Nitration manufacture

Three steps are essential to ammonium nitrate manufacture neutralization of nitric acid with ammonia to produce a concentrated solution evaporation to give a melt and processing by prilling or granulation to give the commercial soHd product. 

A slightly different method of guanidine nitrate manufacture was introduced in German plants during World War II. It consists in the chemical combination of ammonium nitrate and cyanamide as defined by eqns. (12) and (13). 

Both reactions are carried out in the same reactor. A diagrammatic outline of the plant for guanidine nitrate manufacture is illustrated by Fig. 173 [61]. 

Use a commercial flowchart simulation program such as HYSYS or ASPEN to simulate the ammonium nitrate manufacturing process described in Example 10.3-3.

The biggest chemical explosion in German history occurred at a nitrate manufacturing plant about 50 miles south of Frankfurt. The blast destroyed the plant, a warehouse, and leveled houses four miles away in the nearby village of Oppau. At least 561 lives were lost and some 1,500 people injured.
