Ammonium chloride is mainly used in the fields of medicine, agriculture, industry, etc.
In the medical field, ammonium chloride can be used as a pharmaceutical ingredient, commonly found in cough suppressants and anticoagulants. It can stimulate the respiratory mucosa, promote coughing, and thus help to expel phlegm. In addition, ammonium chloride can also be used to treat some urinary tract infections and kidney stones.
In the agricultural field, ammonium chloride is mainly used as nitrogen fertilizer and magnesium fertilizer. Ammonium chloride can provide the nitrogen elements needed by plants, promote plant growth, and increase yield. In addition, ammonium chloride can also be mixed with other fertilizers to meet the needs of crops for various nutrients.
In the industrial field, ammonium chloride can be used as a flux, electroplating solution, battery electrolyte, and smoke bomb component. Ammonium chloride can reduce the oxide on the surface of the weld seam and improve the welding quality during the welding process. In electroplating, ammonium chloride can provide chloride ions and promote the electroplating reaction on the metal surface.
