Bases displace ammonia from ammonium compounds, so...
1) Take small amount of the substance that you want to test to see if ammonium ions are present
2) Add some sodium hydroxide
3) Heat gently
4) Ammonia gas is produced if the ammonium ion was present. You can know that ammonia gas is given off if the gas turns damp litmus paper blue.
