NH3 business and transportation
Description:
Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. It is the simplest pieniogen hydride. It is a colorless gas with a characteristic pungent odor. Ammonia is corrosive and toxic in concentrated form. It is classified as an extremely dangerous substance.
NH3 boils at -33.34°C (-28.012°F) at the pressure of one atmosphere, so liquid ammonia must be stored under pressure or at low temperature.
Some applications:
- Globally, about 88% of ammonia is used as a fertilizer as a salt solution. When applied to soil, it helps to provide increased yields of crops such as corn and wheat.
- Ammonia solutions of 16% to 25% are used in the fermentation industry as a nitrogen source for microorganisms and for pH adjustment during fermentation.
- Household ammonia is a solution of NH3 in water (i.e. ammonium hydroxide) used as a cleaning agent for many surfaces. Because ammonia produces a bright light. One of its most common uses is to clean glass, porcelain, and stainless steel. It is also commonly used to clean ovens and soak items to loosen dust. Household ammonia has concentrations of 5 to 10% ammonium.
Transport:
Industrial NH3 is sold as a solution of ammonia (usually 28% NH3 in water). Or liquid ammonia stored in liquid tanks transported by cars or containers.
