Ammonium Sulfate
Ammonium Sulfate: A Key Chemical for Agriculture and Industry
Ammonium sulfate is a widely used chemical in both agricultural and industrial applications. As a source of nitrogen, it is primarily used in fertilizers to promote plant growth. It is a highly soluble compound and serves as a vital source of nutrients for various crops. In addition to its agricultural uses, it is utilized in industrial processes, including water treatment and as a chemical reagent.
Faragam Company offers high-quality ammonium sulphate for a wide range of applications. Our product meets international standards, ensuring reliable performance for our customers in various industries.
What Is Ammonium Sulfate?
(NH₄)₂SO₄ is a white, crystalline solid that contains 21% nitrogen and 24% sulfur by weight. It is commonly produced by neutralizing ammonia with sulfuric acid. Due to its high nitrogen content, it is an essential component in fertilizers, particularly for crops that require high levels of nitrogen.
The chemical composition and properties make it a versatile product, suitable for agricultural, industrial, and environmental applications.
Chemical Composition
| Component | Percentage (%) |
|---|---|
| Nitrogen (N) | 21% |
| Sulfur (S) | 24% |
| Water (H₂O) | 0-1% |
| Ammonium Ion (NH₄) | 100% |
Applications of Ammonium Sulfate
-
Agriculture:
It is predominantly used in fertilizers to provide essential nutrients to crops. It is especially effective for crops like corn, cotton, and wheat, which require nitrogen for optimal growth. -
Industrial Use:
Beyond agriculture, plays a key role in various industries. It is used in the production of flame retardants, water treatment, and even as a pH regulator in certain chemical processes. -
Water Treatment:
It is used in water treatment to remove heavy metals, impurities, and other contaminants. It helps in flocculation and coagulation, enhancing the efficiency of water filtration. -
Chemical Manufacturing:
It is also a critical ingredient in the production of chemicals such as ammonium nitrate and other nitrogen-based compounds used in explosives and fertilizers.
