Application


  • Highly Efficient Recovery of Au(I) from Gold Leaching Solution Using Sodium Dimethyldithiocarbamate.: This study explores the effective recovery of gold using sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate in an ammonia-rich environment, highlighting the interaction with ammonia solution and its impact on the leaching process (Yang et al., 2024).

  • Oxidation mechanism of pyrite in a thiosulfate solution: electrochemical impedance (EIS) and in situ Raman spectroscopy.: Explores the oxidation processes of pyrite in thiosulfate solutions facilitated by ammonia, examining the electrochemical properties and kinetics involved in the oxidation mechanism (Tamayo et al., 2023).

Packaging

Due to quality and safety aspects Ammonia Solution will no longer be offered in glass bottles but solely in HDPE bottles.

Please note the following replacements:
1054261000 (1 L glass bottle) replaced by 1054261011 (1 L HDPE bottle)
1054262500 (2.5 L glass bottle) replaced by 1054262511 (2.5 L HDPE bottle)

  3. you say that 28% solution of NH3 is a 56.6% NH4OH for calculating molarity. Can you explain the conversion of 28% to 56.6%? What would be the molarity of a 31% NH3 solution of ammonium hydroxide?

    1 answer
    1. It should be 57.6% NH4OH, not 56.6% NH4OH. Using 17.034 as the molecular weight for NH3 and 35.0494 as the molecular weight weight for NH4OH, the calculation would be: (28 grams NH3/100 grams of solution) X (35.0494 grams NH4OH / 17.034 grams NH3) = 57.6 grams NH4OH per 100 grams of solution, or 57.6%.

      To calculate the molarity, the density of a 31% NH3 solution is needed. For the calculation, please note that the weight percentage is for NH3, molecular weight 17.034. (31 grams of NH3 / 100 grams of solution) X (890 grams of solution / Liter of solution) X (1 mole NH3 / 17.034 grams NH3) X (1 mole NH4OH / 1 mole NH3) = 16.2 (16.197) moles NH4OH per Liter. The molarity would be 16.2 M.
