Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO) — Decomposition. Ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO) is a mixture of solid ammonium nitrate and mineral oil. Easy handling allows it to be used safely in mining, stone quarrying, and tunnel construction. The basic reaction during detonation is the decomposition of the hydrocarbon and the ammonium nitrate into CO 2, ...
Read More2015-4-14 Ammonium nitrate, without a reasonable amount of fuel had essentially zero risk of detonating. Obviously, this does not apply to grinding premixed pyrotechnic materials that include ammonium nitrate and fuels. Thus still will not result in a detonation, but could very well ignite and burst the grinder or blender.

The capability to intensify fire depends not only on the AN content of the fertiliser but also on the nature of other components which may be present in the fertiliser and may have catalytic or thermal effect on the decomposition of AN.

Where the compound to be decomposed is a metal nitrate (e.g., a nuclear-fuel metal nitrate), a hydroxylated organic reducing agent therefor is provided in the solution.

Read More2020-10-10 The main difference between ammonium nitrate attacks on concrete compare to other aggressive solution is its reaction mechanism. According to Eq. , ammonium nitrate reacts with calcium hydroxide in the cement paste, which as a results, reduces the content of the calcium hydroxide in the cement paste. The reaction mechanism of concrete with other aggressive solution such as sulphate,

Using a pipette, 100 µL of ammonium nitrate stock solution was spotted onto the centre of each of the surfaces (five replicates of each test surface) and allowed to evaporate in order to recrystallise the explosive from the solvent.

The fuel oil is selected to provide an oil separation sufficiently low so that the explosive is detonatable. The fuel oil is also selected such that the viscosity of the explosive is sufficiently low so that the explosive may be loadable into a borehole.

In this paper, the combustion of a three-component mixture of sodium nitrate, magnesium, and carbon was studied. The latter was obtained by carbonizing a walnut shell or grinding gas mask adsorbents.

Unlike military and commercial explosives, home-made explosives do not have a legitimate use and recently, there has been an increase in the use of organic peroxides in explosive attacks [10] .
