Coating Methods for Surface Modification of Ammonium Nitrate: A Mini-Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using ammonium nitrate (AN) as a propellant oxidizer is limited due to its hygroscopicity. This review consolidated the available information of various issues pertaining to the coating methods of the surface modification of ammonium nitrate for reducing its hygroscopicity. Moreover this review summarizes the recent advances and issues involved in ammonium nitrate surface modification by physical, chemical and encapsulation coating methods to reduce the hygroscopicity. Furthermore, coating materials, process conditions, and the hygroscopicity test conditions are extensively discussed along, with summaries of the advantages and disadvantages of each coating method. Our findings indicated that the investigation and development of anti-hygroscopicity of AN, and the mechanisms of surface modification by coating urgently require further research in order to further reduce the hygroscopicity. Therefore, this review is useful to researchers concerned with the improvement of ammonium salts' anti-hygroscopicity.

Ammonium nitrate (AN) is commonly used as a fertilizer and is the fundamental ingredient of industrial explosives [1]. It has been observed that one of the most important factors that affect explosive performance of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil is the prills volume of porosity. The large amount of porosity identified in explosive grade AN prills allows for an absorption rate between 12 and 16 ...
