Urea nitrate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production |
General Description
A crystalline compound arising from the neutralization of urea with nitric acid. Melting point 152°C. Slightly soluble in water. Soluble in alcohol. Primary hazard is blast of an instantaneous explosion, not flying projectiles or fragments. |
|
Air & Water Reactions
Easily ignited. Burns very vigorously to generate toxic oxides of nitrogen. Slightly soluble in water. |

Reactivity Profile
UREA NITRATE is explosive when left in dry state. Wetting reduces possibility of explosion but may explode under prolonged exposure to heat or fire, even when wet. Urea nitrate reacts with strong oxidizer such as perclorates and hypochlorites. With hypochlorites Urea nitrate forms a compound nitrogen trichloride which explodes spontaneously in air (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 63:3530-32). Organic nitrates may explode when shocked, exposed to heat or flame or by spontaneous chemical reaction. Urea nitrate must be stored in a cool, ventilated place, away from acute fire hazards and easily oxidized materials. Also reacts violently with Al; BP; cyanides; esters; PN2H; P; NaCN; SnCl2; sodium hypophosphite; thiocyanates. Dangerous disaster hazard due to fire and explosion hazard. On decomposition, they emit toxic fumes. They are powerful oxidizing agents which may cause violent reaction with reducing materials. Nitrates should be protected carefully in storage. (SAX and Lewis, 1987) p.664. Decomposition is catalyzed by the presence of heavy metals such as lead or iron in trace amounts [Bretherick, 1995, pg. 201]. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion. Decomposed with explosive evolution of gas during the evaporation of an alkaline solution. [Bretherick, 1995, p. 201]. |
