What is Ammonium Hydroxide?
Ammonium Hydroxide or NH₄OH, also known as Aqueous Ammonia, is produced when Ammonia gas is combined with water, creating a colorless solution with a distinctive odor. Aqueous Ammonia is a weak base. Because Aqueous Ammonia dissolves many substances, is a good cleaner, and aids in regulating pH levels, it is adopted in many sectors.
Common Applications
- Chemical Manufacturing: A precursor to the production of numerous ammonium salts.
- Pharmaceuticals: Acts as a pH modifier and reactant while formulating the medicines.
- Water Treatment: Contributes to acidity regulation and wastewater neutralization.
- Textile Industry: Used in the dyeing of textiles and their subsequent treatments.
- Household & Industrial Cleaners: Used extensively in the removal of grease and stains from various surfaces.
- Electronics: For the manufacture of semiconductors and their cleaning, Aqueous Ammonia is included.
- Food Processing: Aqueous Ammonia is permitted under strict regulations for control of acidity and cleansing.
