Chemical Formula NH₂OH.HCl

Molecular Weight 69.49 g/mol

Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is a biological intermediate in nitrification (biological oxidation of ammonia with oxygen into nitrite) and in anammox (biological oxidation of nitrite and ammonium into dinitrogen gas) which are important in the nitrogen cycle in soil and in wastewater treatment plants. It is a salt form of hydroxylamine, combining hydroxylamine with hydrochloric acid.

Industrial Uses

1. Chemical Synthesis

  • Reducing Agent: Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is widely used as a reducing agent in various chemical reactions, particularly in the reduction of ketones and aldehydes to their corresponding oximes. It also reduces nitro compounds to amines, making it valuable in organic synthesis.
  • Purification of Aldehydes and Ketones: It is utilized in the purification and identification of aldehydes and ketones through oxime formation, which can be further analyzed or purified.
  • Polymerization Inhibitor: Used to inhibit polymerization reactions, especially in the manufacturing of monomers like acrylonitrile, where control of polymerization is critical for safety and product quality.

2. Pharmaceutical

  • Intermediate in Drug Synthesis: Hydroxylamine hydrochloride serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds, including antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and anticancer agents.
  • API Stabilizer: It is also employed as a stabilizing agent in certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), protecting them from oxidation and degradation.

3. Agrochemicals

  • Pesticide Manufacturing: Used in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, where it acts as an intermediate in synthesizing active ingredients that help control pests and diseases in crops.
  • Plant Growth Regulation: It can also be utilized in formulating certain plant growth regulators that help enhance crop yield and quality.

4. Fabric Solutions

  • Dye Preparation: In the textile industry, Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is used in dye preparation processes. It helps in the reduction of nitro dyes and in the stabilization of dye baths by controlling the oxidation levels.
  • Bleaching Agent: It acts as a bleaching agent in textile manufacturing, especially for synthetic fibers, by modifying the chemical environment to achieve desired color fastness. 5. Water Treatment
  • Oxygen Scavenger: Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is sometimes used in water treatment applications to remove dissolved oxygen from water systems, preventing corrosion in industrial boilers and pipes. 6. Personal Care
  • Hair Dye Manufacturing: Hydroxylamine hydrochloride can be found in the formulation of hair dyes and colorants, where it helps to stabilize the colorants and enhance their performance on hair.
