Ammonium nitrate contains 85 % of the chemical energy of nitroglycerin.

* Ammonal: Ammonium nitrate and aluminium powder.

** ANFO: Ammonium nitrate and fuel oil.

Ammonium cation is found in a variety of salts such as ammonium carbonate, ammonium chloride, and ammonium nitrate.

* Ammonium nitrate disasters

Ammonium nitrate has a lower explosive velocity and correspondingly lower brisance than TNT but is cheaper to make.

Ammonium dinitramide, NH < sub > 4 </ sub > N ( NO < sub > 2 </ sub >)< sub > 2 </ sub >, is being considered as a 1-to-1 chlorine-free substitute for ammonium perchlorate in composite propellants.

The NAR and the TRA successfully sued the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ( BATFE ) over the classification of Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant ( APCP ), the most commonly used propellant in high-power rocket motors, as an explosive.

This propellant is commonly referred to as Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant, or simply APCP.

The NAR ( along with the Tripoli Rocketry Association, the other major governing body in hobby rocketry ) was involved in a nine-year lawsuit against the BATFE regarding the status of Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant ( APCP ), the most common propellant used in hobby rocketry, as an explosive.

The online data sheet for Brasso wadding in the UK lists the ingredients as C8-10 Alkane / Cycloalkane / Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Quartz, C14-18 and C16-18 unsaturated Fatty acids, Kaolinite, Aqua, Ammonium Hydroxide and Iron Hydroxide.

Brasso liquid lists a slightly different mix ; C8-10 Alkane / Cycloalkane / Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Quartz, Kaolin, C12-20 Saturated and Unsaturated Monobasic Fatty Acids, Aqua and Ammonium Hydroxide.

Wadding: C8-10 Alkane / Cycloalkane / Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Quartz, Ammonium Tallate and Colorant.

Liquid: C8-10 Alkane / Cycloalkane / Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Quartz, Kaolin and Ammonium Tallate.

JAXA describe the fuel as " HTPB / AP / Al = 12 / 68 / 20 " which means, proportioned by mass, HTPB 12 % ( binder and fuel ), Ammonium perchlorate 68 % ( oxidizer ), and Aluminium powder, 20 % ( fuel ).

Ammonium vanadate ( V ) ( NH < sub > 4 </ sub > VO < sub > 3 </ sub >) can be successively reduced with elemental zinc to obtain the different colors of vanadium in these four oxidation states.

Ammonium is also a general name for positively charged or protonated substituted amines and quaternary ammonium cations ( NR < sub > 4 </ sub >< sup >+</ sup >), where one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by organic radical groups ( indicated by R ).

Ammonium nitrite can be made from dinitrogen trioxide, N < sub > 2 </ sub > O < sub > 3 </ sub >, which is formally the anhydride of nitrous acid:

Ammonium chloride is mainly used in salty liquorice candy, with concentrations up to about 8 percent.

* Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant

Ammonium Perchlorate is classed as an explosive by the UK Health and Safety Executive, so Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant ( AP ) motors formerly required the purchaser to have an Explosives Licence and Recipient Competent Authority Transfer Document ( RCA ).

Ammonium is expected to behave as a metal ( NH ions in a sea of electrons ) at very high pressures, such as inside gas giant planets such as Uranus and Neptune.

Ammonium sulfate is commonly used as its solubility is so high that salt solutions with high ionic strength are allowed.

The chapter of its industrialization started when it was selected as best option for a fertilizer factory due to its apt geographical conditions in the year 1944 by the Viceroy's Executive Council following recommendations submitted in November 1944 by a three members technical mission consisting of G S Gowing and J Rigg, both of Imperial Chemical Industries and T H Riley of the Association of British Chemical Plants Manufacturers, Britain for setting up a single large fertilizer factory to produce 3, 50, 000 tons Ammonium Sulphate per annum with Gypsum as raw material.
