Aminosulfonic acid, a unique inorganic solid acid. Its unique structure is that the hydroxyl group of sulfuric acid is replaced by an amino group, forming a compound with unique properties. In appearance, sulfamic acid is generally a white, odorless oblique square shaped crystal with a relative density of 2.126 and a melting point of 205 ℃. This compound, as long as it remains dry and does not come into contact with water at room temperature, will not absorb moisture in its solid form and exhibits high stability.

Safety protection measures for amino sulfonic acid
Before using sulfamic acid, it is necessary to understand its properties, follow the usage regulations, and wear protective equipment.
Aminosulfonic acid needs to be stored in a sealed, cool, well ventilated warehouse or storage area, avoiding mixing with other hazardous materials.
During transportation and storage, waterproof and moisture-proof treatment should be carried out to avoid long-term exposure to sunlight.
When using sulfamic acid, professional equipment and facilities are required to avoid leaks and other unexpected situations.
If there is a leakage during the use of sulfamic acid, immediate measures should be taken to handle it and avoid causing harm to the surrounding environment and personnel.
The function of amino sulfonic acid
Amino sulfonic acid has a wide and diverse range of functions, and its aqueous solution has the same strong acidity as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, etc., hence it is called "solid sulfuric acid". However, compared to sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, sulfamic acid has the characteristics of being non-volatile, odorless, and less toxic to the human body, which makes it widely used in many fields.
In addition, sulfamic acid also exhibits some beneficial effects in living organisms. For example, it can increase the synthesis of cartilage tissue, reduce arthritis and joint pain, and protect joint health. Meanwhile, it can also increase nitrogen storage in muscle cells, promote protein synthesis, and aid in muscle growth and repair. In addition, sulfamic acid can enhance the activity of immune cells, strengthen the function of the immune system, and prevent infections and diseases.
The use of amino sulfonic acid
Industrial application: Aminosulfonic acid, as a common chemical raw material, has a wide range of applications in industrial production. It can be used to synthesize herbicides, fire retardants, sweeteners, preservatives, etc., meeting various industrial needs. In addition, amino sulfonic acid has also shown good effects in detergents for metal and ceramic vessels. It is not only effective in removing dirt from metal and ceramic surfaces, but also non corrosive to the equipment itself, making it highly favored.
Acidic cleaning agent: Aminosulfonic acid is widely used in acidic cleaning agents, such as boiler descaling, metal and ceramic equipment cleaning agents, etc. It can effectively remove scale and dirt from the surface of the equipment, restoring its performance. Meanwhile, sulfamic acid is safe for steel, iron, glass, and wood equipment and can be used cautiously on copper, aluminum, and galvanized metal surfaces.
Paper industry: In the paper industry, sulfamic acid can be used as a bleaching aid. It can reduce or eliminate the catalytic effect of heavy metal ions in the bleaching solution, thereby ensuring the quality of the bleaching solution. At the same time, it can also reduce the oxidative degradation of fibers by metal ions, improve pulp strength and whiteness.
Dyes and pigments industry: In the dyes and pigments industry, sulfamic acid can be used as an eliminating agent for excess nitrite in diazotization reactions and as a fixing agent for textile dyeing. These applications all benefit from their unique chemical properties and stability.
Textile industry: In the textile industry, sulfamic acid can form a fireproof layer on textiles, improving the safety of textiles. In addition, it can also be used to produce yarn cleaning agents and other additives for the textile industry, improving the quality and performance of textiles.
In summary, sulfamic acid, as a unique inorganic solid acid, has a wide range of applications in industrial production, metal cleaning, papermaking, dyes and pigments, and textile industry. Its unique chemical properties and stability make it an indispensable chemical raw material.
