Application

Descriptions:

• Ammonium acetate is a white crystalline solid.

• Ammonium acetate is hygroscopic.

• Ammonium acetate can be derived from the reaction of ammomia and acetic acid.

• In case of leakage, immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment.

Uses:

For food additive

• Ammonium acetate can be used as a food additive as an acidity regulator, preservative, etc.

For medical use

• Ammonium acetate is the main precursor to acetamide.

• Ammonium acetate can be also used as a diuretic.

• Ammonium acetate can be used as a protein precipitating reagent.

For industrial use

• Ammonium acetate is occasionally employed as a biodegradable de-icing agent.

• Ammonium acetate is useful as a catalyst in the knoevenagel condensation and as a source of ammonia in the Borch reaction in organic synthesis.

For agricultural chemistry

• Ammonium acetate can be used as reagent for determination of soil CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity) and determination of available potassium in soil, ammonium ion is act as an replacement cation.
