Abstract The electrochemical reduction of four organic explosive compounds, 1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7‐tetrazocane (HMX), 1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazinane (RDX), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and 2,4,6‐trinitrophenylmethylnitramine (tetryl), is studied in eight room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). In all RTILs, the peaks were highly complicated, but much better resolved than previous st...

The thermal decomposition of a number of nitramines was studied in dilute solution and in the melt. The nitramines included acyclic mononitramines [dimethylnitramine (DMN), diethylnitramine (DEN), dipropylnitramine (DPN), and diisopropylnitramine (DIPN)], cyclic mononitramines [N-nitro-piperidine (NPIP) and N-nitropyrrolidine (NPyr)], cyclic dinitramines [N-dinitropiperazine (pDNP), 1,3-dinitro...

Cyclic nitramine explosives are synthesized globally mainly as military munitions, and their use has resulted in environmental contamination. Several biodegradation pathways have been proposed, and these are based mainly on end-product characterization because many of the metabolic intennediates are hypothetical and unstable in water. Biodegradation mechanisms for cyclic nitramines include (a) ...

Detonation synthesis of silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles from carbon liberated by negatively oxygen balanced explosives was evaluated in a 23 factorial design to determine the effects three categorical experimental factors: (1) cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine (RDX)/2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) ratio, (2) (Si) additive concentration, and (3) Si particle size. These factors were at low high leve...

ABSTRACT AbstractA Nuclear quadrupole resonance detector has been developed. This detector targets to RDX, a high explosive inside an anti-personnel landmine, buried up to 15 cm deep. This detector works well outside an electromagnetically shielded room. It was also mounted an anti-mine vehicle and remotely controlled mine detection is demonstrated in public.
