Hazard Predictions

• Explosive: Reaction products may be explosive or sensitive to shock or friction

No evidence was found for a hazardous reaction when non-redox-active inorganic compounds are mixed with inorganic nitrate or nitrite salts. However, nitrates and nitrites are explosive under some conditions, so they should always be handled with caution.

Chloride ion can make ammonium nitrate more sensitive to detonation. Ammonium nitrate is normally quite difficult to detonate (Weston, C. W., Papcun, J. R. and Dery, M. 2003. Ammonium Compounds. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).

Sodium chloride is a co-product in the oxidation of sodium nitrite to sodium nitrate with sodium hypochlorite. Therefore, sodium chloride is unlikely to react with sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate (Laue, W., Thiemann, M., Scheibler, E. and Wiegand, K. W. 2000. Nitrates and Nitrites. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
