Ammonium Chloride Powder
-
USD 70.00 ~ USD 80.00/ton
500/ ton (Min. Order)
Ammonium Chloride Powder is a white, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. It is commonly used as a fertilizer due to its high nitrogen content, which is essential for plant growth. With the chemical formula NH₄Cl, ammonium chloride is produced by neutralizing ammonia with hydrochloric acid.
Ammonium Chloride (NH₄Cl) powder consists primarily of the following components:
-
Ammonium Ion (NH₄⁺): This is the positively charged ion (cation) derived from ammonia (NH₃). The ammonium ion is a source of nitrogen for plants, which is essential for their growth, particularly for leaf and stem development.
-
Chloride Ion (Cl⁻): The chloride ion is the negatively charged ion (anion) derived from hydrochloric acid (HCl). While chloride itself is not as crucial for plant growth as nitrogen, it does play a role in maintaining electrical neutrality in the soil and can be taken up by plants in small amounts.
Chemical Composition:
- Formula: NH₄Cl
- Molecular Weight: 53.5 g/mol
Impurities:
Ammonium chloride powder may contain trace impurities from the production process, but these are generally minimal in commercial-grade ammonium chloride. In agricultural applications, the purity is essential to avoid unwanted elements that could harm soil health.
When used as a fertilizer, ammonium chloride is valued for its high nitrogen content (about 24-25% nitrogen by weight), making it an effective and affordable option for promoting plant growth.
Applications in Planting:
-
Nitrogen Fertilizer: Ammonium chloride is a rich source of nitrogen, one of the essential macronutrients for plants. Nitrogen promotes healthy leaf and stem development, making it particularly beneficial for leafy crops like lettuce, spinach, and other vegetables.
-
Soil pH Adjustment: It can be used to slightly acidify the soil, which is advantageous in alkaline soils where some plants may struggle to absorb nutrients. However, it should be used cautiously to avoid excessive acidity.
-
Growth Promotion: Plants that require high nitrogen levels, such as corn and wheat, benefit from ammonium chloride, which helps enhance growth and increase yield.
-
Foliage Fertilizer: It's also used in foliar feeding, where the nutrient solution is sprayed directly onto the leaves for rapid absorption.
