Ammonium Sulfate
Ammonium sulfate is an inorganic salt with a molecular formula of NH4 (2SO4) and a molar mass of 132.14 g/mol. This composition contains 21% of nitrogen and 24% of sulfurammonium sulfate, which is why it is a good chemical for making chemical fertilizers. Other names of this mineral salt are ammonium sulfur, ammonium tetraoxosulfate. Mascagnite and actamaster. Due to its ionic structure, It is highly soluble in water and increases the conductivity of water. This compound is a white, odorless solid at room temperature, and when dissolved in water, it lowers its pH to 5 and 6. This property of low acidity leads to its use in pH regulation.
Ammonium sulfate Applications
It applications is in agriculture, the use in food, in water purification, the use o in protein precipitation, Production of powder to extinguish fire. It is used in Paper pulp, Fabric production and textile industry, using in pharmaceutical Industries, chemical products leather tanning silk production, Animal feed, pH controller of solutions, Galvanizing, iron Production of hydrogen sulfide, It is applying in Production of drilling fluids Disinfectants and detergents.
This sulfate shape is in granule and normally packing in 25 or 50 kg sacks. Ammonium Sulfate can packed in jumbo bags as well.
