1, Ammonium sulfite is a colorless to yellow crystalline (sand-like or sugar-like) solid, normally sold or used in a 40% solution. It is used both as a reducing agent and in photography. This compound is a salt that can form from the reaction of ammonia and sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide. This product is frequently found in the overhead of crude distillation units and can be quite corrosive to steel equipment. Chemical corrosion inhibitors are often used to control corrosion from ammonium sulfite and other ammonium salts.
2, Ammonium Sulfite is an additive used in the production of caramel.
3, Ammonium Sulfite is a colorless crystalline solid. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. AMMONIUM SULFITE is used in the manufacture of other chemicals, in medicine, and photography.
4, Ammonium sulfite is used in medicines, metal lubricants; explosives, photography, hair wave solutions; and to make other chemicals. It is also used as a preservative, and for treating agricultural grain.
