In 1791, French chemist Nicolas Leblanc prepared sodium carbonate, which laid the foundation for the synthesis of sodium bicarbonate. In 1801, the German pharmacologist Valentin Rose the Younger reported the discovery of sodium bicarbonate. In 1846, American bakers John Dwight and Austin Church established the first factory in the United States to produce sodium bicarbonate from sodium carbonate and carbon dioxide. In 1861, the Belgian chemist E. Solvay developed an industrial method for producing sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. In 1942, Hou Debang, a Chinese chemical expert, invented the combined caustic soda process based on the Solvay process. In addition to extracting from naturally mined minerals, most of the industrial sodium bicarbonate produced in the world is affected by the Solvay method.
