1 ammonium nitrate requires 6 hydrogens for synthesis (three for each nitrogen atom), so, ideally, each ammonium nitrate requires 1.5 methane (CH4). Ammonium nitrate: 2xN=28; 3xO=48, 4xH=4 makes 80. Methane: 4xH + C = 16. 1.5 methane makes 24. So 1 million tons ammonium nitrate translates into 300 000 tons natural gas. At least. |
