Ammoniumszulfátként

Ammoniumszulfátként is the Hungarian name for ammonium sulfate, a chemical compound with the formula (NH₄)₂SO₄. It is an inorganic salt that exists as a white crystalline solid. Ammonium sulfate is highly soluble in water and is not soluble in alcohol. Its primary uses are as a fertilizer and in some industrial applications.

As a fertilizer, ammonium sulfate provides both nitrogen and sulfur to plants. Nitrogen is essential for vegetative growth and chlorophyll production, while sulfur is crucial for amino acid synthesis and enzyme activity. It is particularly effective for crops that require a significant amount of sulfur, such as legumes, oilseeds, and brassicas. It can be applied to the soil directly or dissolved in water for irrigation.

Industrially, ammonium sulfate has various applications. It is used in the production of flame retardants, as a component in some pharmaceuticals, and in the food industry as a dough conditioner and acidity regulator. It can also be found in some veterinary medicines and as a laboratory reagent for protein precipitation. Due to its chemical properties, it can also be used in tanning leather and in the manufacture of dyes. The production of ammonium sulfate typically involves reacting ammonia with sulfuric acid.
