Calcium nitrate handling

Safe-Handling Perchlorate Explosives Calcium Nitrate Explosive Composition... [Pg.367]

As a fertilizer, ammonium nitrate contains 35% nitrogen and, because of the explosive nature of the compound, precautions in handling are required. This danger can be minimized by introducing calcium carbonate into the mixture, reducing the effective nitrogen content of the product to 26% by weight. [Pg.55]

The resulting AN solution may be handled in various ways103. It can be stored as a solution, used in down-stream plants or sold as a solution it can be formed into solid AN by prilling or granulation, or it can be mixed with a solid filler. The most common filler is calcium carbonate in the form of ground limestone, dolomite or by-product calcium carbonate. This product is known as Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) and can be prilled or granulated. Granular products that contain AN and either ammonium or calcium sulphate are also manufactured. [Pg.251]
