Ammonium Carbonate

Application of Ammonium Carbonate

Ammonium Carbonate is a white crystalline solid. It is soluble in water(37%). The primary hazard is the threat posed to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. It is used to make other ammonium compounds, as a soldering flux, as a fertilizer, and for many other uses.

Mechanism of Action

It provides a source of nitrogen (N) for plants when used as a fertilizer.

Its mechanism of action involves the release of ammonium ions (NH4+) and chloride ions (Cl-) in the soil.

In soldering applications, ammonium chloride acts as a flux.

Benefits of Ammonium Carbonate

Its benefits in agriculture include promoting healthy plant growth, improving crop yields, and enhancing the quality of agricultural products.

It acts as a flux, facilitating the soldering process by removing metal oxides from the surfaces to be joined.

This results in stronger and more reliable solder joints in electronic and metalworking applications.
