This report presents a detailed cost analysis of sodium bicarbonate manufacturing process via Solvay process. The Solvay process produces sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and ammonium chloride as a byproduct using carbon dioxide and brine (sodium chloride solution), with ammonia as a crucial reactant. Ammonia is absorbed in brine, and carbon dioxide is bubbled through this solution to form ammonium carbonate. This reacts with sodium chloride to precipitate sodium bicarbonate, which is then filtered out to obtain the pure product. The remaining solution contains ammonium chloride.
