Ammonium bisulfite (CAS 10192-30-0, NH4HSO3) is supplied here as a ~60% aqueous solution. A reducing agent, it is used as an oxygen scavenger and corrosion-control additive in drilling fluids and boiler water, in sulfite pulping, as a sulfur source in fluid fertilizers, and in grain preservation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ammonium bisulfite used for?
Ammonium bisulfite (CAS 10192-30-0, NH4HSO3), supplied here as a ~60% aqueous solution, is a reducing agent used as an oxygen scavenger and corrosion-control additive in drilling fluids and boiler water. It also serves in sulfite pulping, as a sulfur source in fluid fertilizers, and in grain preservation.
What is bisulfite used for?
Bisulfite salts act as reducing agents and oxygen scavengers, removing dissolved oxygen to control corrosion in water systems and serving as a sulfur source in pulping and fertilizers. The ammonium form additionally supplies nitrogen.
How does ammonium bisulfite scavenge oxygen?
As a reducing agent, the bisulfite ion reacts with dissolved oxygen, converting to sulfate and thereby removing the oxygen that drives corrosion in boiler and drilling-fluid systems. It is dosed to maintain a controlled reducing residual.
What concentration is this ammonium bisulfite solution?
This product is supplied as a ~60% aqueous solution. Confirm the exact active concentration and pH on the spec sheet and Certificate of Analysis when ordering.
How is ammonium bisulfite 60% solution supplied in bulk?
RawSource distributes the 60% solution in bulk drums, totes, and IBCs under HS 2832.20 (sulfites, other). Submit your volume and destination for a bulk quote; CoA and SDS are provided with shipment.
