Robert, did you mean ammonium _nitrate_ not hydrate? ammonium nitrate is a standard fertilizer, but
also is the stuff used by McVay to blow up the federal building in Oklahoma City a few years back,
therefore purchases of large amounts of the stuff is quite suspect! Also farmers use large

Yes. Once the ball valve opens, the vaporized ammonia flashes into
another container where it is condensed for re-use.
It doesn't say anything about pressure, only heat. That's
The best way to reduce pressures in the reboilers and degasser is to use
sulfuric acid.

Perhaps we could develop a urine distillation unit to remove
nitrogen and make our own NH3 with the help of a small scale
electrolyzer. . . The barn litter I use for my garden off gases a
LOT of ammonia when it's fresh.

Cellulose is a carbohydrate too, but separating it from its lignin

Yes, but bigger. I'd never tried the technique with starch wastes.
