Ammonia sulfate, hazards with

SAFETY PROFILE Poison by skin contact and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. A severe human skin and eye irritant. Acts as a primary irritant as well as a sensitizer of skin. An allergen. Mutation data reported. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame. A moderate explosion hazard when exposed to flame, sparks, heated to 150°, or when shocked in a sealed container. Explosive reaction with ammonia at 170°C/40 bar. To fight fire, use CO2, dry chemical. Reacts violently with hydrazine sulfate or hydrazine hydrate.

The preparation of ammonium azide by the interaction of ammonia with hydrazoic acid in ethereal solution has been described by Frierson. A second preparative method using ammonium nitrate or sulfate is also described in the same reference. Both methods have disadvantages, in that the former requires the preparation of hydrazoic acid, whereas the latter is limited to small quantities because of explosion hazards. [Pg.53]

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is a monomer or comonomer in many polymers, most notably Plexiglas (R). The conventional process has many drawbacks, including the use of sulfuric acid as a catalyst. Most manufacturers neutralize the sulfuric acid with ammonia, producing byproduct ammonium sulfate which must be sold or disposed of. HCN is also used in the process, requiring the MMA plant to be linked to a source of hazardous HCN. [Pg.881]
