@X082@X05.@X0833@X03 AMMONIUM NITRATE
@X08 Ammonium nitrate is a very powerful but insensitive high@X05-@X08order
explosive@X05.@X08 It could be made very easily by pouring nitric acid into a large
flask in an ice bath@X05.@X08 Then@X05,@X08 by simply pouring household ammonia into the flask
and running away@X05,@X08 ammonium nitrate would be formed@X05.@X08 After the materials have
stopped reacting@X05,@X08 one would simply have to leave the solution in a warm place
until all of the water and any unneutralized ammonia or acid have evaporated@X05.@X08
There would be a fine powder formed@X05,@X08 which would be ammonium nitrate@X05.@X08 It must
be kept in an airtight container@X05,@X08 because of its tendency to pick up water from
the air@X05.@X08 The crystals formed in the above process would have to be heated VERY
gently to drive off the remaining water@X05.@X08
