Ammonium nitrate is a large volume industrial inorganic chemical, used mostly as a high grade (34% N) straight nitrogen fertilizer containing both ammonium and nitrate forms of nitrogen and is one of the most commercially important ammonium compound. The raw material used for production of ammonium nitrate are vapor ammonia and 60% nitric acid (HNO3). Ammonia and nitric acid react to produce 65% concentrated Ammonia . Ammonia is highly stable and is decomposed into hydrogen and nitrogen overheating. During the process of production of ammonium nitrate some ammonia is lost from the AN solution during evaporation in the form of ammonical nitrogen (NH3-N). The emissions of ammonium nitrate and ammonia to water and to atmosphere are the major problems of the existing technology and steam and electricity are consumed for treatment of waste water (process condensate, process steam and air from prilling towers or granulators) in order to find opportunities for better utilization and to prevent the loss of raw material and there is a need to reduce the excess ammonical nitrogen in surface condensate and make maximum and economical utilization.
