Overview

XRD Chemical is a professional Ammonium Chloride manufacturer and supplier in China, offering high-purity ammonium chloride (99.5% min) for fertilizer, metal treatment, food processing, and industrial applications.

Ammonium chloride is an inorganic salt with the formula NH₄Cl and a molecular weight of 53.49 g/mol. It appears as a white crystalline powder with a slightly acidic taste and is highly soluble in water, with solubility increasing significantly with temperature. It is produced primarily by reacting ammonia with hydrochloric acid or as a byproduct of the Solvay soda ash process.

The primary application of ammonium chloride is as a nitrogen fertilizer for rice, wheat, and other crops, particularly in paddy fields where its ammonia form reduces nitrogen losses. In metal treatment, it serves as a flux for soldering, brazing, and galvanizing to clean metal surfaces by removing oxide coatings. As a food additive (E510), food-grade ammonium chloride is used in bread making as a yeast nutrient and in licorice production for its distinctive salty taste. Additional applications include use as an electrolyte in dry cell batteries, a curing agent in foundry resins, a mordant in textile dyeing, and a feed additive for ruminant nutrition.

FAQ

Q What is Ammonium Chloride?

Ammonium Chloride (NH₄Cl) is a white crystalline inorganic salt with a molecular weight of 53.49 g/mol. It is highly soluble in water and produced by reacting ammonia with hydrochloric acid or as a byproduct of soda ash manufacturing. It is widely used in fertilizers, metal treatment, food processing, batteries, and industrial applications.

Q How is ammonium chloride used as a fertilizer?

Ammonium chloride is an effective nitrogen fertilizer containing approximately 25% nitrogen. It is particularly suitable for rice paddies and flooded soils where the ammonium form of nitrogen is more stable and less prone to losses compared to nitrate fertilizers. It is also used for crops that tolerate chloride, such as coconut, oil palm, and certain forage crops. Its acidifying effect on soil makes it beneficial in alkaline and calcareous soils.

Q How is ammonium chloride used in metal treatment?

In metal treatment, ammonium chloride is a key component of soldering, brazing, and galvanizing fluxes. When heated, it decomposes to release hydrogen chloride gas that removes metal oxides from surfaces, allowing clean metal-to-metal contact. It is used in both liquid and paste flux formulations and is essential for achieving strong, reliable soldered and brazed joints in electronics, plumbing, and metal fabrication.

Q What is food-grade ammonium chloride (E510) used for?

Food-grade ammonium chloride (E510) is approved for use as a yeast nutrient in bread making, where it provides nitrogen for yeast growth and fermentation. It is also famous for giving salty licorice its distinctive strong, sharp taste in Nordic and Dutch confectionery. In some cheese cultures, it serves as a nitrogen source for bacterial fermentation. Food-grade material meets FCC and EU food additive specifications.

Q What other industrial applications does ammonium chloride have?

Beyond fertilizer and metal treatment, ammonium chloride is used as an electrolyte in zinc-carbon dry cell batteries, a curing agent for phenolic resins in foundry sand cores, a mordant in textile dyeing and printing, a feed additive supplying non-protein nitrogen for ruminants, and an auxiliary agent in various chemical manufacturing processes including the production of quaternary ammonium compounds.
