Ammonium Bisulphite

Ammonium Bisulphite – (CAS 10192-30-0) Supplier in the South Africa

Ammonium Bisulphite is a highly effective chemical compound widely used as a reducing agent, preservative, and bleaching agent across multiple industries. Also known as ammonium hydrogen sulfite, ammonium bisulfite solution, and NH₄HSO₃, it is valued for its ability to control oxidation, remove excess chlorine, and stabilize chemical processes. Ammonium Bisulphite is commonly used in water treatment, chemical manufacturing, and food processing applications due to its high reactivity and reliability.

Physical Details and Properties:

Ammonium Bisulphite is typically a colorless to pale yellow crystalline solid or liquid solution with a pungent sulfur-like odor. It is highly soluble in water and exhibits strong reducing properties. Chemically, it acts as a source of bisulfite ions (HSO₃⁻), which are effective in neutralizing oxidizing agents, preserving food products, and preventing unwanted chemical reactions. Its high purity and stability ensure consistent performance in industrial applications.

Industrial Applications:

Ammonium Bisulphite is widely used in water treatment, where it neutralizes residual chlorine and other oxidizing agents in industrial effluents and boiler water. In the chemical industry, it serves as a reducing agent in the production of dyes, intermediates, and other specialty chemicals. It is also applied in food processing as a preservative and antioxidant, helping to extend shelf life and maintain product quality.

Additional applications include textile processing, pulp and paper bleaching, and metallurgical processes, where it assists in oxidation control and chemical stabilization. Its versatility makes it an essential chemical in industries requiring controlled reduction and preservation processes.

Safety Information:

Ammonium Bisulphite should be handled according to recommended safety guidelines. Direct contact with concentrated material may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, or respiratory tract. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety goggles, and masks should be used when handling this chemical. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from strong oxidizers and incompatible substances. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling, storage, and transportation instructions.
