Description

Ammonium Chloride Untreated

Ammonium Chloride Untreated is a white, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. It is a common source of nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plant growth, and has a variety of industrial applications. “Untreated” signifies that the ammonium chloride hasn’t undergone any specific processing or modifications, such as changes in particle size, addition of flow agents, or alterations to its crystal structure, for specialized applications. It is the base form of the chemical.

Key Uses:

Fertilizer: Ammonium chloride is a nitrogenous fertilizer, providing readily available nitrogen to plants. It is particularly beneficial for certain crops, including rice and vegetables, and in acidic soils. It is important to follow recommended application rates to avoid potential harm to plants or the environment.

Industrial Applications:

• Metalworking: Used as a flux in soldering, tinning, and galvanizing. It cleans metal surfaces by removing oxides, allowing for better adhesion of the solder or coating.
• Battery Manufacturing: A key component in the production of dry cell batteries (Leclanché cells). It acts as an electrolyte.
• Chemical Manufacturing: Used as a reagent in various chemical reactions and manufacturing processes. It serves as a precursor to other ammonium compounds and is involved in the synthesis of various chemicals.
• Dyes and Textiles: Used as a mordant in some dyeing processes, helping to fix dyes to fabrics. It also finds application in textile printing.
• Leather Tanning: Used in the tanning process of leather.

Other Applications:

• Pharmaceuticals: Used in some pharmaceutical formulations as an expectorant in cough medicines, helping to loosen mucus. It is also used in some diuretics.
• Animal Feed: Used as a feed supplement for some animals, particularly ruminants, as a source of nitrogen. It can also help prevent urinary calculi in some animals.
• Laboratory Reagent: Used in various laboratory settings as a reagent in chemical reactions and analyses.
