The use of ammonium nitrate due to its high nitrogen content (>26%) has made it the most utilizedfertilizer in agricultural areas. However, being easily accessible with this feature encouraged its use fordifferent purposes. Ammonium nitrate is usually produced with large tonnage (>50ton/h) and highcost (>$20million) production processes. Therefore, any changes that can be made in the processmust be applied in the process so that the result can be achieved easily without increasing the costin any way. In this study, it is aimed to reduce the explosion sensitivity of ammonium nitrate usedfor explosive purposes in terrorist attacks. Thus, it was aimed to solve the problem by adding variouschemicals to the ammonium nitrate production process so that it can only be used for agriculturalpurposes. For this purpose, the production process was examined by adding carboxymethyl celluloseand polyethylene glycol to the ammonium nitrate production process and the accuracy of the resultswas tested by instrumental analysis methods
