About Ammonium Nitrite

Ammonium nitrite, also referred to as Azanium nitrite, is a chemical compound. Due to its high instability, it is not utilised in its purest state as it decomposes to water and nitrogen at room temperature. This compound occurs naturally in the atmosphere and can also be produced synthetically by the absorption of equal amounts of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in liquid ammonia. Additionally, it can be obtained through the oxidation of ammonia using hydrogen peroxide or ozone.

Properties of Ammonium Nitrite

Ammonium nitrite is pale yellow in appearance and has a chemical molecular formula NH4NO2. It possesses a molecular weight of 64.06 and a density of 1.69 g/cm3.  This compound remains stable under higher pH levels and lower temperature conditions, however, can explode at temperatures ranging from 60 to 70 °C as well as when its pH level goes below 7. Moreover, on dissolving in a concentrated aqueous solution, it decomposes at a faster rate compared to its dry crystal form.

Manufacturing Process of Ammonium Nitrite

Ammonium nitrite can be produced by multiple processes. The first method includes the precipitation of nitrite or barium with compounds such as ammonium sulphate, potassium nitrite with ammonium perchlorate, or ammonium chloride for the formation of intermediate precipitates. The resulting precipitates are then filtered out which take the form of crystals that are colourless and soluble in water, taking the eventual form of ammonium nitrite. The second method, which is a widely used industrial method, involves oxidation, where ammonia reacts with ozone to produce a clear ammonium nitrite crystal.

Synthesis of Ammonium Nitrite

Ammonium nitrite, NH4NO2, can be synthesized through several chemical methods. Below are the detailed descriptions:

1. Reaction of Ammonia with Nitrogen Oxides

Ammonium nitrite can be formed by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or nitric oxide (NO):

NH3 + NO2 → NH4NO2

NH3 + NO + O2 → NH4NO2

2. Neutralization of Nitrous Acid with Ammonia

A more controlled method involves the neutralization of nitrous acid (HNO2) with ammonia. This can be done in an aqueous solution:

HNO2 + NH3 → NH4NO2

Nitrous acid is unstable and typically prepared in situ by the reaction of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) with a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid (HCl):

NaNO2 + HCl → HNO2 + NaCl

Then, ammonia is added to the nitrous acid solution to form ammonium nitrite.

Stability and Storage

Ammonium nitrite is a highly unstable compound, especially when dry. Due to its instability, ammonium nitrite is used immediately after production in aqueous solution to minimise the risk of decomposition.

Applications and Drivers of Ammonium Nitrite

Ammonium nitrite serves various purposes in different industrial sectors. Firstly, it is used as a microbicide and rodenticide for the elimination of microorganisms and control of rodent populations respectively. It also finds application as an agricultural pesticide, ensuring the protection of crops. It plays a crucial role in the production of nitrogen gas and is involved in the production of ammonium cobalt-nitrite. Lastly, the most prevalent use of ammonium nitrite lies in the usage of its compounds in the manufacture of explosives.
