Ammonium chloride, abbreviated as ammonium chloride, is a kind ofInorganic, chemical formula is NHfourCl,Meanshydrochloric acidOfammonium salt, most of which are by-products of soda industry.Nitrogen content 24%~26%, white or yellowish square orOctahedronSmall crystal, available in powder and granular form, granular ammonium chloride is not easy to absorb moisture and is easy to store, while powdered ammonium chloride is mostly used as basic fertilizer for compound fertilizer production.genusPhysiological acid fertilizer, which is not suitable forAcid soilandsaline-alkali soilUpper application, not suitable forSeed fertilizer, seedling field fertilizer orleaf fertilizerAnd should not be used in chlorine sensitive crops (such astobacco、Potato、citrus、tea plantEtc.).Ammonium chloride has a high and stable fertilizer effect in paddy field, because chlorine can not only inhibit nitrification in paddy field, but also help to form rice stem fiber, increase toughness, and reduce rice lodging and disease and insect invasion.[1]
October 2023On the 5th, American scientists found evidence of the sixth basic taste, which is "ammonium chloride".[11]
The aqueous solution is weakly acidic, and the acidity increases when heated.It is corrosive to ferrous metals and other metals, especially copper, and has no corrosive effect on pig iron.
The product mainly has two production processes: first, it was invented by Hou Debang, a famous Chinese scientistHou's soda process, simultaneous productionSoda ashAnd ammonium chloride;Second, productionPotassium carbonateAnd other potash by-products.Ammonium chloride is easy to caking, and anti caking agent is usually added to prevent the product from caking.
Colorless crystal or white granular powderStrong electrolyte, dissolved in water and ionized outAmmonium ionandChloride ion,ammoniaandHydrogen chlorideThere will be white smoke when ammonium chloride is formed.Odorless.It tastes salty, cool and slightly bitter.Low hygroscopicity, but it can also absorb moisture and agglomerate in wet and rainy weather.Powdered ammonium chloride is very easy to deliquescence, especially for qualified products. The hygroscopic point is generally about 76%. When the relative humidity in the air is greater than the hygroscopic point, ammonium chloride will absorb moisture and become caked easily.It can sublimate (actually the process of decomposition and regeneration of ammonium chloride) without melting point.The relative density is 1.5274.The refractive index is 1.642.Low toxicity, median lethal dose (rat, oral) 1650 mg/kg.Irritating.Heating to 350 ℃ sublimation, boiling point 520 ℃.
Easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, soluble inliquid ammonia, insoluble inacetoneandEther。Hydrochloric acid andsodium chlorideIt can reduce its solubility in water, which is 29.4g at 0 ℃, 33.2g at 10 ℃, 37.2g at 20 ℃, 41.4g at 30 ℃, 45.8g at 40 ℃, 50.4g at 50 ℃, 55.3g at 60 ℃, 60.2g at 70 ℃, 65.6g at 80 ℃, 71.2g at 90 ℃, and 77.3g at 100 ℃.When heated to 100 ℃, it starts to decompose. At 337.8 ℃, it can be completely decomposed into ammonia and hydrogen chloride. When it is cold, it can be combined again to produce ammonium chloride with very small particles, which presents white thick smoke. It is not easy to sink, and it is extremely difficult to dissolve in water again.
PH of aqueous solution: because the ammonium ion ionized in water is hydrolyzed, the solution is acidic and saturated at room temperatureAmmonium chloride solutionThe pH value is generally about 5.6.At 25 ℃, 1% is 5.5, 3% is 5.1, and 10% is 5.0.Ammonium chloride itself can be used as a stabilizing agent for bismuth and antimony (providing chloride ion for coordination, and co dissolving its compound with ammonium chloride inDilute hydrochloric acidMedium).
chemical property
1. The aqueous solution is weakly acidic, and the acidity increases when heated.Corrosive to ferrous metals and other metals, especiallycopperGreater corrosionpig ironNo corrosion;When ammonia is mixed with hydrogen chloride, white smoke will be generated, which is ammonium chloride;
2. It is easy to decompose when heated:
This reaction is reversible, and the two substances will combine again to form ammonium chloride at the same time.
3. Reaction with sulfuric acid:
Total reaction formula:[4]
Ammonium chloride is an ionic compound, which is easily soluble in water and ionizes out ammonium and chloride ions in water.stayMelting state, forming freely movableAmmonium radicalAnd chloride ions, which can conduct electricity.
The radius of ammonium chloride is 143pm, which is close to that of potassium ion (133pm) andrubidiumThe radius of ion (149pm), so the properties of ammonium salt are similar to alkali metal salts, and they are often isomorphic with potassium salt and rubidium salt, and have similar solubility.
The cell type of ammonium chloride isCesium chlorideType, i.e. simple cubic stacking of chloride ions,Ammonium ionFill in all the cubic voids, which are cubic crystal systems,Simple cubic cell。
Preparation method
1. Recrystallization method: add the crude ammonium chloride into the dissolver, dissolve it with steam, filter it, cool and crystallize the filtrate, centrifugate and dry it to produce the finished industrial ammonium chloride.Centrifuged mother liquor is returned to the dissolver for use;
2. Double decomposition method: first, add ammonium chloride mother liquor into the reactor and heat it to 105 ℃, then add ammonium sulfate and table salt, carry out double decomposition reaction at 117 ℃ to generate ammonium chloride solution and sodium sulfate crystal, filter and separate to remove sodium sulfate, send saturated ammonium chloride solution to cooling crystallizer, cool it to 32~35 ℃ to precipitate crystals, filter,Rinse the crystals with four different concentrations of ammonium chloride solution, and control Fe<0.008%,<0.001%, after rinsing to be qualified, use ammonium chloride solution to re mix the crystal into slurry, send it to a centrifuge for separation and dehydration, and then dry it with hot air to produce industrial ammonium chloride products.Mother liquor is sent to the metathesis reactor for recycling.The filtered sodium sulfate is used to produce sodium sulfate;
3. The gas-liquid phase synthesis method passes the hydrogen chloride gas from the bottom of the turbulent absorption tower, contacts with the circulating mother liquor sprayed on the tower top, generates the ammonium chloride mother liquor saturated with hydrogen chloride, flows into the reactor, neutralizes with the ammonia gas, and generates the saturated ammonium chloride solution.Send toCooling mouldAfter cooling to 30-45 ℃, supersaturated ammonium chloride crystals are precipitated.Send the ammonium chloride solution at the upper part of the crystallizer to the air cooler for cooling and circulation to the crystallizer;The lower crystal slurry is thickened by a thickener and centrifuged to obtain finished ammonium chloride.The mother liquor separated by centrifugation is sent to the turbulent absorption tower for recycling;[2]

Ammonium chloride can dissipate phlegm and relieve cough
① Ammonium chloride enters the body, and some ammonium ions are quickly metabolized by the liver to form urea, which is excreted by urine.Chlorine ion combines with hydrogen to form hydrochloric acid, thus correcting alkali poisoning.
② Due to the chemical stimulation of mucosa, the amount of sputum is reflexively increased, which makes the sputum easy to be discharged, so it is conducive to the removal of a small amount of sticky sputum that is not easy to cough up.After the product is absorbed, chloride ions enter the blood and extracellular fluid to acidify the urine.
