What is Anhydrous Ammonia?
• “Dry” or pure ammonia – NH3
• Colorless gas at room
  temperature and pressure
• Stored as a liquid under pressure
  (nurse tanks rated for > 250 psi)
• When pressure is released, liquid
  NH3 vaporizes forming an
  invisible highly hydrophilic gas
  with a very pungent odor
  (detectable at ~ 25 ppm)
• Low levels of human exposure
  can result in injury and higher
  levels can result in death
Boiling point = -28F (-33.3 C)
       Density = 681.9 kg/m3 at −33.3 C (liquid)
             How does this compare with water?



What is a picometer (pm)?




             atomic weight of N = 14 g/mol
            molecular weight of NH3 = 17 g/mol

                      14/17 = 82.3% N
Does NH3 dissolve in water?
                                  YES!!
                                NH3 is polar !




Solubility in water decreases with temperature
               47% (0 C)
               31% (25 C)
               28% (50 C)
What does “most reduced” mean?
 Nitrogen has many different oxidation states !

Industrial uses of NH3
Ammonium nitrate is used to make explosives as well as nitrous oxide
(laughing gas). Ammonium bicarbonate has applications in baking powder
formulations, in fire extinguishers and as a blowing agent in the
manufacture of polymers.

Ammonia is used in the production of hexamethylenediamine for nylon,
acrylonitrile for fibres and plastics, caprolactam for nylon, isocyanates for
polyurethanes, and hydrazine. It is used as a catalyst in phenol-
formaldehyde condensation and in urea-formaldehyde condensation to
make synthetic resins.

Ammonia is making a come-back as a refrigerant because it does not
contribute to ozone depletion and global warming when released to the
atmosphere. It is said to be an efficient refrigerant in food processing and
preservation as well as other refrigeration and air conditioning processes.

Other uses for ammonia include as a cleaning and bleaching agent, and a
household cleaner.
Why is NA the
  only region
 where NH3 is
used directly as
  a fertilizer?
TWA = time weighted average, STEL = short-term exposure limit, IDLH = immediately dangerous to life/health

Exposure to > 5000 ppm normally results in death

                           Means of Exposure
• Hose – rupture, not bled
• Connection – faulty, worn,
  improperly connected, freezing
• Valve – corroded, worn, or freezing
• Inhalation danger to lining of
  mouth, throat and lungs                                           • Tank rupture or pressure
• Does not support respiration                                        relief (Never fill tank over 85%)
  – suffocation danger

Part I
Discuss Sir William Crookes doomsday speech to the British Academy of Science in 1898. What was
he concerned about?

What happened in Germany 10 years after Crookes speech?

What is Dr. Vaclav Smil’s explanation for why China decided to increase its diplomatic relations with
the US during the Nixon administration?

Discuss the N budget on Bob Fry’s farm in Maryland. How much N is coming in and where is it going?

The end of part I includes some comments by Dr. James Galloway who is a leading investigator of the
ecological impacts of N pollution. Identify 4 problems that can occur when N leaks out of agricultural
systems into the surrounding environment.

Part 2
The phrase “paradox” of science is used midway through the second audio file about Fritz Haber.
What is meant by this phrase? Why is Haber considered a prime example of the “paradox of science”?

Briefly discuss Haber’s role in the weaponization of some of his scientific discoveries. Was he actively
involved? Why?

What happened to Haber’s first wife?

Why was Haber’s memorial service only attended by women?

Why was Zyklon B developed and how was it used during WWII?
If you want to learn more about Fritz Haber…
Founded in 1865, BASF is the world's largest chemical
company, ahead of Dow and DuPont, ~ 100,000 employees,
> $80 billion in sales in 2007.

Karl Bosch worked for BASF and designed the technology
for upscaling Haber’s method of NH3 production.

Nitrates and ammonia made up 59 percent of BASF sales in
1919.
Haber – Bosch process development
• Haber and Bosch tested > 6500 catalysts before
discovering the high activity of iron based
catalysts.
• Modern catalysts are still closely related to
original ones
• High pressure and temperature are needed
• At temperatures lower than 400C, the reaction
rate is very slow
→ minimum temperature required to reach the
equilibrium sufficiently fast
• Typical reaction conditions:
– 402C at inlet; 447 – 497C at outlet
– 100 – 250 bar
Catalysts lower the activation energy
     required to react N2 with H2
Industrial N fixation is very energy intensive

Domestic NH3 Production in 2010

Ammonia was produced by 12 companies at 24 plants in
 16 States in the United States during 2010; 4 additional
            plants were idle for the entire year.

Sixty percent of total U.S. ammonia production capacity
    was centered in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas
   because of their large reserves of natural gas, the
 dominant domestic feedstock. In 2010, U.S. producers
     operated at about 85% of their rated capacity.

Ammonia pipelines in the US




The pipelines are 8-10 inch diameter, constructed of plain carbon steel,
           with a total length of approximately 3000 miles.
Ammonia pipelines
Three companies served 11 States with 5,090 kilometers (km) of pipelines and
4,800 km of river barge transport; rail and truck were used primarily for interstate
or local delivery.

NuStar Energy L.P. continues to operate the Gulf Central ammonia pipeline. The
3,200-km ammonia pipeline originated in the Louisiana Delta area, where it had
access to three marine terminals and three anhydrous ammonia plants on the
Mississippi River. The capacity of this pipeline was about 2 million metric tons per
year (Mt/yr) of ammonia, with a storage capacity of more than 1 Mt. In 2008,
about 1.5 Mt of ammonia was shipped through the Gulf Central ammonia
pipeline.

On June 1 2010, Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. assumed operations of its
ammonia pipeline from a third-party pipeline company. The 1,750-km pipeline
system, which transported and distributed ammonia from production facilities in
Oklahoma and Texas to various distribution plants in the Midwest, had a delivery
capacity of about 820,000 t/yr. In 2008, 746,000 t of ammonia was shipped
through Magellan’s pipeline compared with 650,000 t in 2007.

Shift toward greater use of urea and UAN in the Midwest
Reasons for the decline in use of AA

                Concerns about human safety

    Concerns about impacts on soil (little research evidence)

 Rail companies are raising rates and limiting transport of NH3

      Weather/soil conditions limit NH3 application window

           UAN application is faster and more flexible

(1-2 thousand acre/day for UAN vs. a few hundred acres for NH3)

          UAN can be applied with other crop inputs

It is our preferred source of N for a number of reasons. My Dad remembers
going to ammonia meetings back in the late 1950's-1960's and the optimums
discussed at those meetings are still the same though we stretch into fall
application as part of strip till and earlier corn planting than in years past.

1- N is at depth. In the sometimes dry western corn belt, this is a good thing.
In 2007, my sidedress liquid N plots were 20 bu/ac less than fall+ planter 20#.
Rain stopped right after sidedressing. and the corn suffered.
2- N is banded..... a good thing.... concentrated in less soil volume. Unlike
sprayed on 28% or broadcast urea which is a horizontal band.
3- Concentrated form of N, less gallons handled.
4- Some suggest ammonium form better for corn. (Charles Tai, Purdue,
1980's I think)
5 "Here" pipelines and tankers handle most of it.
6- Have my own toolbars and controllers (can be used for both liquid or
ammonia, strip or sidedress).
7- Manly way to farm (big tractors, lots of iron, dangerous)
8- Believe that compaction (runway construction etc) is mostly a myth. Tillage
is harder on the soil than ammonia.
9- liming behind ammonia not that much worse. Ammonium sulfate is worse I
believe. Talk to a soil chemist.
Cons:

1- Manly way to farm (big tractors, lots of iron, dangerous)
2- Theft
3- Environmentalists target ammonia tanks in their advertising
4- requires soil incorporation (tillage via knife)
5- control equipment is expensive
6- gassing can burn emerged crop if done improperly

In summary, we (Dad and I) like AA and hope to keep using it as the primary
N source on our farm. I think the benefits outweigh the negatives and
believe that our yields would be somewhat lower (on average over the
years) and our costs would be higher if we had to switch to urea or liquids.
We hope that the regulators and nitrogen production companies don't take it
away.

Fall N application south of

“If the industry is to

Being smart about the timing of anhydrous application can
pay large dividends!

Wait until soil temperatures at the 4-inch depth are below
50 degrees Fahrenheit.

The rate of nitrification is significantly reduced when soil
temperature is below 50 degrees F, but microbial activity
continues until temperatures are below freezing.

In order to minimize risk, don’t apply nitrogen before the third
week of October in central Illinois, or the second week in
northern Illinois, even if air temperatures are getting cooler.

In addition, do not use nitrogen or nitrogen with a nitrification
inhibitor if you live south of Illinois Route 16 or if soils are
prone to leaching.
Nitrification inhibitors are not 100% effective
and are only cost-effective in some situations

Soil pH should be considered an important
     factor affecting the risks and benefits
 associated with fall applications of anhydrous
ammonia under climatic conditions found in the
                    Corn Belt.

Relatively rapid nitrification in higher-pH soils increases
  the potential for early season losses of fertilizer N by
leaching and denitrification of NO–3 before plants begin
              rapid growth and uptake of N.


N-Serve is probably a waste of money on low pH soils!
So what do you think of the rule of thumb – 10 lbs of NH3-N per unit of CEC?


      This may be one of the worst and misguided soil fertility concepts
      that I have heard (OK, ranks up there). I am not going to do the CEC
      math, but I think Joel has a decimal point or unit charge off
      somewhere. What is missing from his explanation is the fact that
      ammonia interacts with the soil organic matter and soil clays (beyond
      negative charges). Soil moisture helps retain and limit ammonia
      movement at injection time, but it is all of the soil properties that
      result in a small retention zone. Take a look at Joe Touchton's
      publications (and go way back in time to McIntosh and Frederick --
      1950's) and you will see the small size of an ammonia retention
      zone, even in "low" organic matter and "low" CEC soils. So, it is
      much more than CEC alone that influences ammonia retention.
What rate is this in lbs/ac?   8.4 g N/m in Kahola siltloam




                                  Izaurralde et al. (1987)
Anhydrous Ammonia
If uniformly distributed in a 2 million lb/ac plow layer,
               1000 ppm N = 2000 lbs of N/ac


Soils can clearly retain a lot more N than 10 lbs * CEC!
In the retention zone, 33% of the CEC is saturated with NH4+
Many anhydrous ammonia applicators give uneven
 applications, particularly applicators with older
                    manifolds.

 Manifold outlets across from the intake usually put
   out higher rates than outlets near the intake.

When an older manifold is used, the most important
management practice is to randomize the hoses. This
means that a row getting a low rate is more likely to
  be next to a row getting a high rate, which will
                minimize yield loss.

Anhydrous Ammonia
How Equaply® Works

Accurate control of mixed gas and liquid phases is difficult to
achieve. Conventional application systems do an excellent
job of applying consistent amounts of anhydrous ammonia
over a field. But they don't provide equal flow to each injector
knife. Heat exchangers cool the ammonia below its boiling
point before entering a flow meter and control valve. With
only liquid present, the valve can exert near perfect control.
However, when the anhydrous goes through the control valve
it loses pressure and boils, creating a mixture of liquid and
gas. This mixture is difficult to be split evenly in a manifold.
So distribution among the knives is random and variable.

Anhydrous Ammonia
Shallow placement of anhydrous
Traditional thinking is that anhydrous ammonia must be placed 8 in. deep in
the soil. The 2510H High Speed Applicator places anhydrous at 4.5-in. depth,
which is quite a difference from traditional thinking.

John Deere has tested this placement across the Corn Belt in real-world field
applications and plot-size treatments. More than 10,000 acres of spring pre-
plant anhydrous ammonia application yielded no reports of seedling damage.

To further evaluate shallow placement, plot-scale studies were initiated with
three university cooperators that put the concept to the test by planting right
over the anhydrous application track seven days after application.

To avoid seedling damage with the 2510H, the same recommendations apply
as when using a conventional shank applicator:

  * Allow a window of opportunity
  * Apply to the rows at an angle
  * Soil moisture conditions

Retention at a shallow depth
 What about retention at a shallow depth? John Deere has gone to
 great lengths to verify the anhydrous retention provided by a 2510H
 is equal to that of a shank.

 Three methods were used to measure retention.

 The brick soil sampling method entailed extracting a brick of soil in
 the injection zone 24 hours after application and send it off to a lab
 for analysis. A side-by-side comparison of the 2510H with a
 conventional shank revealed equal retention.

 The other two methods were the litmus paper test and the chamber
 technique to collect emissions.

 All three methods revealed equal retention with a shank applicator.

Anhydrous Ammonia
Does NH3 really have potential as a fuel?
 • Ammonia (NH3) can be produced from any raw
 energy source, including all fossil, renewable and
 nuclear sources.
 • Ammonia is cost competitive with gasoline as a
 transportation fuel (need to check on this)
 • Ammonia has extensive, worldwide transportation
 and storage infrastructure already in place
 • Ammonia is very environmentally friendly when used
 as a transportation fuel and produces only N2 and
 H20 at the tailpipe with low-cost emissions controls.
 • Ammonia has been successfully demonstrated in SI
 engines, CI engines, and fuel cells.

Anhydrous Ammonia

  • 1. What is Anhydrous Ammonia? • “Dry” or pure ammonia – NH3 • Colorless gas at room temperature and pressure • Stored as a liquid under pressure (nurse tanks rated for > 250 psi) • When pressure is released, liquid NH3 vaporizes forming an invisible highly hydrophilic gas with a very pungent odor (detectable at ~ 25 ppm) • Low levels of human exposure can result in injury and higher levels can result in death
  • 2. Boiling point = -28F (-33.3 C) Density = 681.9 kg/m3 at −33.3 C (liquid) How does this compare with water? What is a picometer (pm)? atomic weight of N = 14 g/mol molecular weight of NH3 = 17 g/mol 14/17 = 82.3% N
  • 3. Does NH3 dissolve in water? YES!! NH3 is polar ! Solubility in water decreases with temperature 47% (0 C) 31% (25 C) 28% (50 C)
  • 4. What does “most reduced” mean? Nitrogen has many different oxidation states ! Species Name Oxidation State NH3, NH4+ Ammonia, ammonium ion -3 Most reduced N2H4 Hydrazine -2 NH2OH Hydroxylamine -1 N2 Nitrogen 0 N2O Nitrous oxide +1 NO Nitric oxide +2 HNO2, NO2- Nitrous acid, nitrite ion +3 NO2 Nitrogen dioxide +4 HNO3, NO3- Nitric acid, nitrate ion +5 Most oxidized
  • 5. NH3 is an important component of the N cycle! Soil NH3 Plant biomass
  • 6. Human activities now dominate global cycling of reactive N > 150 million metric tons of NH3 synthesized in 2008
  • 7. Ammonia is an important industrial chemical. 85% Agrochemicals and Security: Security and Anhydrous Ammonia Anhyd-03
  • 8. Industrial uses of NH3 Ammonium nitrate is used to make explosives as well as nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Ammonium bicarbonate has applications in baking powder formulations, in fire extinguishers and as a blowing agent in the manufacture of polymers. Ammonia is used in the production of hexamethylenediamine for nylon, acrylonitrile for fibres and plastics, caprolactam for nylon, isocyanates for polyurethanes, and hydrazine. It is used as a catalyst in phenol- formaldehyde condensation and in urea-formaldehyde condensation to make synthetic resins. Ammonia is making a come-back as a refrigerant because it does not contribute to ozone depletion and global warming when released to the atmosphere. It is said to be an efficient refrigerant in food processing and preservation as well as other refrigeration and air conditioning processes. Other uses for ammonia include as a cleaning and bleaching agent, and a household cleaner.
  • 9. Why is NA the only region where NH3 is used directly as a fertilizer?
  • 10. TWA = time weighted average, STEL = short-term exposure limit, IDLH = immediately dangerous to life/health Ammonia Hazards • Caustic (alkali) burns • Frost bite • Inhalation danger to lining of mouth, throat and lungs • Does not support respiration – suffocation danger • Especially dangerous to eyes TWA = 25 ppm STEL = 35 ppm IDHL = 500 ppm Agrochemicals and Security: Security and Anhydrous Ammonia Anhyd-06
  • 11. Exposure to > 5000 ppm normally results in death Means of Exposure • Hose – rupture, not bled • Connection – faulty, worn, improperly connected, freezing • Valve – corroded, worn, or freezing • Inhalation danger to lining of mouth, throat and lungs • Tank rupture or pressure • Does not support respiration relief (Never fill tank over 85%) – suffocation danger • Very dangerous to eyes Agrochemicals and Security: Security and Anhydrous Ammonia Anhyd-07
  • 12. Personal Protective Equipment • Always use eye and hand protection when working with anhydrous ammonia • Use full-body protection when working with large tanks Agrochemicals and Security: Security and Anhydrous Ammonia Anhyd-08
  • 13. Response Water, water, water! Carry a squirt bottle on your person and in your vehicle for immediate first aid to eyes. Have a water hose installed near all storage tanks. Know the location of showers and eye wash stations. Agrochemicals and Security: Security and Anhydrous Ammonia Anhyd-09
  • 15. Fritz Haber – a man with many faces
  • 16. Laboratory apparatus designed by Fritz Haber in 1909 for producing NH3 from H2 and N2. The catalytic process took place in the large cylinder on the left.
  • 18. Part I Discuss Sir William Crookes doomsday speech to the British Academy of Science in 1898. What was he concerned about? What happened in Germany 10 years after Crookes speech? What is Dr. Vaclav Smil’s explanation for why China decided to increase its diplomatic relations with the US during the Nixon administration? Discuss the N budget on Bob Fry’s farm in Maryland. How much N is coming in and where is it going? The end of part I includes some comments by Dr. James Galloway who is a leading investigator of the ecological impacts of N pollution. Identify 4 problems that can occur when N leaks out of agricultural systems into the surrounding environment. Part 2 The phrase “paradox” of science is used midway through the second audio file about Fritz Haber. What is meant by this phrase? Why is Haber considered a prime example of the “paradox of science”? Briefly discuss Haber’s role in the weaponization of some of his scientific discoveries. Was he actively involved? Why? What happened to Haber’s first wife? Why was Haber’s memorial service only attended by women? Why was Zyklon B developed and how was it used during WWII?
  • 19. If you want to learn more about Fritz Haber…
  • 20. Founded in 1865, BASF is the world's largest chemical company, ahead of Dow and DuPont, ~ 100,000 employees, > $80 billion in sales in 2007. Karl Bosch worked for BASF and designed the technology for upscaling Haber’s method of NH3 production. Nitrates and ammonia made up 59 percent of BASF sales in 1919.
  • 21. Haber – Bosch process development • Haber and Bosch tested > 6500 catalysts before discovering the high activity of iron based catalysts. • Modern catalysts are still closely related to original ones • High pressure and temperature are needed • At temperatures lower than 400C, the reaction rate is very slow → minimum temperature required to reach the equilibrium sufficiently fast • Typical reaction conditions: – 402C at inlet; 447 – 497C at outlet – 100 – 250 bar

  • 39. Domestic NH3 Production in 2010 Ammonia was produced by 12 companies at 24 plants in 16 States in the United States during 2010; 4 additional plants were idle for the entire year. Sixty percent of total U.S. ammonia production capacity was centered in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas because of their large reserves of natural gas, the dominant domestic feedstock. In 2010, U.S. producers operated at about 85% of their rated capacity. http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/nitrogen/mcs-2011-nitro.pdf

  • 45. Ammonia pipelines in the US The pipelines are 8-10 inch diameter, constructed of plain carbon steel, with a total length of approximately 3000 miles.
  • 46. Ammonia pipelines Three companies served 11 States with 5,090 kilometers (km) of pipelines and 4,800 km of river barge transport; rail and truck were used primarily for interstate or local delivery. NuStar Energy L.P. continues to operate the Gulf Central ammonia pipeline. The 3,200-km ammonia pipeline originated in the Louisiana Delta area, where it had access to three marine terminals and three anhydrous ammonia plants on the Mississippi River. The capacity of this pipeline was about 2 million metric tons per year (Mt/yr) of ammonia, with a storage capacity of more than 1 Mt. In 2008, about 1.5 Mt of ammonia was shipped through the Gulf Central ammonia pipeline. On June 1 2010, Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. assumed operations of its ammonia pipeline from a third-party pipeline company. The 1,750-km pipeline system, which transported and distributed ammonia from production facilities in Oklahoma and Texas to various distribution plants in the Midwest, had a delivery capacity of about 820,000 t/yr. In 2008, 746,000 t of ammonia was shipped through Magellan’s pipeline compared with 650,000 t in 2007. http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/nitrogen/mcs-2011-nitro.pdf

  • 55. Reasons for the decline in use of AA Concerns about human safety Concerns about impacts on soil (little research evidence) Rail companies are raising rates and limiting transport of NH3 Weather/soil conditions limit NH3 application window UAN application is faster and more flexible (1-2 thousand acre/day for UAN vs. a few hundred acres for NH3) UAN can be applied with other crop inputs
  • 56. What do farmers think about anhydrous? Anyone know this guy?
  • 57. Tom Oswald wrote: It is our preferred source of N for a number of reasons. My Dad remembers going to ammonia meetings back in the late 1950's-1960's and the optimums discussed at those meetings are still the same though we stretch into fall application as part of strip till and earlier corn planting than in years past. 1- N is at depth. In the sometimes dry western corn belt, this is a good thing. In 2007, my sidedress liquid N plots were 20 bu/ac less than fall+ planter 20#. Rain stopped right after sidedressing. and the corn suffered. 2- N is banded..... a good thing.... concentrated in less soil volume. Unlike sprayed on 28% or broadcast urea which is a horizontal band. 3- Concentrated form of N, less gallons handled. 4- Some suggest ammonium form better for corn. (Charles Tai, Purdue, 1980's I think) 5 "Here" pipelines and tankers handle most of it. 6- Have my own toolbars and controllers (can be used for both liquid or ammonia, strip or sidedress). 7- Manly way to farm (big tractors, lots of iron, dangerous) 8- Believe that compaction (runway construction etc) is mostly a myth. Tillage is harder on the soil than ammonia. 9- liming behind ammonia not that much worse. Ammonium sulfate is worse I believe. Talk to a soil chemist.
  • 58. Cons: 1- Manly way to farm (big tractors, lots of iron, dangerous) 2- Theft 3- Environmentalists target ammonia tanks in their advertising 4- requires soil incorporation (tillage via knife) 5- control equipment is expensive 6- gassing can burn emerged crop if done improperly In summary, we (Dad and I) like AA and hope to keep using it as the primary N source on our farm. I think the benefits outweigh the negatives and believe that our yields would be somewhat lower (on average over the years) and our costs would be higher if we had to switch to urea or liquids. We hope that the regulators and nitrogen production companies don't take it away. Tom ----- Thomas E. Oswald Oswald Family Farm Cleghorn Iowa
  • 61. Maximum soil temps under bare soils at 4” http://www.isws.illinois.edu/warm/ DOof I anhydrous U NOT APPLY application guidelines are basedYOUR WHEN on daily maximumIS RED! AREA temp at 4” Fall N application south of IL HWY 16 is never recommended by the U of I
  • 62. “If the industry is to continue the practice of fall N application, we must police ourselves or risk being regulated by federal government agencies and lose the ability to apply fall nitrogen.”
  • 63. Being smart about the timing of anhydrous application can pay large dividends! Wait until soil temperatures at the 4-inch depth are below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The rate of nitrification is significantly reduced when soil temperature is below 50 degrees F, but microbial activity continues until temperatures are below freezing. In order to minimize risk, don’t apply nitrogen before the third week of October in central Illinois, or the second week in northern Illinois, even if air temperatures are getting cooler. In addition, do not use nitrogen or nitrogen with a nitrification inhibitor if you live south of Illinois Route 16 or if soils are prone to leaching.
  • 64. Nitrification inhibitors are not 100% effective and are only cost-effective in some situations Sample Date Dec. 8 Apr. 2 May 3 Application N-serve % NH4-N Remaining No 39 19 3 Nov. 7 (>50°F) Yes 63 28 17 No 40 33 7 Nov. 18 (<50°F) Yes 67 58 26 http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/icm/2001/10-22-2001/why50.html
  • 65. It is normally more efficient to apply N in the spring even if a nitrification inhibitor is used Spring w/o N serve Fall with N serve Fall without N serve
  • 66. Impact of pH and N-serve on % nitrification Inhibitor = N-Serve w/o N serve w/ N serve % Nitrification High ph inhibits nitrification as Low ph can override N-serve much or more than N-serve Soil pH http://soil.scijournals.org/cgi/content/full/68/2/545/FIG4
  • 67. Soil pH should be considered an important factor affecting the risks and benefits associated with fall applications of anhydrous ammonia under climatic conditions found in the Corn Belt. Relatively rapid nitrification in higher-pH soils increases the potential for early season losses of fertilizer N by leaching and denitrification of NO–3 before plants begin rapid growth and uptake of N. N-Serve is probably a waste of money on low pH soils!
  • 68. So what do you think of the rule of thumb – 10 lbs of NH3-N per unit of CEC? This may be one of the worst and misguided soil fertility concepts that I have heard (OK, ranks up there). I am not going to do the CEC math, but I think Joel has a decimal point or unit charge off somewhere. What is missing from his explanation is the fact that ammonia interacts with the soil organic matter and soil clays (beyond negative charges). Soil moisture helps retain and limit ammonia movement at injection time, but it is all of the soil properties that result in a small retention zone. Take a look at Joe Touchton's publications (and go way back in time to McIntosh and Frederick -- 1950's) and you will see the small size of an ammonia retention zone, even in "low" organic matter and "low" CEC soils. So, it is much more than CEC alone that influences ammonia retention.
  • 69. What rate is this in lbs/ac? 8.4 g N/m in Kahola siltloam Izaurralde et al. (1987)
  • 71. If uniformly distributed in a 2 million lb/ac plow layer, 1000 ppm N = 2000 lbs of N/ac Soils can clearly retain a lot more N than 10 lbs * CEC!
  • 72. In the retention zone, 33% of the CEC is saturated with NH4+
  • 73. Many anhydrous ammonia applicators give uneven applications, particularly applicators with older manifolds. Manifold outlets across from the intake usually put out higher rates than outlets near the intake. When an older manifold is used, the most important management practice is to randomize the hoses. This means that a row getting a low rate is more likely to be next to a row getting a high rate, which will minimize yield loss.
  • 76. How Equaply® Works Accurate control of mixed gas and liquid phases is difficult to achieve. Conventional application systems do an excellent job of applying consistent amounts of anhydrous ammonia over a field. But they don't provide equal flow to each injector knife. Heat exchangers cool the ammonia below its boiling point before entering a flow meter and control valve. With only liquid present, the valve can exert near perfect control. However, when the anhydrous goes through the control valve it loses pressure and boils, creating a mixture of liquid and gas. This mixture is difficult to be split evenly in a manifold. So distribution among the knives is random and variable. http://www.anh3.com/about%20anh3.html
  • 82. Shallow placement of anhydrous Traditional thinking is that anhydrous ammonia must be placed 8 in. deep in the soil. The 2510H High Speed Applicator places anhydrous at 4.5-in. depth, which is quite a difference from traditional thinking. John Deere has tested this placement across the Corn Belt in real-world field applications and plot-size treatments. More than 10,000 acres of spring pre- plant anhydrous ammonia application yielded no reports of seedling damage. To further evaluate shallow placement, plot-scale studies were initiated with three university cooperators that put the concept to the test by planting right over the anhydrous application track seven days after application. To avoid seedling damage with the 2510H, the same recommendations apply as when using a conventional shank applicator: * Allow a window of opportunity * Apply to the rows at an angle * Soil moisture conditions http://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/en_NA/primary_tillage/2010/feature/nutrient_applicator/2510h_shallow_placement.html
  • 83. Retention at a shallow depth What about retention at a shallow depth? John Deere has gone to great lengths to verify the anhydrous retention provided by a 2510H is equal to that of a shank. Three methods were used to measure retention. The brick soil sampling method entailed extracting a brick of soil in the injection zone 24 hours after application and send it off to a lab for analysis. A side-by-side comparison of the 2510H with a conventional shank revealed equal retention. The other two methods were the litmus paper test and the chamber technique to collect emissions. All three methods revealed equal retention with a shank applicator. http://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/en_NA/primary_tillage/2010/feature/nutrient_applicator/2510h_shallow_placement.html

  • 91. Does NH3 really have potential as a fuel? • Ammonia (NH3) can be produced from any raw energy source, including all fossil, renewable and nuclear sources. • Ammonia is cost competitive with gasoline as a transportation fuel (need to check on this) • Ammonia has extensive, worldwide transportation and storage infrastructure already in place • Ammonia is very environmentally friendly when used as a transportation fuel and produces only N2 and H20 at the tailpipe with low-cost emissions controls. • Ammonia has been successfully demonstrated in SI engines, CI engines, and fuel cells.
