Ammonium thiocyanate Uses

Ammonium thiocyanate (CAS NO.1762-95-4) is used in the manufacture of thiourea,herbicides,and transparent artificial resins. And it is used as a stabilizing agent in photography,and is used in various rustproofing compositions. It is also used as an adjuvant in textile dyeing and printing; as a tracer in oil fields; in the separation of hafnium from zirconium, and in titrimetric analyses.

Ammonium thiocyanate Production

Ammonium thiocyanate (CAS NO.1762-95-4) is made in the United States by the reaction of carbon disulfide with aqueous ammonia. Ammonium dithiocarbamate is formed as an intermediate in this reaction, which upon heating, decomposes to ammonium thiocyanate and hydrogen sulfide.
CS₂ + 2 NH₃(aq) → NH₂C(=S)SNH₄→ NH₄SCN + H₂S
