Ammonium sulfate is an excellent fertilizer (commonly known as ammonium sulfate), suitable for general soil and crop, the growth of branches and leaves is exuberant, improve fruit quality and yield, enhance the ability to resist disasters crop, can be used as base fertilizer, fertilizer and manure, but long-term use may cause soil compaction. Can double decomposition reaction for manufacturing ammonium chloride and salt, and aluminum sulfate reacts with boric acid ammonium alum, together producing refractory materials. With the addition of conductive to electroplating solution. Food also Caramel catalyst, nitrogen source for yeast culture yeast production, help to dye dyeing acid dyes, leather deliming agent. In addition, also used in beer brewing, chemical reagents and battery production. There is a important role in the exploitation of rare earth mine, using ammonium sulfate as raw material, using ion exchange form of rare earth elements in the mineral soil exchange, then collect leaching solution simple filtration separation dry after a rare earth ore, each producing 1 metric tons of rare earth ore mining about 5 tons of ammonium sulfate.

Risk overview

Pathways: inhalation, ingestion, absorption through the skin.

Health hazards: irritating to the eyes, mucous membranes and skin.

Environmental hazards: the long-term use can cause soil acidification harden phenomenon.

Fire and explosion hazards: This product is nonflammable, irritating.

First aid measures

Skin contact: remove contaminated clothing, wash with plenty of water flow.

Eye contact: mention "eyelid", flush with water flow or "saline". Medical treatment.

Inhalation: from the scene to fresh air. Such as "breathing", give oxygen. Medical treatment.

Ingestion: drink plenty of warm water, emetic. Medical treatment.

Fire fighting measures

Hazardous characteristics: heat decomposition of toxic gas.

Hazardous combustion products: nitrogen oxides, sulfides.

Fire extinguishing method: fire personnel must wear the body fire protective clothing, fire in the wind. When the fire as far as possible the vessels to an open area.

Emergency treatment

Emergency treatment: the isolation of contaminated area, restricted access. Recommended emergency personnel wearing a dust mask (mask), wearing protective clothing. With the shovel clean collected in dry, clean, covered containers, transfer to a safe place. If a large number of leaks, collection and recycling or shipped to the disposal of waste disposal sites.

Handling and storage

Matters needing attention: closed operation, local exhaust. The operator must go through specialized training, strictly abide by the rules. Recommended operating personnel wear self absorption filter anti-dust masks, wear chemical "safety goggles", wear protective overalls on infiltration, wearing rubber gloves. "". Avoid dust. Avoid contact with acids, alkalis. When moving to light light unloading, prevent damage to packaging and containers. Equipped with the "emergency" leak equipment. May be left empty containers of hazardous substances.

Storage note: store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. "". Away from the fire source, "". Should be kept separate from the acid, alkali, avoid mixing reservoir. Storage areas should be equipped with appropriate materials asylum leakage.
