Only under extreme conditions of heat and pressure in a confined space will ammonium nitrate explode. Ammonium perchlorate can decompose at high temperatures forming toxic gases such as chlorine hydrogen chloride and nitrogen oxides.
Except where otherwise noted data are given for materials in their standard state at 25 C 77 F 100 kPa.
Ammonium nitrate hazards. Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula NH 4 NO 3. It is a white crystalline solid consisting of ions of ammonium and nitrate. It is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic as a solid although it does not form hydrates.
It is predominantly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer. Global production was estimated at 216 million tonnes in 2017. Ammonium nitrate rating is non flammable a fire from ammonium nitrate is very unlikely but it is a strong oxidizing agent that can cause combustible materials such as wood paper and oil to ignite.
Only under extreme conditions of heat and pressure in a confined space will ammonium nitrate explode. Should such an incident occur there may be a visible cloud of ammonia carbon dioxide and. H272 H302 H315 H319 H335.
Related compounds Related compounds. Ammonium nitrate CeriumIV oxide. Except where otherwise noted data are given for materials in their standard state at 25 C 77 F 100 kPa.
Ammonium nitrate involved in a fire may detonate especially if confined. Evacuate the area in all directions for one 1 mile or more if any amount of ammonium nitrate is involved in a fire. Evacuation is recommended if the initial incipient fire not involving ammonium nitrate becomes intense.
General extinguishers may be used on the initial fire not involving ammonium nitrate such as. PROPERTIES AND HAZARDS Ammonium nitrate has a melting point of 1700C and decomposes above 2100C. It is not in itself combustible but as it is an oxidising agent it can assist other materials to burn even if air is excluded.
Ammonium nitrate will not explode due to the friction and impact found in normal handling but it can be detonated under heat and confinement or severe shock. Although NFPA 490-1970 addresses numerous hazards associated with the storage of ammonium nitrate some aspects of the standard as codified in 1910109i are not enforceable by OSHA as they contain requirements specific to an authority having jurisdictiontypically a municipal or state code official. These officials have authority for enforcing municipal building fire plumbing and.
Ammonium chloride is a white crystalline solid. It is soluble in water37. The primary hazard is the threat posed to the environment.
Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. The major hazards encountered in the use and handling of ammonium hydroxide stem from its toxicologic properties. Toxic by all routes ie inhalation ingestion and dermal contact exposure to this colorless intensely pungent-smelling liquid may occur from its use in fertilizers dyes explosives plastics cleansing agents fibers and resins.
Effects from exposure may include extreme. We will be publishing Issue 1 of The School STEM Technician at noon on the 1st December 2021 via the SSERC website. This is our newest publication and has been created to support the school technician profession in Scotland.

These Regulations impose requirements with respect to the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances. The expressions major accident and dangerous substances are defined in regulation 21. The Regulations implement Directive 201218EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances.
Ammonium perchlorate can decompose at high temperatures forming toxic gases such as chlorine hydrogen chloride and nitrogen oxides. Closed containers or tanks may rupture and explode if heated. It does not burn but is a powerful oxidizer and explosive when mixed with combustible materials.
It is highly reactive and impact or high temperatures can cause violent decomposition or explosion. Marilyn works as a supervisor in a plant that uses ammonium nitrate to make gunpowder and blasting agents. What physical hazard is associated with the ammonium nitrate in the plant where Marilyn works.

Develop and administer a hazardous materials training module for career and volunteer fire departments that addresses fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate FGAN and other hazardous materials or chemicals that could pose new specialized hazards. Ensure that the training includes multiple delivery methods to enable a broad reach.
The training should allow for instructor-led web-based and train. Used to manufacture ammonium nitrate. Used in the purification of nitric acid.
