Ammonium oxalate is a white crystalline salt formed from the reaction of oxalic acid and ammonia. It is primarily used in analytical chemistry, metal treatment, textile processing, and as a reagent in pharmaceutical applications. Due to its chelating and precipitating properties, it is widely employed in qualitative analysis, metal purification, and specialized laboratory procedures.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Analytical Reagent in Drug Development: Used in analytical testing and separation procedures for pharmaceutical substances. Helps in determining metal ion concentrations during active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) analysis. Involved in purification steps during preparation of bulk drug intermediates.

2. Performance chemicals

  • Metal Precipitation and Purification: Used in metallurgical processes to precipitate rare earth metals and calcium selectively. Acts as a chelating agent for the separation and purification of transition metals. Essential in electroplating, battery materials, and oxide purification systems.
  • Mordant and Dyeing Additive: Serves as a mordant in textile dyeing to enhance color fixation on fibers. Improves dye uptake and binding strength, especially for protein-based fabrics like wool and silk. Also used in paper industry for pH adjustment and filler processing.
