Properties and Usage:
Ammonium sulfite is a colorless crystal or white powder with the chemical formula (NH₄)₂SO₃, which has a variety of industrial and chemical applications. The following are the main application areas of ammonium sulfite:
1. Water treatment: Ammonium sulfite is often used as a reducing agent in water treatment processes, especially in deoxygenation and dechlorination applications. It can effectively remove oxygen and chlorine from water, thereby preventing corrosion and other related problems.
2. Photographic industry: In traditional photographic processes, ammonium sulfite is used as part of the developer, mainly for the stability and control of the developer.
3. Textile and dye industry: Ammonium sulfite can be used as a textile bleaching agent and a reducing agent for dyes, helping the dyes to adhere more evenly to the fibers.
4. Food chemical industry: Ammonium sulfite is used as a food additive in some countries, acting as a preservative and antioxidant to extend the shelf life of food. However, the scope and dosage of its use in food are strictly regulated.
5. Chemical synthesis: Ammonium sulfite is also used as a reducing agent in certain chemical reactions.
Reducing Agents: Ammonium sulfite is often used as a reducing agent, especially in chemical reactions to reduce oxidants or remove excess oxygen.
Acidic Detergents: It can be used as a buffer or neutralizer in acidic detergents to help adjust the pH of the detergent.
Storage conditions: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
Packing: This product is packed in 25kg 100kg bags, and it can also be customized according to customers' requirements
