Hi,
I have a chemical process that I will evaporate ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate. So there will be ammonia NH3 gas coming out. What should I do for the risk control. I am thinking to do this process in the fume hood that evacuate the ammonia immediately.
To make it more clear, the amount of ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate diluted in DI water would be no greater than 0.25g, which is saying that amount of NH3 could coming out from the solution should be no greater than 0.01g. Is this amount of NH3 would be dangerous?
There is an ammonia safety institute association that specializes in ammonia safety. Last time I looked at them they had issued several dozen bulletins about ammonia safety. Ammonia can burn and catch fire easily. Touching liquid to skin causes instantaneous second degree chemical burn. Major risk also occurs for eyes and lungs.
You need containment and ventilation, personal protection, and environmental protection.
DEAR MR CHEN
HOPE THIS PICTURE COULD HELP
