| Application: | Potassium bicarbonate can be used as: • A catalyst to synthesize dimethyl carbonate and propylene glycol from propylene oxide, supercritical carbon dioxide, and methanol. In this process, KHCO3 also acts as a drying agent. • A dopant in the epoxidation of propene in the presence of silica-supported vanadium oxide as a catalyst. • A carboxyl source to synthesize Z-5-alkylidene-2-oxazolid |
| General description: | Potassium bicarbonate is a commercially available nontoxic base frequently used as a reagent as well as a pH regulator in research and industrial applications. |
