Ammonium carbonate CH8N2O3 CAS: 506-87-6 Analytical reagents , fertilizers, detergents, tbuffers, neutralizing, swelling , fermentation promoters
Basic information
Nature
1. Appearance: ammonium carbonate is white crystalline powder or granular solid.
2. Soluble: soluble in water, but insoluble in alcohol and ether.
3. Stability: ammonium carbonate is relatively stable in the air, but it decomposes at high temperatures to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide.
Ues
1. Fertilizer: Ammonium carbonate is commonly used as nitrogen fertilizer and is used in agriculture to promote plant growth.
2. Food additives: In the food industry, ammonium carbonate is used as baking soda and leavening agent.
3. Chemical experiments: ammonium carbonate is often used in neutralization reactions in chemical experiments, and can also be used to adjust the pH value of the solution.
Safety information
1. Ammonium carbonate will decompose and produce toxic ammonia when heated, so high temperature operation should be avoided.
2. Ammonium carbonate can cause irritating odor, so it is necessary to maintain good ventilation during operation, and avoid contact with eyes and skin.
3. When storing and handling ammonium carbonate, care should be taken to prevent contact with acid substances or organic matter, so as not to produce dangerous substances or cause fire.
4. Ammonium carbonate should be stored in dry, clean containers, away from fire sources and combustibles.
Storage and transportation
Transportation precautions
Close operation and strengthen ventilation. Operators must undergo specialized training and strictly adhere to operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filter type dust masks to avoid generating dust. When handling, it is important to load and unload with care to prevent damage to the packaging and containers.
Storage precautions
1. Store in a cool, dry, and well ventilated warehouse. Stay away from sparks and heat sources. Prevent direct sunlight. Packaging sealing.
2. It should be stored separately from acids and edible chemicals, and mixed storage should be avoided. The storage area should be equipped with appropriate materials to contain leaked materials.
