Production of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate

In countries where AN is not allowed for application, CAN is a substitute. CAN is preferred over AN for use on acid soils. In the early 1960s, the usual grade of CAN was about 21% N this grade corresponds to 60% AN the grade has been increased in most countries to 26% - 27.5% N (about 75% AN). [Pg.236]

CAN is produced by mixing concentrated ammonium nitrate solution with ground calcitic or dolomitic limestone, chalk marl, or precipitated calcium carbonate from nitrophosphate production. The mixing should be done quickly to avoid deccxnpoation of the ammonium nitrate  [Pg.236]

The p rilling tower produces only seed prills from about 35% of the ammonium nitrate solution. The prills are directed to the swelling drum where the rest of the AN and calcium carbonate arc added to the AN solution. The fines arc recycled. [Pg.237]

Pan granulation of CAN has proven difficult because the pan is very sensitive to heat and material balance factors. The product shape is irregular. The Sphcrodizeti processes and all other processes need additives  [Pg.237]
