The main source for ammonium nitrate is high-nitrogen fertilizers. Ammonium nitrate is industrially produced through an acid-base reaction of ammonia with nitric acid using anhydrous ammonia gas and concentrated nitric acid. It is commonly used in agriculture, and it has also been used as an oxidizing agent in explosives, especially improvised explosive devices.♥
