Title: Method of producing alkali metal bicarbonates
Inventor: WOLSTEIN FRIEDRICH
IPC: C01D7/16
Filed: 1961-07-11
Abstract: Alkali metal bicarbonates are prepared by adding triethylamine to a saturated aqueous solution of alkali metal chlorides and then introducing carbon dioxide into the mixture, the whole being vigorously stirred.  When sodium bicarbonate is prepared, between 1.1 and 1.5 mols. of triethylamine and 1 mol. of carbon dioxide per mol. of sodium chloride are used; for potassium bicarbonate between 1.2 and 1.4 mols. of triethylamine per mol. of potassium chloride are used.  When both chlorides are present in solution, they may be separately precipitated by suitably adjusting the water content relative to the KCl: NaCl ratio in accordance with a ternary diagram, not shown, then adding in succession between 1 and 1.2 mols. each of triethylamine and carbon dioxide per mol. of sodium chloride present when the sodium bicarbonate is precipitated and can be removed.  The potassium bicarbonate is then precipitated by repetition of the above process.  The triethylamine is recovered from the mother liquor by adding slaked lime when two phases are formed, the supernatant phase containing the triethylamine can thus be removed.
