Ammonium hydrogen sulfite is an inorganic chemical compound from the group of ammonium salts and sulfites .
Extraction and presentation
Ammonium hydrogen sulfite is produced, for example, in flue gas desulfurization in the Walter process by injecting ammonia into the exhaust gas flow.
properties
Ammonium hydrogen sulfite is a colorless to yellowish, deliquescent solid with a smell of sulfur dioxide . It is only traded as an aqueous solution. The compound decomposes when exposed to acids with formation of sulfur dioxide, when exposed to alkalis ammonia .
use
Ammonium hydrogen sulfite is used for the sulfurization of wine and also serves as a preservative.
