Ammonium Sulphate (NH₄)₂SO₄
Ammonium sulphate is a white crystalline salt primarily used as a nitrogen fertilizer, but also plays key roles in industries like chemicals, textiles, food processing, and pharmaceuticals.
🔍 Sources of Ammonium Sulphate
🔹 1. By-Product Recovery
Caprolactam production (nylon industry) – Major industrial source
(e.g., GSFC, Gujarat; RCF, Maharashtra)
Coke oven gas processing (steel plants)
Flue gas desulfurization from power plants and waste incinerators
🔹 2. Synthetic Production

🏭 Applications of Ammonium Sulphate in Different Industries
Industry Application How It’s Used
🌾 Agriculture Nitrogen fertilizer (21% N) Widely used in acidic and alkaline soils; promotes leaf growth
🧪 Chemical Industry Raw material Used to produce ammonium persulfate, sulphamic acid
🧵 Textile Industry Dye fixative Helps in mordanting; neutralizes alkaline residues
🧫 Pharmaceuticals / Lab Protein purification 'Salting out' agent in biotech and research labs
🧼 Detergents / Personal Care Additive Buffers pH in cosmetics, shampoos
🍲 Food Processing (limited) Additive (E517) pH regulator in bread & processed foods (regulated use)
🧯 Fire Extinguishers Powder formulation Ingredient in dry chemical fire suppressants
🏭 Leather & Tanning pH controller Used in pickling process in tanneries
📘 Product Grades & Forms
Grade Use Case
Fertilizer Grade Granular or Crystalline (most common)
Technical Grade Industrial, textile, chemical synthesis
Reagent/Pharma Grade Laboratory and biotech use
🌿 Agricultural Benefits
Supplies nitrogen (N) and sulphur (S) – essential nutrients for crop growth.
Suitable for alkaline soils – slightly acidifies soil, helping nutrient uptake.
Commonly applied to: rice, sugarcane, wheat, fruits, vegetables, pulses
⚠️ Safety & Environmental Notes
Non-flammable, low toxicity
Avoid overuse: can lead to soil acidification and eutrophication in water bodies
Store in dry, cool places – absorbs moisture
📦 Packaging & Supply
50 kg HDPE bags or jumbo bags
Available in crystals, granules, or powder
Gujarat has steady supply via producers & distributors like Laxmi Enterprise, Vadodara
