What is it used for?
Applications & Reactions
How Liquid Ammonia (NH₄OH) is used across industries, with the key chemistry explained simply.
Industrial Cleaning & Degreasing
Alkaline solution cuts through oils, greases, and protein residues. Widely used in metal part cleaning, circuit board processing, and food-plant sanitation.
Alkaline release
NH₄OH → NH₃↑ + H₂O
Textile & Leather Processing
Controls pH during dyeing and finishing operations. Helps fix dyes onto fibres and neutralise acid residues from previous processing stages.
Water Treatment & pH Control
Added to acidic process water to neutralise it before discharge. The equilibrium keeps pH stable without over-shooting into high-alkalinity zones.
Weak base equilibrium
NH₄OH ⇌ NH₄⁺ + OH⁻
Chemical Synthesis
Feedstock for the production of amines, rubber chemicals, and pharmaceutical intermediates. Also used as a complexing agent in metal extraction.
