Ammonium Nitrate Production Cost Reports

Ammonium Nitrate production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Ammonium Nitrate production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Ammonium Nitrate. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Ammonium Nitrate (NH4NO3) is a crystalline solid of ammonia and nitric acid. It is an ionic salt comprising ammonium cation (NH4)+ and the nitrate anion (NO3). It is made in large industrial quantities.

Ammonium nitrate is a colourless crystalline substance that is soluble in water. It has a melting point of 169.6 °C [337.3 °F]. Its colour varies from white to brown. It is classed as an oxidizer and revvs the burning process; however, it is not explosive on its own but does when in contact with other combustible materials. It has a molar mass/molecular weight of 80.043 grams per mole. It has a density of 1.725 grams per cubic centimetre. It's melting, and boiling points are 442.8K (169.6oC) and 483K (210oC).

It is used extensively in fertilizers as a nutrient for producing antibiotics and yeast. It is also used for making explosives in order to modify the detonation rate of explosives like nitroglycerin which is driving the market growth. It is usually employed in insecticides, pyrotechniques, and herbicides and for manufacturing nitrous oxide.

Furthermore, it acts as an absorbent for nitrogen oxides, and in freezing mixtures as an ingredient, in rocket propellants as an oxidizer and as a nutrient in yeast and antibiotics, which is propelling the industry. Also, it is employed in the mining and construction industry as an explosives component.
