use

Ammonium citrate is mainly used in chemical analysis, industrial water treatment, metal cleaning (petroleum pipeline cleaning), ceramic dispersant, seepage aid, detergent raw materials, and soil improver components, also used in medicine, electronics and other industries. Used as a chemical reagent in analytical chemistry, for example, the determination of phosphate in fertilizers, and the determination of available phosphoric acid in fertilizers. Electroplating industry as cyanide - free electroplating complexing agent. The mechanical industry is used to prepare antirust agents. In the food industry as buffer, emulsifier and so on. EEC is mainly used in cheese processing.

It is produced by the interaction of citric acid with ammonia.

Storage and transportation

Deliquescent easily and irritant. Keep in a cool and dry place.
