- The chemical
compound ammonium nitrate, the nitrate of ammonia with the chemical
formula NH4NO3.
- Ammonium nitrate is
a white powder at room temperature and standard pressure.
- Ammonium nitrate is
commonly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer.
- Ammonium nitrate has
also been used as an oxidizing agent in explosives, including improvised
explosive devices.
- The processes
involved in the production of ammonium nitrate in industry,the acid-base
reaction of ammonia with nitric acid gives a solution of ammonium
nitrate.
-
A Crystal salt is considered a hazard and toxic. Its
strong oxidizing agent can cause combustible materials to ignite.
Ammonium Nitrate when mixed with water can cause irritation to eyes,
nose and skin.
- The Haber process
combines nitrogen and hydrogen to produce ammonia, part of which can be
oxidised to nitric acid and combined with the
remaining ammonia to
produce the nitrate. Another production method is used in the so-called
Odda process.
- Ammonium nitrate
decomposes into gases including oxygen when heated, ammonium nitrate can
be induced to decompose explosively by detonation.
- AN can be used as a
fertilizer or as an explosive.
- 95% of AN in
Australia is used as an explosive in the mining industry and 5% used as
a fertilizer mainly by horticulturalists.
- Council Of
Australian Governments (COAG) agreed to a national review of the
regulation, reporting and security for the storage, sale and handling of
hazardous materials.
- The review resulted
in a recommendation to regulate use of AN.
- In a fire, all types
of ammonium nitrate may melt and decompose with the release of toxic
fumes which may be yellow or brown.
- Ammonium nitrate
should normally be stored in single storey, dedicated, well-ventilated
buildings that are constructed from materials that will not burn, such
as concrete, bricks or steel.
- Clean the store
before it is used for ammonium nitrate.
