This study presents the results of the synthesis of silver chloride nanoparticles dispersed within ammonium nitrate matrix via displacement mechanochemical reaction NH_{4}Cl + AgNO_{3} + zNH_{4}NO_{3} = (z+1)NH_{4}NO_{3} + AgCl at z = z_{1}= 7.22 and z = z_{2}= 3.64. The intermediate compound, NH_{4}Ag(NO_{3})_{2}, was identified after mechanochemical processing of studied system. Use of simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry provide a new means for preparing silver chloride nanoparticles in their free form by thermal treatment.
