What is BS 4651-3- Residue on evaporation of ammonia solution about?

BS 4651 series discusses ammonia solution. BS 4651-3 is the third part of the BS 4651 multi-series and discusses the determination of residue on evaporation.

The method in BS 4651-3 is applicable to solutions containing not more than 35 % (m/m) of ammonia.

Who is BS 4651-3- Residue on evaporation of ammonia solution for?

BS 4651-3 on the determination of the residue after evaporation of ammonia solution for industrial use is useful for:

Ammonia manufacturers
Fertilizers manufacturers
Cleaning products manufacturers
Quality control personnel

Why should you use BS 4651-3- Residue on evaporation of ammonia solution?

About 80% of the ammonia produced by industry is used in agriculture as fertilizer. Ammonia is also used as a refrigerant gas, for the purification of water supplies, and in the manufacture of plastics, explosives, textiles, pesticides, dyes, and other chemicals. A solution of calcium in liquid ammonia on evaporation gives Ca(NH3)6 as residue.

BS 4651-3 provides you with a gravimetric method for the determination of the residue after evaporation of ammonia solution for industrial use. BS 4651-3 provides you with the reagents and apparatus required for the test method. BS 4651-3 guides you with the procedure and expression of results. BS 4651-3 helps you to determine the residue after evaporation of ammonia solution for industrial use.
