Potassium Bicarbonate FCC Food Grade Specifications
KHCO3 Formula wt 100.12
INS: 501(ii) CAS Number 298-14-6

DESCRIPTION
Potassium Bicarbonate occurs as colorless, transparent, monoclinic prisms or as a white, granular powder. It is stable in air. Its solutions are neutral or alkaline to phenolphthalein. One gram dissolves in 2.8 mL of water. It is almost insoluble in alcohol.
Function: pH control; leavening agent.

REQUIREMENTS
Identification A 1:10 aqueous solution gives positive tests for Potassium and for Bicarbonate.
Assay: Not less than 99.0% and not more than 101.5% of KHCO3, calculated on the dried basis.
Carbonate: Passes test.
Lead: Not more than 2 mg/kg.
Loss on Drying: Not more than 0.25%.

Potassium Bicarbonate USP Grade specifications
KHCO3 100.12
Carbonic acid, monopotassium salt.
Monopotassium carbonate CAS Number 298-14-6].

Potassium Bicarbonate contains not less than 99.5 percent and not more than 101.5 percent of KHCO3, calculated on the dried basis.

Identification: A solution (1 in 10) responds to the tests for Potassium and for Bicarbonate .
Loss on drying: Dry it over silica gel for 4 hours: it loses not more than 0.3% of its weight.
Normal carbonate: Grind 3.0 g of Potassium Bicarbonate with 25 mL of alcohol and 5 mL of water in a porcelain mortar. Add 3 drops of phenolphthalein TS, and titrate slowly with barium chloride solution, prepared by dissolving 12.216 g of barium chloride in 300 mL of water and diluting with alcohol to obtain 1000 mL of solution, until the suspension becomes colorless. Continue the grinding for 2 minutes, and if the color turns pink, continue the titration with the barium chloride solution to a colorless end-point. Repeat the grinding for 2 minutes and the addition of the barium chloride solution, if necessary, until the suspension is colorless after 2 minutes of grinding. Each mL of the barium chloride solution is equivalent to 6.911 mg of K2CO3: not more than 2.5% is found.
Heavy metals: To 2 g add 5 mL of water and 8 mL of 3 N hydrochloric acid, heat to boiling, and maintain that temperature for 1 minute. Add 1 drop of phenolphthalein and sufficient 6 N ammonium hydroxide, drop wise, to give the solution a faint pink color. Cool, add 2 mL of 1 N acetic acid, and then dilute with water to 25 mL: the limit is 0.001%.
Organic volatile impurities: meets the requirements. (Official until July 1, 2007)

Potassium Bicarbonate BP Ph Eur Specifications
(Potassium, Hydrogen Carbonate, Ph Eur)

CHARACTERS
Appearance: White or almost white, crystalline powder or colourless crystals.
Solubility: Freely soluble in water, practically insoluble in ethanol (96 per cent).
When heated in the dry state or in solution, it is gradually converted to potassium carbonate.

IDENTIFICATION
A. To 5 mL of solution S (see Tests) add 0.1 mL of phenolphthalein solution. A pale pink
colour is produced. Heat; gas is evolved and the colour becomes red.
B. It gives the reaction of carbonates and bicarbonates.
C. 1 mL of solution S gives reaction (b) of potassium.

TESTS
Solution S: Dissolve 5.0 g in 90 mL of carbon dioxide-free water prepared from distilled water and dilute to 100 mL with the same solvent.
Appearance of solution: Solution S is clear and colourless.
Carbonates: The pH of freshly prepared solution S is not greater than 8.6.
Chlorides: Maximum 150 ppm.
Sulfates: Maximum 150 ppm.
Ammonium: Maximum 20 ppm.
Calcium: Maximum 100 ppm.
Iron: Maximum 20 ppm, determined on solution S.
Sodium: Maximum 0.5 per cent.
Atomic emission spectrometry: To pass the test.
Heavy metals: Maximum 10 ppm.
