What is the mixture anfo?
the mixture is 2 U.S. quarts of fuel oil per 50 lbs of ammonium nitrate. or %93.7 ammonium nitrate, and %6.3 fuel oil. A blasting cap is needed to detonate anfo because it is very stable unlike Acetone Peroxide which is a good booster when using ANFO because it takes a very little amount of Acetone Peroxide to set of ANFO and Acentone Peroxide can be set of with a flame or even as little as shooting it or hitting it with a hammer can set it off because it is so sensitive.
How long does Nitrate poisoning last and how long will it be before my body is free of Ammonium Nitrate from skin contact with ANFO?
As of now It has been three days.
Which mineral can be used to make fertilizers and explosives?
Nitrogen is an element that is found in fertilizers and explosives. It actually is the most common element in the earth's atmosphere. It also is found below the ground. It's necessary for plants to grow their above ground shoots.Nitrogen forms compounds, some of which occur naturally as minerals. Sodium nitrate and ammonium nitrate both can be used to accelerate an explosion and both can be used as a fertilizer.A typical explosive mixture called ANFO (for Ammonium Nitrate, Fuel Oil) is created fairly easily . ANFO is used in coal mining and in making improvised explosive devices. Since ANFO is fairly insensitive, it takes a stick or two of dynamite to initiate the explosion.
What does Ammonium Nitrate and Fuel Oil mixed together produce?
The mixture is referred to as ANFO. The explosive mixture is widely used in the mining and heavy construction industry. A hiogh expllosive detinator is required to get the mixture to release it's potential energy.
How do you detonate ANFO?
This reaction is an example of detonation, a relative of the chemical process of combustion. ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil) contains both an oxidizer and fuel source. The ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) reacts with the alkanes in fuel oil (CnH2n+2) to produce Nitrogen (N2), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
What is ANFO?
Anfo's population is 489.
What is Anfo's population?
Anfo's population is 489.
What is the area of Anfo?
The area of Anfo is 23 square kilometers.
How much does ANFO cost per pound?
Average ANFO cost in the US is $.48 cents per pound if bought in bulk.
How many joules for 1 gram anfo?
A gram of ANFO explosive yields about 6300 Joules of energy. The value is usually expressed as 6.3 MJ/kg.
What is the blast radius for a 500lb ANFO bomb?
150 yards
What does ANFO stand for?
Read The Third Day, The Frost. By John Marsden.

Can ANFO be detonated by too much pressure or by shock?
No, it can't be detonated without an explosive.

Is it safe and legal to make ANFO?
Legal to make and use on site. Hard to ignite without a blasting cap or other device. Safety depends on how you use it.
