Ammonium sulfate

Ammonium sulfate is a white, crystalline, odorless solid at room temperature, highly soluble in water and non-volatile, with a melting point of approximately 235 °C (decomposes). It is an inorganic salt composed of ammonium cations and sulfate anions. Primarily used as a nitrogen–sulfur fertilizer in agriculture, it also serves as a flame retardant in textiles and wood products, a food additive (acidity regulator and dough conditioner), and a laboratory reagent for protein precipitation and crystallization. Its applications span agrochemicals, food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and biochemical research.

Ammonium sulfate is a typical Nitrogen-based, water-soluble, and fast acting fertilizer, for various soil and crop. It is used largely as an artificial fertilizer for alkaline soils. In the soil the ammonium ion is released and forms a small amount of acid, lowering the pH balance of the soil , while contributing essential nitrogen for plant growth.For the analysis reagents, also for protein precipitation.Used as flux, fire retardant in textile fabric industry, as the salting-out agent, osmotic pressure regulating agents in medicine.Used as raw materials of hydrogen peroxide , ammonium chloride, ammonium alum and production in chemical industry, as a flux in the welding industry.Used as plating bath additives in electroplating industry.Used as dough modifier, yeast nutrients in food grade product.Ammonium sulfate is also used as an agricultural spray adjuvant for water soluble insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. There it functions to bind iron and calcium cations that are present in both well water and plant cells.
