Hazard Predictions

Heavy metals catalyze the mildly explosive decomposition of ammonium nitrate, which can be hazardous if a large quantity of ammonium nitrate is involved (Zapp, K.-H., Wostbrock, K.-H., Schäfer, M., Sato, K., Seiter, H., Zwick, W., Creutziger, R. and Leiter, H. 2000. Ammonium Compounds. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).

Ammonium chloride solution is corrosive to lead and other nonferrous metals (Zapp, K.-H., Wostbrock, K.-H., Schäfer, M., Sato, K., Seiter, H., Zwick, W., Creutziger, R. and Leiter, H. 2000. Ammonium Compounds. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).

Aqueous solutions of ammonium halides tend to attack ferrous and other metal surfaces, especially those of copper and copper alloys (Weston, C. W., Papcun, J. R. and Dery, M. 2003. Ammonium Compounds. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).
