ammonium perchlorate and aluminum powder

The invention discloses a method for recovering ammonium perchlorate and aluminum powder from a thermoplastic propellant, wherein the formula of the thermoplastic propellant comprises components such as a thermoplastic adhesive, ammonium perchlorate, aluminum powder and a combustion catalyst, and the method adopts a two-step solvent dissolution and vacuum filtration technology to separate the adhesive and a solid-phase filler in the thermoplastic propellant, so that the AP and Al powder in the thermoplastic propellant can be efficiently recovered. No matter the quantity, care must always be taken to prevent any electrostatic discharge or friction during mixing or handling, as these may cause accidental ignition. Sulfur oxidises and absorbs moisture to produce sulfuric and thionic acids; any acid in the mixture makes it unstable. On ignition, the reaction that takes place is 6NH4ClO4(s) + 10Al(s) --> 5Al2O3(s) + 3N2(g) + 6HCl(g) + 9H2O(g) . Further, a sand core funnel is adopted for filtering in S1, and the aperture of the sand core funnel is 10 +/-2 microns; the vacuum degree during filtration is controlled to be-0.01 MPa to-0.05 MPa. large amounts of aluminum signicantly increased the specic impulse of a castable composite propellant. FIG. If magnesium isn't a very fine powder it can be passivated with linseed oil or potassium dichromate. The burn rate is heavily dependent on mean AP particle size as the AP absorbs heat to decompose into a gas before it can oxidize the fuel components. The recovery process of the polyurethane thermoplastic propellant comprises the following specific steps: (1) mixing a thermoplastic propellant and a mixed solvent of trichloromethane and hexamethylphosphoramide according to a mass ratio of 1: 2, adding the mixture into a container, heating and stirring the mixture for 30min at the temperature of 40 to prepare a propellant solution, wherein the volume ratio of the trichloromethane to the hexamethylphosphoramide is 1.2:1, mixing; (2) pouring the solution obtained in the step (1) into a sand core funnel with the aperture of 10 mu m, vacuumizing and filtering the propellant solution under the vacuum degree of-0.01 MPa, adding a small amount of mixed solvent into the sand core funnel again, filtering and cleaning the solid-phase filler, and repeating the steps for three times, wherein the separated substance in the sand core funnel is a mixture of AP and Al; (3) adding distilled water and acetone into the separated substance of the funnel obtained in the step (2) according to the mass ratio of 1:1 to prepare a mixed solvent, wherein the mass ratio of the solvent to the mixture of AP and Al is 5.0, the vacuum degree is-0.1 MPa, vacuumizing and filtering, adding the mixed solvent of distilled water and acetone again, filtering and cleaning, and repeating the operation for three times. {\displaystyle A_{\text{s}}} APCP's elastic material properties make it less vulnerable to fracture from accidental shock or high-acceleration flights. Some amateur pyrotechnicians choose to mix the composition by shaking in a closed paper container, as this is much quicker and more effective than diapering. The recovery rate of Al powder is 99.8%, and the recovery rate of AP is 98.3%. You basically want to use stoichiometry in this problem. In addition, the burning rate of the f-Al/AP-based CMDB propellant is 5.5% higher. Which species arc oxidizing agents? The overarching legality concerning the implementation of APCP in rocket motors is outlined in NFPA 1125. Calorim. 5. I have found an unverified reference saying that APCP burns 2X hotter than KNSU, which would put it into 1500C range. Further, the thermoplastic propellant is one or more of styrene thermoplastic propellant, polyolefin thermoplastic propellant and polyurethane thermoplastic propellant. These mixtures are especially shock and friction sensitive and in many applications should be considered unpredictable. 1007 0 obj << /Linearized 1 /O 1011 /H [ 1372 1153 ] /L 771488 /E 10529 /N 11 /T 751228 >> endobj xref 1007 37 0000000016 00000 n 0000001095 00000 n 0000001280 00000 n 0000001313 00000 n 0000002525 00000 n 0000002739 00000 n 0000002808 00000 n 0000002925 00000 n 0000003033 00000 n 0000003167 00000 n 0000003233 00000 n 0000003372 00000 n 0000003514 00000 n 0000003672 00000 n 0000003808 00000 n 0000003945 00000 n 0000004082 00000 n 0000004184 00000 n 0000004284 00000 n 0000004386 00000 n 0000004487 00000 n 0000004586 00000 n 0000004684 00000 n 0000004783 00000 n 0000004883 00000 n 0000004983 00000 n 0000005083 00000 n 0000005231 00000 n 0000005337 00000 n 0000005409 00000 n 0000005519 00000 n 0000006867 00000 n 0000006978 00000 n 0000010150 00000 n 0000010262 00000 n 0000001372 00000 n 0000002501 00000 n trailer << /Size 1044 /Info 1003 0 R /Root 1008 0 R /Prev 751216 /ID[<7c828a098c45592c535218860feb97f6><7c828a098c45592c535218860feb97f6>] >> startxref 0 %%EOF 1008 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Pages 1004 0 R /Outlines 1012 0 R /Threads 1009 0 R /Names 1002 0 R /OpenAction [ 1011 0 R /XYZ null null null ] /PageMode /UseOutlines >> endobj 1009 0 obj [ 1010 0 R ] endobj 1010 0 obj << /I << /Title (A)>> /F 1023 0 R >> endobj 1042 0 obj << /S 764 /T 1406 /O 1464 /E 1480 /Filter /FlateDecode /Length 1043 0 R >> stream Erosive burning (high-velocity flow moving past the propellant).

Smaller AP and Al particles lead to higher combustion efficiency but also lead to increased linear burn rate. Lastly, convert the moles of Al to grams by multiplying by the molar mass of Al, which should get you the final answer of 507.1 g Al. Beginners should start with sub-gram quantities, and refrain from making large devices. Flash powder compositions are also used in military pyrotechnics when production of large amount of noise, light, or infrared radiation is required, e.g., missile decoy flares and stun grenades. You'll get a detailed solution from a subject matter expert that helps you learn core concepts. 4. https://doi.org/10.1134/S0010508220060088, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1134/S0010508220060088. This effect is often mitigated by reducing aluminium particle size, inducing turbulence (and therefore a long characteristic path length and residence time), and/or by reducing the aluminium content to ensure a combustion environment with a higher net oxidizing potential, ensuring more complete aluminium combustion. In the event of accidental ignition, debris from a multiple-pound flash powder explosion can be thrown hundreds of feet with sufficient force to kill or injure.

It's also the melting point of the Aluminium that you have to consider, especially since you're not talking about using a resin that could help it get started. (c) Why is the aluminum powdered? Ammonium perchlorate (AP) and ammonium nitrate (AN) are oxidants widely used in composite solid propellants. Ammonium perchlorate (AP) is the most commonly . Compositions using nitrate and magnesium metal have been used as photographic flash powders almost since the invention of photography. HIBEX used what is essentially a precursor to modern APCP (Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant), which is widely used in amateur rocketry and commercially available. The method of claim 1, wherein: the second solvent is one or more of acetone, distilled water, ethanol, petroleum ether and tetrahydrofuran. 115 (2), 12271234 (2014). In this paper, two kinds of flake aluminum powder are prepared by bidirectional rotation mill using the spherical aluminum powder (Al-1) as raw materials. A spark of as little as 0.110 millijoules can set off certain mixtures. (Note: 25 grams of mixture is enough to explode in open air without constraint other than air pressure.). Aluminum powder generally accounts for 50-20% of solid rocket propellant. Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Common APCP formulations call for 30400m AP particles (often spherical), as well as 250m Al particles (often spherical). R. W.Armstrong, B.Baschung, D.W.Booth, et al., Enhanced Propellant Combustion with Nanoparticles," Nano. This mixture is not highly energetic, and in at least some parts of the United States, firecrackers containing 50mg or less of this mixture are legal as consumer fireworks. Rough mass proportions (in high-performance configurations) tend to be about 70/15/15 AP/HTPB/Al, though fairly high performance "low-smoke" can have compositions of roughly 80/18/2 AP/HTPB/Al. It is used in analytical chemistry and as an etching and engraving agent. In the medium- and high-power rocket applications, APCP has largely replaced black powder as a rocket propellant. For RMS, the APCP "grains" (cylinders of propellant) are loaded into the reusable motor casing along with a sequence of insulator disks and o-rings and a (graphite or glass-filled phenolic resin) nozzle. The balanced equation for the reaction is: 3 KClO 4 + 8 Al 4 Al 2 O 3 + 3 KCl Paper/cardboard is chosen over other materials, such as plastic, as a result of its favorable triboelectric properties. Should dilute or concentrated solutions of sodium perchlorate and ammonium chloride be used? Self-confinement occurs when the mass of the pile provides sufficient inertia to allow high pressure to build within it as the mixture reacts. Comparative example 1: the main operation was the same as in example 4 except that only N, N-dimethylformamide was added in the step (1), and the recovery of AP was finally obtained as 82.6%.
