Ammonium L-tartrate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

white crystalline powder

Chemical Properties

Ammonium tartrate is a colorless crystalline or white granular solid.

Uses

Ammonium L-(+)-tartrate finds application in the textile and pharmaceutical industries. It is also used to study protein structural analysis, biochemicals and reagents, biological buffers, chelators and proteomics. It acts as a nitrogen source in biological applications and cell culture media. Further, it is used in the study of crystal optimization research and preliminary diffraction data analysis of the Smad1 MH1 domain bonded to a palindromic SBE DNA element.

Uses

Textile industry, medicine.

Definition

ChEBI: An organic salt that is the diammonium salt of L-(+)-tartaric acid.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Safety Profile

Poison by intravenous route. Moderately toxic by subcutaneous route. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NH3 and NOx.

Potential Exposure

Ammonium tartrate is used in the textile industry and in medicine.

Shipping

UN3077 Environmentally hazardous substances, solid, n.o.s., Hazard class: 9; Labels: 9-Miscellaneous hazardous material, Technical Name Required.

Incompatibilities

Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Strong oxidizers, especially potassium chlorate, sodium nitrite may cause violent reactions.

Waste Disposal

Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed. May be buried in a chemical waste landfill in accordance with federal, state, and local statutes; or, if oxidized and neutralized, it may be sent to a municipal sewage treatment plant for biological treatment.
