Abstract

Generally, the instant disclosure relates to fertilizer compositions and methods of making and using the same. More specifically, the instant disclosure relates to blast suppressant and/or blast resistant ammonium nitrate fertilizer compositions, as well as methods of making and using the same.

Claims (32)

1 . A fertilizer composition, comprising:

an ammonium nitrate material; and

an effective amount of a stabilizer material to result in. a specific impulse of not greater than 13.5 kPa*ms/kg when measured in accordance with a blast propagation test;

wherein the stabilizer material comprises an aluminum production byproduct, wherein the stabilizer material is at least 12.5 wt. % of the total fertilizer composition.

2 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the aluminum production byproduct comprises: a layered double hydroxide.

3 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer material comprises hydrocalumite.

4 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer material comprises hydrotalcite.

5 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer material comprises hydroxyapatite.

6 . In some embodiments, the stabilizer material comprises an additive.

7 . A fertilizer composition, comprising:

an ammonium nitrate material; and

an effective amount of a stabilizer material to result in a specific impulse of not greater than 13.5 kPa*ms/kg when measured in accordance with a blast propagation test;

wherein the stabilizer material is selected from the group consisting of: layered double hydroxide, apatite, and combinations thereof;

wherein the stabilizer material is at least 12.5 wt. % of the total fertilizer composition.

8 . The fertilizer of claim 7 , further comprising a filler material.

9 . The fertilizer of claim 8 , wherein the filler material is selected from the group consisting of: bauxite residue, fire day, red lime, and combinations thereof.

10 . A fertilizer composition, comprising:

an ammonium nitrate material; and

an effective amount of a stabilizer material to result in a specific impulse of not greater than 13.5 kPa*ms/kg when measured in accordance with a blast propagation test;

wherein the stabilizer material comprises hydrotalcite, wherein the stabilizer material is at least 12.5 wt. % to not greater than 20 wt. % of the total fertilizer composition.

11 . A fertilizer composition, comprising:

an ammonium nitrate material; and

an effective amount of a stabilizer material to result in a specific impulse of not greater than 13.5 kPa*ms/kg when measured in accordance with a blast propagation test;

wherein the stabilizer material comprises hydrotalcite, wherein the stabilizer material is at least 12.5 wt. % to not greater than 20 wt. % of the total fertilizer composition.

12 . A fertilizer composition, comprising:

an ammonium nitrate material; and

an effective amount of a stabilizer material to result in a specific impulse of not greater than 115 kPa*ms/kg when measured in accordance with a blast propagation test;

wherein the stabilizer material comprises hydrocalumite, wherein the stabilizer material is at least 12.5 wt. % to not greater than 20 wt. % of the total fertilizer composition.

13 . A fertilizer composition, comprising:

an ammonium nitrate material; and

an effective amount of a stabilizer material to result in a specific impulse of not greater than 13.5 kPa*ms/kg when measured in accordance with a blast propagation test;

wherein the stabilizer material comprises apatite, wherein the stabilizer material is at least 12.5 wt. % to not greater than 20 wt. % of the total fertilizer composition.
