Aqua ammonia, whose main component is NH3·H2O, is an aqueous solution of ammonia. Aqua ammonia is a colorless transparent liquid with pungent odor, which is easily volatile and has partial alkalinity.
According to the different use and quality standards, aqua ammonia can be divided into three categories: industrial grade, electronic grade and pharmaceutical grade. Industrial grade ammonia usually refers to an aqueous solution containing 25% to 28% ammonia. Only a small portion of ammonia molecules in ammonia react with water to form monohydrate ammonia, which is a weak base only present in Aqua ammonia; Electronic grade ammonia water is purified from industrial synthetic ammonia, with a melting point of -77°C. It is soluble in water, ethanol, and ether, and has strong alkalinity. It neutralizes with acids to produce heat and has a strong pungent odor. It is mainly used in the electronic industry; Pharmaceutical grade ammonia generally refers to a solution with an amine concentration of 25%, mainly used in pharmaceutical-related industries.
According to our research data, the global aqua ammonia market revenue is expected to reach $615 million in 2023, among which the industrial grade, electronic grade and pharmaceutical grade ammonia market revenue is estimated to reach $422 million, $177 million and $16 million, and the market share is expected to reach 68.62%, 28.78% and 2.60%, respectively.

Aqua ammonia is widely used downstream, and there has been a huge consumer demand in various fields such as agriculture, chemical industry, textiles, medicine, and scientific research in recent years. Among numerous application fields, the agricultural sector has the greatest demand for aqua ammonia. It is estimated that the market revenue of ammonia in the agricultural field is expected to reach $193 million in 2023, accounting for 31.38% of the market. With the continuous development of the downstream industries, the demand for high-quality aqua ammonia applications will continue to grow.
Introduction of Main Uses of Aqua Ammonia
|
Segment Use
|
Description
|
|
Laboratory Use
|
Aqua ammonia is an important laboratory reagent,
mainly used as an analytical reagent, neutralizer, alkaloid leaching agent,
aluminum salt synthesis and weak alkaline solvent.
|
|
Industrial Use
|
In wool spinning, silk, printing and dyeing
industries, it is used to wash wool, woolen, grey cloth, dissolve and adjust
the pH, and as a dyeing aid. Used as an aminating agent in the organic
industry and as a catalyst for the production of thermosetting phenolic
resins; Used in the inorganic industry to prepare various iron salts.
|
|
Agricultural Use
|
Diluted in agriculture, it can be used as
fertilizer. The ammonia concentration of agricultural aqua ammonia is
generally controlled within the range of 15% to 18% nitrogen content, and the
carbonization degree is preferably greater than 100%.
|
|
Medical Use
|
Medically, dilute ammonia is used to stimulate
respiration and circulation reflexively, to cure fainting and fainting, and
as a skin irritant and disinfectant.
|
|
Military Use
|
As an alkaline disinfectant, it is used to
disinfect sarin. The commonly used concentration is 10% dilute ammonia water
(density 0.960), while the concentration used in winter is 20%.
