Ammonia Water, anhydrous, etc.

Technical aqueous ammonia NH3H2O is a solution of technical ammonia. It is used in agriculture as a liquid fertilizer with an ammonium nitrogen content of 20.5%. From an economic point of view, nitrogen of this type of fertilizer is the cheapest. The highest effect from the use of ammonia water is achieved during autumn application to the soil, since it is not washed out by precipitation, or during the pre-sowing period in spring. Aqueous ammonia when applied to the soil can be used for all household crops. Ammonia nitrogen is better retained by the soil than ammonium nitrogen of solid fertilizers. Ammonia water is a good fertilizer for potatoes, beets, cereals and vegetables, perennial grasses. By increasing the yield, ammonia water is not inferior to solid ammonium nitrate fertilizers. It is also used in animal husbandry for feed ammonification. In industry, it is used in the production of dyes, soda ash, in the electrical production of manganese, ferroalloys, the medical industry, and everyday life.
It is produced in two brands: A - for industry, B - for agriculture.

Anhydrous liquefied ammonia is used for the production of nitric acid and fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, carbamide, ammophos, etc.); in organic synthesis; for the production of aqueous solutions used in medicine and chemical industry; as liquid fertilizers.
Depending on the purpose , liquid ammonia of three brands is produced:

• A - for the production of nitric acid, for nitriding, as a refrigerant, for the creation of protective atmospheres;
• Ak - for export supplies and transportation via the main ammonia pipeline;
• B - for processing into fertilizers and for use in agriculture as nitrogen fertilizer.
