Introduction
ammonium sulfite monohydrate is colorless monoclinic crystal with melting point of 60~70 ℃ (decomposition), boiling point of 150 ℃ (sublimation), relative density of 1.4125 and refractive index of 1.515. Ammonium sulfite monohydrate is soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and hardly soluble in acetone.
application
ammonium sulfite monohydrate is mainly used in the paper industry, followed by the production of rapid developer ammonium thiosulfate raw material, used in organic synthesis as a reducing agent, sulfonating agent.
Preparation
ammonium sulfite monohydrate can be obtained by the interaction of ammonia water and sulfurous acid, and sulfur dioxide can also be introduced into ammonia water or (NH4)2CO3 solution and reacted at about 0 ℃.
Production method
1. production is generally prepared by absorbing sulfur dioxide from sulfuric acid tail gas with water or mother liquor or ammonia water or sulfur dioxide from sulfur burning flue gas to prepare ammonium bisulfite, and then adding ammonia water or ammonium bicarbonate for neutralization reaction.
The ammonia water method prepares ammonia water into a solution with a certain specific gravity and alkalinity, and circularly absorbs sulfur dioxide in the exhaust gas of sulfuric acid production or sulfur burning flue gas to prepare ammonium bisulfite solution. When the density of the absorbed liquid phase reaches 1.30~1.32, it is sent to the neutralizer, and then ammonia water is added to neutralize the reaction to the end point. After centrifugal separation and drying, the finished product of ammonium sulfite is prepared.

Ammonium bicarbonate method uses mother liquor or ammonia water absorption solution to absorb sulfur dioxide in sulfuric acid tail gas to prepare ammonium bisulfite solution. When the density of the absorption liquid phase reaches 1.30~1.32, it is sent to the neutralizer, and then ammonium bicarbonate is added to neutralize the reaction to the end point. After centrifugal separation and drying, the finished product of ammonium sulfite is prepared, and its

2. the absorption method uses water or circulating mother liquor to absorb sulfur dioxide in the tail gas of sulfuric acid, and then reacts with ammonia (or ammonia water) to obtain liquid ammonium sulfite. Its
