No, it is not used, the industrial preparation of Ammonium Nitrate depends on simple neutralization reaction between ammonia (Base) and Nitric (Acid) giving Ammonium Nitrate.
Even the process of prilling or granulation doesn't include addition of Acetone.
I believe the Ammonium Nitrate Acetone mixture is hazard as it is a combination of strong oxidizer and highly inflammable substance.

Does any one no the word equation for making ammonium nitrate?
Ammonia + Nitric Acid = Ammonium Nitrate NH3 + HNO3 = NH4NO3
Why is ammonium nitrate useful as fertilizer?
Nitrogen is absolutely essential for life and is a main component of any fertilizer. Ammonium Nitrate has tow nitrogens and is extremely soluble making it very easy to deliver to the plant/crop.
What is the acid and alkali used in making ammonium sulphate?
Nitric Acid is used to make Ammonium Nitrate
Where can you get ammonium perchlorate?
You don't need to know because making your trying to make BOMBS illegally. Terrible grammar aside; the person posting the above response doesn't understand that there are alot of legitimate uses for Ammonium perchlorate. The most common use is in model rocketry for the hobbyist. Why does he automatically assume that somebody looking for NH4ClO4 is involved in bomb making? I agree, ammonium perchlorate is great for rocketry, but expensive and hard to find because everyone thinks it is used for bombs and nothing else. Also, if someone was going to make a bomb they would use ammonium nitrate because it is much cheaper.
What is the equation for lead nitrate?
Chemical formula for water is H2O and for lead nitrate is Pb(NO3). Lead nitrate simply dissolves in water and making water poisonous.
Does any one no the word equation for making ammonium nitrate?
Ammonia + Nitric Acid = Ammonium Nitrate NH3 + HNO3 = NH4NO3
Is ammonium nitrate covalent or ionic bond?
Ammonium nitrate has an ionic bond. Ammonium has an overall charge of 1+, making it a positive cation. Nitrate has an overall charge of 1-, making it a negative anion. When bonded together, nitrate gives ammonia an electron, resulting in an ionic bond being formed between them.
What color is amonium nirate?
Considering you are probably making smoke bombs, I must say that this is not all you can do with the wonderful compound of ammonium nitrate. You may want to look deeper into the internet beyond searching easy bombs on google. Look up acetone peroxide but be sure to read many articles on it. Also, AN (ammonium nitrate) is white

Nitrogen is absolutely essential for life and is a main component of any fertilizer. Ammonium Nitrate has tow nitrogens and is extremely soluble making it very easy to deliver to the plant/crop.
Example how a cold pack works?
Ammonium nitrate and water are in separate compartments in the cold pack. To activate the cold pack, you break the compartments in the pack so the ammonium nitrate and water mix. The ammonium nitrate absorbs all of the heat, making the water ice cold.
Why use ammonium nitrate in explosive?
The reason why ammonium nitrate is being used in explosives because ammonium nitrate is cheaper than the other ingredients/materials in making explosive devices. Unlike the others, you can purchase this thing easily without being asked for the exact usage. it is because farmers usually used this as fertilizers.
What is the acid and alkali used in making ammonium sulphate?
Nitric Acid is used to make Ammonium Nitrate
What uses nitric acid making paper making paint or making fertilizers?
Nitric acid is largely used to prepare ammonium and calcium nitrate, common fertilizers for agriculture.
What is the material used in dynamite?
It is made out of explosive materials and compounds. Such as potassium nitrate and ammonium nitrate which are explosive and used to make bombs. It first have a hard case filled with sawdust or a hard material that absorbs energy. That material is soaked with nitroglycerin which is an explosive chemical. Then a charger or cap covers it attached to a plug or fuse that detonates it. But getting nitroglycerin is sometimes dangerous so people mostly use potassium nitrate of ammonium nitrate for making dynamite.
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).
Chemicals that are safe when apart dangerous together?
One example: Ammonium Nitrate and Fuel Oil. I'd hardly call these safe when apart! A whole town in Germany was once destroyed when a barn full of fertilizer (ammonium nitrate) blew up. (Ammonium nitrate is a solid, but all the elements making it up are gases). Fuel oil is not exactly safe either - it's illegal in many countries to store it yourself. How about carbon and oxygen? Diamonds exist happiy in air, but carbon monoxide is a killer.
Where can organic nitrogen be found in the nitrogen Cycle?
Starting with ammonium, NH4, which nitrifiying bacteria transform into nitrate (NO3-)and nitrite (NO2-). However, of these compounds, only nitrate is assimilated by plants, making it organic. If not assimilated by plants, denitrifying bacteria take the nitrate and convert it back to atmospheric nitrogen (N2).
