General description

Ammonium hydroxide solution is also called aqueous ammonia, aqua ammonia, or ammonia water. It is a weak base mainly used as a nitrogen source to prepare other nitrogen-containing organic and inorganic chemicals such as urea, ammonium carbonate, ammonium sulfate, etc.

Application

Ammonium hydroxide solution (28% NH3 in H2O) can be used as:
  • A medium to prepare magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles via a modified controlled chemical coprecipitation method using divalent or trivalent iron salts as iron precursors.      
  • A reagent in ammonolysis.      
  • A solvent to synthesize 1, 4 dihydropyridines via one-pot condensation of an aldehyde and alkyl acetoacetate.

In this work, new magnetic-plasmonic nanocomposites have been developed through the use of two complementary polyelectrolytes⁻polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH). PSS, a negatively charged polyelectrolyte, was utilized as a stabiliser for magnetite nanoparticles, and PAH, a positively charged

Despite its high toxicity and widespread occurrence in many parts of the world, arsenic (As) concentrations in decentralized water supplies such as domestic wells remain often unquantified. One limitation to effective monitoring is the high cost and lack of portability

We introduce an online multiple-junction capillary isoelectric focusing fractionator (OMJ-CIEF) for separation of biological molecules in solution by pI. In OMJ-CIEF, the separation capillary is divided into seven equal sections joined with each other via tubular Nafion membrane insertions. Each
