Influencing factors on decomposition of ammonium chloride and organic base hydrochloride was written by Bian, Siyu;Guan, Congcong;Wang, Shufang;Wang, Yanji. And the article was included in Huaxue Fanying Gongcheng Yu Gongyi in 2019.Reference of 35487-17-3 This article mentions the following:
Ammonium chloride is a byproduct of Hou鈥瞫 process for soda manufacture In order to achieve efficient use of nitrogen and chlorine, and fundamentally solve the problems of byproduct surplus and environmental pollution, several organic bases of different structures were selected to study the reaction process of decomposing ammonium chloride to release ammonia gas, and organic base hydrochloride to release hydrogen chloride. The effect of organic alkalinity, structure and solvation on the reaction was correlated. The results showed that the organic alkalinity did not show a completely pos. correlation with the decomposition of ammonium chloride and the corresponding organic base hydrochloride. Besides the alkalinity, the structure and solvation of organic base also had an important effect on the reaction. Trihexylamine and trioctylamine were suitable organic bases, which could simultaneously satisfy the decomposition process of ammonium chloride and the corresponding organic base hydrochloride. In addition, solvents also had a great influence on the reaction. The decomposition of ammonium chloride by trihexylamine and trioctylamine should be carried out in a polar alc. solution, while the decomposition of the corresponding organic base hydrochloride should be performed in a nonpolar alkane solution In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (cas: 35487-17-3Reference of 35487-17-3).
1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (cas: 35487-17-3) belongs to imidazole derivatives. Many natural products, especially alkaloids, contain the imidazole ring. These imidazoles share the 1,3-C3N2 ring but feature varied substituents. Imidazole is incorporated into many important biological compounds. The most pervasive is the amino acid histidine, which has an imidazole side-chain. Histidine is present in many proteins and enzymes, e.g. by binding metal cofactors, as seen in hemoglobin.Reference of 35487-17-3
