Project Detail:
Ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3 ) is produced by neutralizing nitric acid (HNO 3 ) with ammonia (NH 3 ). Ammonium Nitrate is a popular fertilizer globally, but its application as fertilizer is not permissible in India. In India, it finds its application mainly in manufacturing of Industrial Explosives. Ammonium nitrate is employed to modify the detonation rate of explosives, such as nitroglycerin in the so-called ammonia dynamites, or as an oxidizing agent in the ammonals, which are mixtures of ammonium nitrate and powdered aluminum. Technical Ammonium Nitrate (TAN) is used primarily for all non-fertilizer applications. It is a key ingredient in pharmaceuticals, mining, power, construction, and steel industries.
Proposed project will manufacture Weak Nitric Acid (WNA), Concentrated Nitric Acid (CNA) and Technical Ammonium Nitrate (TAN). In India, Technical Ammonium Nitrate (TAN) is primarily used to manufacture explosives for mining. Coal mining, limestone for cement manufacturing, iron ore mining and stone quarrying activities require controlled blasting, thus need Ammonium Nitrate (TAN) based explosives.
Total Project Cost: Cr. 1170
