Physicochemical Properties Enhancement
Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) can improve various physicochemical properties of polymers, including mechanical, electrochemical, and electrical features. These enhancements are concentration-dependent, with the salt acting as a potent proton donor due to its four protons attached to a positively charged nitrogen atom.
-
Antiseptic Properties
Quaternary ammonium compounds like ammonium chloride exhibit broad-spectrum antiviral activities and are widely used as accessible antiseptic molecules. They are effective against a range of viruses.
-
Medical Use
Ammonium chloride is utilized as a treatment for severe cases of metabolic alkalosis. It acts by raising the endocytic and lysosomal pH, similar to chloroquine, and also possesses antiviral activity against coronaviruses.
-
Corrosion Agent
Ammonium chloride is implicated in localized corrosion, particularly under deposit corrosion, which poses a significant threat to the structural integrity and safety of refinery processes. It is commonly found in overhead equipment and piping in crude and hydroprocessing units, leading to severe fouling and operational reliability issues.
-
Smoke Screen Component
Ammonium chloride is a component of smoke screens, often used alongside other substances like zinc oxide. While smoke bombs and smoke pots containing such components can be dangerous and toxic, ammonium chloride is considered safer and more suitable for research in closed laboratory environments.
-
Environmental Impact
The discharge of industrial effluents containing ammonium chloride into the environment, particularly from chemical fertilizer and rare earth processes, poses environmental challenges. Ammonium chloride is a significant source of ammonia nitrogen, contributing to eutrophication, excessive algae growth, and chloride ion accumulation in freshwater resources.
