ammonium sodium hydrogen phosphate is an inorganic compound that is a salt of ammonia and phosphoric acid. It is found in crystalline form and is soluble in water.
The chemical formula of ammonium sodium hydrogen phosphate is (NH4)3PO4. It has a negative charge (-) on the ammonium ion and a positive charge (1+) on the phosphate ion.
It has a tetragonal crystal structure and relative density of 19 1.
Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate is used as a source of calcium sulfate, in the separation and wash of mineral salts from animal feed. It is also a component of several fertilizers, detergents and other chemical products.
It is a genotoxic substance that can cause DNA damage through interactions with proteins and other substrates. It can interact synergistically with acids and hydrochloric acid to produce malonic acid and diammonium phosphate.
The global market for ammonium sodium hydrogen phosphate is projected to grow significantly over the next few years. This growth is attributed to the increasing demand for fertilizers and water treatment chemicals in developing countries and increasing production of animal feeds in Asia Pacific. In addition, the increasing awareness among consumers towards toxicity of inorganic chemicals and the rise in consumer health consciousness is expected to drive the demand for organic food products.
