HYDROXYLAMINE SULPHATE

HYDROXYLAMINE SULPHATE

 

IUPAC Name: Bis(hydroxyammonium) sulfate
Chemical Formula: (NH2OH)2-H2SO4
CAS Number: 10039-54-0
Molar mass: 64.14 g/mol
EC Number: 233-118-8

Hydroxylamine sulphate (NH3OH)2SO4, is the sulfuric acid salt of hydroxylamine.
Hydroxylamine sulphate can be obtained by the acid-base reaction of hydroxylamine with sulfuric acid:
2NH2OH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → (NH3OH)2SO4(aq)

Applications of Hydroxylamine sulphate
Main article: Hydroxylamine sulphate Reactions
Hydroxylamine sulphate is used in organic synthesis to convert aldehydes and ketones to oximes, carboxylic acids and their derivatives (e.g. esters) to hydroxamic acids, isocyanates to N-hydroxyureas and nitriles to amidoximes. Hydroxylamine sulphate is also used to generate hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid from oleum or chlorosulfuric acid.

Hydroxylamine sulphate is used in the production of anti-skinning agents, pharmaceuticals, rubber, textiles, plastics and detergents. It is a radical scavenger that terminates radical polymerization reactions and serves as an antioxidant in natural rubber. (NH3OH)2SO4 is a starting material for some insecticides, herbicides and growth regulators.
Hydroxylamine sulphate is used in photography as a stabiliser for colour developers and as an additive in photographic emulsions in colour film.

Decomposition of Hydroxylamine sulphate
At 120 °C, Hydroxylamine sulphate begins to decompose to sulfur trioxide, nitrous oxide, water, and ammonia:
2(NH3OH)2SO4 → 2SO3 + N2O + 2NH3 + 5H2O
The reaction is exothermic above 138 °C, and is most exothermic at 177 °C.
Metals (especially copper, its alloys and its salts) catalyse the decomposition of hydroxylamine sulphate.
The instability of this compound is mainly due to the hydroxylamine ion's weak nitrogen to oxygen single bond.

The major use is in Hydroxylamine sulphates reaction with organic compounds to produce derivatives such as Oximes which may be intermediates in the production of materials such as Nylon-6. Hydroxylamine sulphate may also be used as anti-oxidants, stabilizers and anti-skinning agents in inks and paints.

The invention relates to the chemical industry, namely to a method for producing hydroxylamine sulphate (HAS) used for caplrolactam production.
The inventive method consists in preparing a reaction mixture, catalytically oxidising ammoniac at a pressure equal to or less than 0.3 MPa, concentrating a nitrous gas by means of water vapours, mixing said concentrated nitrous gas with hydrogen by a mixture of sulphuric acid, water, nitrous gas concentrating condensate, condensate of secondary concentration of HAS and in synthesising HAS.
Nitrous gas heat is used for concentrating a nitric condensate and a HAS solution.
Said nitric condensate is concentrated until a nitric acid mass fraction of 40 % is attained and delivered in the form of a final product which is used for producing mineral fertilisers.
The HAS solution is concentrated until a mass fraction of 40 % is attained by using distillate condensing heat produced during a nitric condensate concentrating.
Said improved method makes Hydroxylamine sulphate possible to reduce investment costs and production energy consumption and to simplify the process control
