Technology of inorganic substances. Mineral fertilizers and salts. Thermal decomposition

The presented manual discusses the results of studies in the field of thermal stability of ammonium nitrate and complex fertilizers based on it, performed in recent years, including the chemistry of fertilizers, the kinetics of thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate and its mixtures and macrocolytic studies of thermal expansion of complex fertilizers. The main provisions are generalized to assess the security of the technology for obtaining, granulizing and storing fertilizers. The most famous cases of accidents associated with the participation of ammonium and fertilizer nitrate based on it are systematized. The most probable causes of their occurrence are considered.
The book is intended for scientists, engineers, managers and students of chemical and chemical and technological universities, as well as for all those interested in thermal stability of ammonium and fertilizer on its basis and security issues when they are obtained, stored and transported.
