- Ammonia is a compound
with the formula NH3. It is normally encountered as a gas with a
characteristic pungent odor.
- Ammonia
contributes
significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial
organisms by serving as a precursor to foodstuffs and
fertilizers.
- Ammonia, either
directly or indirectly, also is a building block for the synthesis of
many pharmaceuticals. Although in wide use, ammonia is both caustic and
hazardous.
- Ammonia, as used
commercially, is often called anhydrous ammonia. This term emphasizes
the absence of water in the material.
- "Household ammonia" or
"ammonium hydroxide" is a solution of NH3 in water. The strength of such
solutions is measured in units of baume
with 26 degrees
baume.
- Household ammonia
ranges in concentration from 5 to 10 weight percent ammonia.
- In certain organisms,
ammonia is produced from atmospheric N2 by enzymes called nitrogenases.
The overall process is called nitrogen fixation.
- Ammonia is also a
metabolic product of amino acid deamination. Ammonia excretion is common
in aquatic animals. In humans, it is quickly converted to urea, which is
much less toxic.
- Approximately 83% (as
of 2003) of ammonia is used as fertilizers either as its salts or as
solutions.
- Consuming more than 1%
of the man-made power, the production of ammonia is significant
component of the world energy budget.
- Ammonia's thermodynamic
properties made it one of the refrigerants commonly used prior to the
discovery of dichlorodifluoromethane.
- Liquid ammonia was used
as the fuel of the rocket airplane, the X-15.
- Solutions of ammonia in
water can be applied on the skin to lessen the effects of acidic animal
poisons, especially insect poison and jellyfish poison.
- Ammonia used to scrub
SO2 from the burning of fossil fuels, the resulting product is converted
to ammonium sulfate for use as fertilizer.
- The worldwide ammonia
production in 2004 was 109 million metric tonnes.
- The People's Republic
of China produced 28.4% of the worldwide production followed by India
with 8.6%, Russia with 8.4%, and the United States with 8.2%.
- About 80% or more of
the ammonia produced is used for fertilizing agricultural crops.
- Imports of ammonia and
other nitrogen products into the US
market surged temporarily and
then fell back, although ammonia imports remain higher than before the
gas spike.
- Producers outside the
US also need to review their strategies and consider the threats and
opportunities presented by the changing and uncertain
US
market.
