Ammonium bicarbonate

Ammonium bicarbonate (chemical formula: NH₄HCO₃) is a white crystalline powder—commonly known as "ammonium carbonate" in industrial shorthand—characterized by a strong ammoniacal odor. It is highly soluble in water, forming a weakly alkaline solution. Chemically, it is extremely unstable; it decomposes slowly at room temperature and breaks down completely into ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water when heated (typically above 35°C–60°C).

Product Description

Key Properties and Characteristics

1. Appearance: White or light-colored crystalline powder with a pungent ammonia odor.

2. Poor thermal stability: It decomposes and volatilizes more readily at higher temperatures or humidity levels, resulting in reduced fertilizer efficiency.

3. Safety: It has an irritating and corrosive effect on the skin and mucous membranes.
