Ammonium hydroxide, also known as ammonia water,ammonia solution, ammoniacal liquor, ammonia liquor, aqua ammonia,  aqueous ammonia, or (inaccurately) ammonia, is a solution of ammonia in water. It can be denoted by the symbols NH3(aq). Although the name ammonium hydroxide suggests an alkali with composition [NH4+][OH−], it is actually impossible to isolate samples of NH4OH. The ions NH4+ and OH− do not account for a significant fraction of the total amount of ammonia except in extremely dilute solutions.

The global Aqua Ammonia industry has a rather high concentration. The major manufacturers are concentrated in North America, China, Europe and India, such as Yara, CF, Shandong Everlast AC Chemical, Hangzhou Hengmao Chemical and DOW. At present, Yara is the world leader, holding 5.90% production market share in 2016.
Aqua Ammonia can be mainly divided into Industrial Grade Aqua Ammonia, Electronic Grade Aqua Ammonia and Pharma Grade Aqua Ammonia which Industrial Grade Aqua Ammonia captures about 73.69% of Aqua Ammonia market in 2016. According to our research and analysis, manufacturers from USA are the major leaders in the international market of Aqua Ammonia.
 
Ammonia solution, also known as ammonia water, ammonical liquor, ammonia liquor, aqua ammonia, aqueous ammonia, or (inaccurately) ammonia, is a solution of ammonia in water. It can be denoted by the symbols NH3 (aq). It is sometimes thought of as a solution of ammonium hydroxide. Although the name ammonium hydroxide suggests an alkali with composition [NH4+] [OH?], it is actually impossible to isolate samples of NH4OH. The ions NH4+ and OH? do not account for a significant fraction of the total amount of ammonia except in extremely dilute solutions.

Applications

In contrast to anhydrous ammonia, aqueous ammonia finds few non-niche uses outside of cleaning agents.

Household cleaner

Dilute (1–3%) ammonia is also an ingredient of numerous cleaning agents, including many window cleaning formulas.

In addition to use as an ingredient in cleansers with other cleansing ingredients, ammonia in water is also sold as a cleaning agent by itself, usually labeled as simply "ammonia". It may be sold plain, lemon-scented (and typically colored yellow), or pine-scented (green). Commonly available ammonia with soap added is known as "cloudy ammonia".

Alkyl amine precursor

In industry, aqueous ammonia can be used as a precursor to some alkyl amines, although anhydrous ammonia is usually preferred. Hexamethylenetetramine forms readily from aqueous ammonia and formaldehyde. Ethylenediamine forms from 1,2-dichloroethane and aqueous ammonia.

Water treatment

Ammonia is used to produce chloramine, which is used as a disinfectant.Chloramine is preferred over chlorination for its ability to remain active in stagnant water pipes longer, reducing the risk of waterborne infections.

Ammonia is used by aquarists for the purposes of setting up a new fish tank using an ammonia process called fishless cycling. This application requires that the ammonia contain no additives.

Food production

Baking ammonia was one of the original chemical leavening agents. It was obtained from deer antlers.. It is useful as a leavening agent because ammonium carbonate is heat activated. This characteristic allows bakers to avoid both yeast's long proofing time and the quick  dissipation of baking soda in making breads and cookies rise. It is still used to make ammonia cookies and other crisp baked goods, but its popularity has waned because of ammonia's off putting smell and concerns over its use as a food ingredient compared to modern day baking powder formulations. It has been identified in the E number series as E527.

Aqueous ammonia is used as an acidity regulator to bring down the acid levels in food. It is classified in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when using the food grade version. Its pH control abilities make it an effective antimicrobial agent.

Furniture darkening

In furniture-making, Ammonia fuming was traditionally used to darken or stain wood containing tannic acid. After being sealed inside a container with the wood, fumes from the ammonia solution react with the tannic acid and iron salts naturally found in wood, creating a rich, dark stained look to the wood. This technique was commonly used during the arts and crafts movement in furniture – a furniture style which was primarily constructed of oak and stained using these methods.

Treatment of straw for cattle

Ammonia solution is used to treat straw, producing "ammoniated straw" making it more edible for cattle.
