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.

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.
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.
