Ammonium sulfate is a white crystal, chemical formula (NH4)2SO4, molecular weight 132.14, usually in the form of saturated solution, is an important chemical substance. It has strong hydrolysis and weak acidity, and is a good adsorbent in gas-liquid system. Ammonium sulfate is divided into two kinds of ordinary ammonium sulfate and refined ammonium sulfate, the latter is an aqueous solution, that is, a colorless, transparent liquid containing 30%, which will form crystals under wet conditions. There are usually two production processes for

ammonium sulfate, the first is through the reaction of sulfuric acid and ammonia, and the second is through the reaction of ammonia and sulfuric acid under the action of a catalyst. Ammonium sulfate as a widely used chemical substances, there are many specific application areas, here we come to explore:

1. agricultural use: ammonium sulfate in agriculture is mainly used as nitrogen fertilizer, can improve soil fertility, promote plant growth and development. Ammonium sulfate has a high nitrogen content and can provide sufficient nutrients for crops. Ammonium sulfate is a kind of nitrogen fertilizer. It is popular for its low price and portability, and is suitable for various types of plants.

2. gunpowder manufacturing: Ammonium sulfate can also be used in gunpowder manufacturing, especially in the manufacturing process of black powder. In this process, ammonium sulfate needs to be mixed with other chemicals such as charcoal and nitric acid. Ammonium sulfate here plays the role of nitrogen source to promote the explosive properties of gunpowder.

3. Industrial use: Ammonium sulfate can be used as an additive in the production process of textile, leather and pharmaceutical industries. In the process of tanning, ammonium sulfate can reduce the fat and other impurities in animal leather, make the leather color brighter, and several chemical reactions can be better carried out. In addition, ammonium sulfate is also suitable for dehydration and decolorization tasks in various industrial environments.
