General description

Ammonium sulfide solution (aqueous ammonium sulfide) is a 20% solution in water. Ammonium sulfide is an inorganic salt with a sulfurous odor, which is commonly used in the food industry as a flavoring agent.[1] The influence of ammonium sulfide treatment on (100)GaAs (gallium arsenide) surfaces has been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED).[2] Its potential as an alternative to hydrogen sulfide for the transformation of activated amides to thioamides by thiolysis has been investigated.[3] The reaction of ammonium sulfide with 3-hydroxy-2-butanone over a range of temperature has been reported to form various flavor compounds.[4]

Application

Ammonium sulfide solution may be used to enhance the performance of type-II InAs/GaSb super lattice photodiodes by surface passivation technique.[5]

In the present work, Fe(3)O(4)-carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite was explored as a sensing material candidate for ammonium sulfide. Intense chemiluminescence emission can be observed during the catalytic oxidation of ammonium sulfide on the surface of Fe(3)O(4)-CNTs composite. Based on this

Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  
  1. Is the cap on the glass container vented?

    1 answer
    1. No, the cap on this product is not vented.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  4. Is the color of freshly prepared Ammonium Sulfide salt a white crystal?

    1 answer
    1. This product is a 20% solution of Ammonium sulfide in water and not the pure form. The solution color may range from a light green-yellow to a dark green-yellow. The material is not a white crystalline form. In the pure state, Ammonium sulfide is expected to be yellow crystalline solid.
