Applications
•
In the manufacture of Explosives
Ammonium Nitrate and Nitrite, Nitroglycerine, Tri-Nitrotoluene, Nitrocellulose
and other Nitrogen Compounds used in the manufacture of Explosives.
•
Manufacture of
chemicals like Methylamines, Monoethylamine, Melamine,
Amino-Resins, Cynamides, Fertilizers, Petrochemical Products, etc.
•
As a
refrigerant in both compression and absorption system. Certain
characteristics of Ammonia such as high latent heat, low vapour density,
chemical stability, low corrosion to iron parts promote its use in large
industrial installations.
•
In Pulp and Paper
Industry For pulping of wood and as a dispersant for casin in the
coating of paper industry.
•
In the Metal Industry
For retaining of scrap metal. In the extraction of certain metals e.g. copper,
nickel, molybdenum and tungsten from their ores. In metal treating where
cracked ammonia is used as a reducing atmosphere for the bright annealing of
stainless steels, nickel and its alloys for reduction of metal oxides.
•
Nitriding of steel
for case-hardening.
•
As a corrosion
inhibitor at petroleum refineries and natural gas plant and to
neutralise the acid constituents of oil, thereby protecting refinery equipment.
•
In the Rubber Industry
For the stabilization of natural rubber and synthetic latex to prevent
coagulation during transportation and storage.
•
In Food and Beverages
industries As a source of Nitrogen required for the growth of
yeast and micro-organisms. Also to include pH control in the yeast production.
As ammoniating agent for glycerizing, extractant, for bitter principles and
source of Nitrogen for ruminant feeding when properly mixed with molasses.
•
In Leather Industries
As airing agent in making leather and as a slime and mould in preventing
tanning liquors, in the manufacture of Moth-proofing and other protective
agents for furs and hides.
•
Synthetic drugs
manufacture In the manufacture of pharmaceuticals such as
Sulfanilamide, Sulfathiazole, Sulfapyrridine and other Sulfadrugs.
Antibacterial Agents, Vitamins, Antimalarials, Methionine and other Aminoacids
and of Denitrifrices, Lotions and Cosmetics.
•
In the manufacture of
household Ammonia Detergents and Cleansers.
•
In combination with
chlorine to purify industrial and municipal water supplies and as
an Oxygen Scavanger in treating and boiler feed water.
•
Ammonia blue printing
•
In production of
Nitrogen Dioxide required for converting Sulphur Dioxide in lead
chamber process for manufacturing Sulphuric Acid.
•
In Alkali Industry
in the production of Soda-Ash (Solvay Process).
•
In the manufacture of
Caprolactam, Urea etc.
•
In the manufacture of
Rocket Fuels.
•
In the manufacture of
Nitric Acid, Liquor Ammonia.
•
In the manufacture of
numerous organic and inorganic chemicals such as Cyanides, Amides, Nitrites and
Dye Intermediates.
