Ammonium Acetate is a versatile chemical compound widely utilized in various industries due to its unique properties and applications. It is a white crystalline solid, highly soluble in water and methanol, making it ideal for numerous uses.

Ammonium Acetate is manufactured by method by producing an aqueous solution of the ammonium salt of the organic acid through fermentation and/or bioconversion and neutralization. The solution is then heated to thermally crack the ammonium salt of the organic acid producing a vapour phase of ammonia and water and organic acid which is thereafter passed in contact with a membrane permeable to water and ammonia and substantially impermeable to the organic acid vapour to concentrate the aqueous solution of organic acid, and remove the ammonia and excess water.
