Ammonium Nitrate Storage
I am looking for guidance for the storage of ammonium nitrate in the lab. The ammonium nitrate container size is 2.5 kg.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I don’t have personal experience with ammonium nitrate, but I am aware of its explosive capabilities being the source of multiple disasters. Definitely a high-hazard chemical. There is a thorough OSHA interpretation covering ammonium nitrate storage requirements, which may serve as a nice springboard: www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2014-12-03
