Ammonium Nitrate Market Synopsis:
Ammonium nitrate, a salt of ammonia and nitric acid is a colorless and nearly odorless chemical compound. It is commercially available in a crystalline solid form and can be processed into prills for specific applications. It is soluble in water. It is generally used to make explosives, fertilizers, and as nutrient while producing antibiotics and yeast. Ammonium nitrate is hygroscopic in nature and readily absorbs moisture from the air, so it is generally stored in an air-conditioned warehouse or in sealed bags. It is a prominent fertilizer as the nitrate form present in the compound moves readily with soil water to the roots, where it is immediately available for the plant uptake. Moreover, it is utilized in food preservation as it can make an instant cold pack.
