Application

Ammonia may be used as a base to adjust pH for preparing mixed magnetite-hematite nanoparticles via combustion method. These nanoparticles show promising potential as sorbents for removing heavy metal ions from water.
Anhydrous ammonia has been used in dynamic reaction cell technology (DRC) to remove interfering ions without the loss of sensitivity. It has also been used for adjusting pH during the synthesis of magnetite-hematite mixture by combustion methods.
Reagent for chemical vapor deposition of TiN.

Recent studies suggest that alkalinizing treatments improve the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD), even in patients without overt metabolic acidosis. Here, we tested whether a decreased ability in excreting urinary acid rather than overt metabolic acidosis may be deleterious
