Ammonium chloride Applications


ArChem Ammonium chloride is used as a nitrogen supply in fertilizers and as an electrolyte in the dry cells. Other uses of ArChem Ammonium chloride include:

  • Medicine (especially in cough medicine) as an expectorant.
  • The glue helps to bond plywood.
  • Food additives (in bread making as a yeast nutrient).

Ammonium Chloride Production


Ammonium chloride is produced by the reaction of ammonia with hydrogen chloride.

NH3 + HCl → NH4Cl

It is also formed as the by-product of the Solvay Process. In this process, carbon dioxide and ammonia are passed into a cold saturated solution of sodium chloride.

CO2 + 2 NH3 + 2 NaCl + H2O → 2 NH4Cl + Na2CO3
