Ammonia → Ammonium sulfamate

Liquid or gaseous sulfur trioxide is introduced while stirring into a melt consisting of the reaction products obtained in the reaction of sulfur trioxide and ammonia while maintaining a constant ammonia pressure above the melt. The sulfur trioxide reacts with the ammonia dissolved in the melt to yield ammonium sulfamate and ammonium imidodisulfonate and with the melt itself to yield ammoniumhydrogenoimidodisulfonate which latter undergoes a further reaction in the melt or at the interface between the melt and the gas with ammonia to yield ammonium sulfamate and ammonium imidodisulfonate. Moreover unreacted sulfur trioxide may react with ammonia at the interface between the gas and the melt or in the gaseous zone itself. The ammonia pressure in the gaseous phase above the melt can be kept constant by adding ammonia required for the reaction with the sulfur trioxide and thus a loss of reaction products in liquid or solid form can be prevented.
