The solubility of carbonates is related to their composition, crystal structure, and environmental conditions such as temperature and pH. In general, calcium carbonate has a low solubility in water, but its solubility increases under acidic conditions. Carbonates are widely used in many fields. Here are some major areas:

building material

Limestone and marble are common building materials used in architecture, sculpture and interior decoration. They have good durability and decorative effect.

industry

Calcium carbonate is widely used in the manufacture of industrial products such as cement, glass, ceramics, paints, plastics and rubber. It can increase the strength, hardness and wear resistance of the product.

drinks and food

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is commonly used in foods and beverages as a leavening agent to add volume and mouthfeel, such as breads, cakes, pastries, and sodas.

Cosmetics and Personal Care Products

Calcium carbonate is often used as an abrasive in toothpaste and skin care products to remove dead skin cells and cleanse the skin.

Environmental regulation

Calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate are widely used to adjust the pH value and acid-base balance of water bodies, such as water treatment, sewage treatment and water ecological restoration.

medicine and health

Calcium carbonate is used as a calcium supplement in medicine and health products to help supplement calcium and maintain bone health.

environmental protection

Carbonate can be used as one of the methods of climate regulation and carbon capture to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and mitigate the greenhouse effect.

In addition, carbonate is also used in the preparation of chemical agents, agricultural fertilizers, metal smelting, pulp and paper industry and other fields. The wide application of carbonate in different industries benefits from its abundant resources, controllable properties and diverse chemical reaction characteristics.
