A magnesium nitrate solution (32-40 % w/v) is prepared by suspending a magnesium compound in water, adding 50-60 % w/w nitric acid in such an amount that the final pH is from 5,0 to 6,0, and filtering the product so as to separate magnesium nitrate as clear filtrate. n The very pure product obtained is preferably used for thermal stabilization of ammonium nitrate-containing compositions. |
