Ammonia
General
Ammonia
Ammonia, also known as azane, is a colorless, pungent gas composed of
nitrogen and hydrogen. It is the simplest stable compound of these
elements and serves as a starting material for the production of many
commercially important nitrogen compounds. Ammonia is highly soluble
in water to become liquid ammonia. It is one of the most abundant
nitrogen-containing compounds in the atmosphere. It has various uses
as a fertilizer, refrigerant, cleaner, and chemical building block.
Please note that ammonia is a poisonous gas and should be handled with
care.
Ammonia has a wide range of uses across various industries. Here are
some of them:
- Industry: Ammonia is used extensively in several industries. It is
used either as a stabilizer, neutralizer or as a source of nitrogen
to carry out several functions. Ammonia is used in wastewater
treatment, leather, rubber, paper, food and beverage industries. It
also is used in cold storage, refrigeration systems and in the
production of pharmaceuticals. Ammonia is used in the printing as
well as cosmetics industries. It is also used in fermentation. - Agriculture: Ammonia is used mainly in Agricultural industries.
About 90 % of all ammonia produced is used in this field. Since
ammonia acts as a rich source of nitrogen and other elements, it is
used in fertilizers to basically sustain food production. It is also
used in the production of liquid fertilizer solutions consisting of
compounds like ammonium nitrate, salts, urea and others. And there’s
more. Ammonia is often used as an antifungal agent on certain fruits
and as preservatives. - Household Products: Ammonia is one of the main ingredients in a lot
of household cleaning products. It is used as a cleaning agent and
can be used to remove stains or clean mirrors, tubs, sinks, windows
and more. Some other uses include antimicrobial agent or an
antiseptic, and ammonia is also used as a fuel. - Manufacturing Various Compounds: We find uses of Ammonia in the
manufacturing of a number of compounds like nitric acid, Hydrogen
cyanide, Ammonium carbonate, Phenol, Urea, Amino acids, and a lot of
other items. - Metal Treating: Here dissociated ammonia is used in operations like
carbo nitriding, nitriding, furnace brazing, bright annealing,
sintering, atomic hydrogen welding and other operations. - Petroleum and Mining: In the petroleum industry ammonia is utilized
in counterbalancing the acid constituents of oil which is in crude
form. Please note that while ammonia is found in many products,
prolonged or high exposure can be harmful. Always handle products
containing ammonia with care.

Cyclohexylamine
General
Cyclohexylamine
Cyclohexylamine is a member of the aliphatic amine family, an organic compound that boasts a colorless liquid form. Although, like many amines, the presence of contaminants can result in the liquid exhibiting a color. Its distinct fishy odor, coupled with its ability to mix seamlessly with water, make it stand out among other amines. While not as strong a base as sodium hydroxide, it still outperforms its aromatic counterpart, aniline. Thanks to its unique properties, Cyclohexylamine serves as a crucial intermediate in the production of a wide range of other organic compounds.
