Description
Ammonium sulfate has wide-ranging applications and significant application value in the chemical, metallurgical, fuel, and agricultural industries; the production activities of this product are derived from a weighted average of 'coke', 'natural gas, coal-based synthetic', and 'Ammonium sulfate, ammonia-based process'; if the specific production process of ammonium sulfate is not clearly defined, this dataset can be used. For detailed technical descriptions, system boundaries, and related information, please refer to various production datasets for ammonium sulfate. Infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and facility construction is not included within the system boundary of this dataset.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product are weighted averages of "coke", "natural gas, coal-based synthetic", and "ammonium sulfate, ammonia process".
Process Description
Ammonium sulfate is a white crystalline solid with a bitter taste and no odor, and it has strong hygroscopicity. Its CAS number is 7783-20-2, molecular formula is (NH4)2SO4, molecular weight is 132.14, and density is 1.77 g/cm³. Ammonium sulfate is readily soluble in water, and its aqueous solution exhibits weak acidity and has certain corrosive properties. Ammonium sulfate has high thermal stability and does not easily decompose, but at high temperatures it decomposes to release toxic gases. Ammonium sulfate has wide-ranging applications and holds significant value in the chemical, metallurgical, fuel, and agricultural industries.
