Description

Application
It is primarily used as a nitrogen fertilizer (21% N 24% S) for crops on alkaline soils in protein precipitation for biochemical purification water treatment and flame retardants.

Purpose
Its main purpose is to supply ammonium nitrogen and sulfate sulfur to plants for growth lower soil pH slightly and selectively precipitate proteins based on solubility differences.
