Improvement of anti-caking properties of ammonium nitrate particles that are stored in a closed container

The present application relates to a closed container containing ammonium nitrate (AN) particles in an amount of 91 to 99.75 weight% and desiccant in an amount of 0.25 and 9 weight%, wherein the AN particles have a water content of between 0 and 0.7 weight%, and the desiccant particles comprise betw...

More Information
Summary:The present application relates to a closed container containing ammonium nitrate (AN) particles in an amount of 91 to 99.75 weight% and desiccant in an amount of 0.25 and 9 weight%, wherein the AN particles have a water content of between 0 and 0.7 weight%, and the desiccant particles comprise between 50 and 95 weight% of AN and between 5 and 50 weight% of magnesium nitrate dispersed in the AN. The application furthermore relates to a method for producing of ammonium nitrate particles that are stored in a closed container and having improved anti-caking properties.
