Ammonium sulfamate (CAS 7773 - 06 - 0) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NH₄SO₃NH₂. It appears as a white, odorless, and crystalline solid. This product is factory - supplied with a low price, making it an economically viable option for various industries. It has a molecular weight of approximately 114.13 g/mol. The melting point of ammonium sulfamate is around 131 - 135 °C. It is highly soluble in water, with solubility increasing with temperature.
1. Herbicide: Ammonium sulfamate is widely used as a non - selective herbicide. It can effectively control a variety of weeds and unwanted vegetation. It works by interfering with the plant's metabolic processes, eventually leading to the death of the targeted plants.
2. Metal Surface Treatment: In the metalworking industry, it is used for pickling and descaling of metals. It can remove rust, scale, and other impurities from the metal surface, preparing the metal for further processing such as plating or coating.
3. Flame Retardant: It can be incorporated into certain materials to improve their fire - resistant properties. This is particularly useful in the manufacturing of textiles, plastics, and wood products.
4. Analytical Chemistry: In laboratories, ammonium sulfamate is used as a reagent in various chemical analyses. For example, it can be used in the determination of nitrite in water samples.
Herbicide Application: When using ammonium sulfamate as a herbicide, it should be dissolved in water according to the recommended concentration. Usually, a solution of 10 - 20% ammonium sulfamate is used. The solution can be sprayed directly onto the foliage of the weeds. It is important to wear appropriate protective clothing, including gloves, goggles, and a mask, to avoid direct contact with the solution.
Metal Surface Treatment: For metal pickling and descaling, the metal parts are immersed in a solution of ammonium sulfamate. The concentration of the solution and the immersion time depend on the type and severity of the scale or rust. Generally, a concentration of 5 - 15% is used, and the immersion time can range from a few minutes to several hours.
Flame Retardant Incorporation: When used as a flame retardant, ammonium sulfamate is mixed with the base material during the manufacturing process. The amount added depends on the required level of fire resistance.
Case 1: Weed Control on a Golf Course: A golf course management team was facing a severe weed problem on the fairways. They decided to use ammonium sulfamate as a herbicide. They prepared a 15% solution of ammonium sulfamate and sprayed it on the affected areas. Within two weeks, the majority of the weeds had died, and the overall appearance of the fairways improved significantly. The team was able to save on labor costs associated with manual weeding and also achieved better results in terms of weed control.
Case 2: Metal Descaling in a Manufacturing Plant: A manufacturing plant that produces metal parts was experiencing issues with rust and scale on their products. They used a 10% ammonium sulfamate solution for descaling. By immersing the metal parts in the solution for 30 minutes, they were able to remove the rust and scale effectively. This improved the quality of the metal parts and reduced the rejection rate during the subsequent plating process.
