Ammonium Chlorate NH

Ammonium chlorate, NH C10 3, S an extremely unstable com- pound that decomposes violentiy at temperatures well below 100 C. If a mixture containing both potassium chlorate and an ammonium salt is prepared, there is a good possibility that an exchange reaction will occur — especially in the presence of moisture - to form some of the ammonium chlorate... 

Ammonium chlorate, NHcombustible substances. A mixture of ammonium chlorate and shellac in a ratio 10 2 burns with a rate of 1.2- 1.3 nira per second, producing a slight yellowish flame. This burning rate resembles that of potassium chlorate composition.

Ammonium chlorate decomposes gradually at room temperature. Needless to say compositions which contain ammonium perchlorate and potassium chlorate must be avoided. An experiment for producing ammonium chlorate by above reaction can be carried out as follows Add 35 grams of potassium chlorate, KCIO, to 100 ml. of water and dissolve it with heat. Add 36 grams of ammonium perchlorate, NH fClOi., to the solution and stir it well when a large quantity of white crystals will appear these are almost all potassium perchlorate. Leave it to cool to room temperature. Remove the crystals by filtration. The remaining liquid is mainly ammonium chlorate. Evaporate the mother liquor to about 30 ml. on a water bath. Cool it to room...

For vanadium solvent extraction, Hon powder can be added to reduce pentavalent vanadium to quadrivalent and trivalent Hon to divalent at a redox potential of —150 mV. The pH is adjusted to 2 by addition of NH, and an oxyvanadium cation is extracted in four countercurrent stages of mixer—settlers by a diesel oil solution of EHPA. Vanadium is stripped from the organic solvent with a 15 wt % sulfuric acid solution in four countercurrent stages. Addition of NH, steam, and sodium chlorate to the strip Hquor results in the precipitation of vanadium oxides, which are filtered, dried, fused, and flaked (22). Vanadium can also be extracted from oxidized uranium raffinate by solvent extraction with a tertiary amine, and ammonium metavanadate is produced from the soda-ash strip Hquor. Fused and flaked pentoxide is made from the ammonium metavanadate (23).
