A salt compound that easily dissolves in water and binds to proteins making those compounds it binds with easier to remove from water, is ammonium sulfate. When it is used in the form of ammonium lauryl sulfate, water surface tension is decreased allowing water to spread at an easier pace, easing the actual separation of contaminants from water and makes the water harder.
Ammonium sulfate applications and uses are enhanced by the low cost of ammonium lauryl sulfate and ease of use as an ingredient found in a variety of products. Some products with ammonium sulfate include:
1. fertilizers that specifically contain ammonium sulfate products for use on both crops and lawns;
2. an additive that is used in both biotechnical applications and pharmaceutical products;
3. using it as water treatment and /or cleaning additive.
