Efficiency of perchlorate consumption in road flares, propellants and explosives.

چکیده
When an explosive detonates or a propellant or flare burns, consumption of the energetic filler should be complete but rarely is, especially in the presence of large amounts of non-combustible materials. Herein we examine three types of perchlorate-containing devices to estimate their potential as sources of contamination in their normal mode of functioning. Road flares, rocket propellants and ammonium nitrate (AN) emulsion explosives are potentially significant anthropogenic sources of perchlorate contamination. This laboratory evaluated perchlorate residue from burning of flares and propellants as well as detonations of ammonium nitrate emulsion explosives. Residual perchlorate in commercial products ranged from 0.094mg perchlorate per gram material (flares) to 0.012mg perchlorate per gram material (AN emulsion explosives). The rocket propellant formulations, prepared in this laboratory, generated 0.014mg of perchlorate residue per gram of material.

Ammonium nitrate (AN) is widely used in fertilizers, civilian explosives and military explosives. Due to crystalline phase transitions and density changes of AN in the ambient conditions, its usage as oxidizer in solid propellants has some limitations as compared to ammonium perchlorate (AP). Several methods have been introduced to overcome these problems. In the present paper, the phase transi...

Composite solid propellants are the major source of chemical energy in space vehicles and missiles. Composite propellants are composed of crystalline oxidizer particles dispersed in polymeric fuel binder. Ammonium perchlorate (AP) is used as the most common oxidizer and hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) as the fuel binder. The ballistics of a composite propellant can be improved by addin...

The oxidant forms the most part of the propellants, and ammonium perchlorate is the most applicable oxidizer in composite solid propellants. Therefore, its thermal decomposition and immunity properties have been a great effect on the propellants properties. The using of polymeric additives is one of the different methods for improving the thermal and immunological properties of ammonium perchlo...

Composite solid propellants were prepared with and without nano-alloys (Ti-Co, Ti-Ni, Ti-Zn), where nano-alloys used as catalyst. These nano-alloys are prepared by hydrazine reduction method. Catalytic properties of these nanomaterials were measured on Ammonium perchorate/hydroxyterminatedpolybutadiene propellant by thermogravimetery analysis and differential thermal analysis. Both experimental...

Commercial interest in perchlorates began in the late 1890s/early 1900s in Europe and the United States as a direct result of the pioneering efforts in rockets and their propulsion systems (Mendiratta et al. 1996). The production of ammonium perchlorate, the largest component of solid rocket propellants, far outpaced that of the other perchlorates listed in Table 4-1. Their commercial manufactu...
