Hixson 0 2000 American Institute of Physics l-56396-923-8/00/$17.00 EFFECT OF DIETHYLENETRIAMINE AND TRIETHYLAMINE SENSITIZATION ON THE CRITICAL DIAMETER OF NITROMETHANE’ J.J. Lee*, J. Jiang?, K.H. Choong’, J.H.S. Lee’ *Graduate Aeronautics Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 9112.5, USA ‘Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, McGill University, Montr&al, Que’bec, Canada, H3A 2K6 In this work, the critical diameter for detonation was measured for Nitromethane (NM) sensitized with two different amines: Diethylenetriamine (DETA) and Triethylamine (TEA). The critical diameter in glass and polyvinylchloride tubes is found to decrease rapidly as the amount of sensitizer is increased, then increase past a critical amount of sensitizer. Thus the critical diameter reaches a minimum at a critical concentration of sensitizer. It was also found that the critical diameter is lower with DETA than with TEA. INTRODUCTION propagation in various tubes and channels, and the critical conditions for propagation in porous media Previous studies have shown that small (3) . concentrations of certain substances can strongly The effect of DETA on the critical diameter of increase the explosive sensitivity nitromethane NM has been reported by Engelke (4), who (NM). Amines are found to be the most effective performed measurements with up to 2.5% DETA by chemical sensitizing agent for NM with mass in NM. Engelke observed a reduction in the ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine (DETA) critical diameter of over 50% in the range of DETA producing the largest increase in the card gap value concentrations used. -
Optimization of Ammonium Sulfamate Nitration for the Preparation of Ammonium Dinitramide
Optimization of Ammonium Sulfamate Nitration for the Preparation... 83 Central European Journal of Energetic Materials, 2014, 11(1), 83-97 ISSN 1733-7178 Optimization of Ammonium Sulfamate Nitration for the Preparation of Ammonium Dinitramide Alok Kumar MANDAL*1, Ganesh Murlidhar KUNJIR1, Jaivindra SINGH1, Sushma S. ADHAV1, Sunil Kumar SINGH1, Raj Kishore PANDEY1, Bikash BHATTACHARYA1, Mannepalli LAKSHMI KANTAM2 and Karasala Vijaya KUMAR2 1High Energy Materials Research Laboratory, Chemical Engineering and Pilot Plant Division, Sutarwadi, Pune-411021, India 2Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad-500 007, India *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The reaction kinetics for the preparation of ammonium dinitramide (ADN) is described. ADN is the ammonium salt of the dinitramide anion, and belongs to the group of inorganic oxidizers, mainly useful for energetic rocket propellant formulations, particularly for underwater applications. It is also a potential candidate to replace ammonium perchlorate (AP), in order to develop chlorine-free, green propellants. At HEMRL, ADN is prepared by the nitration of ammonium sulfamate (AS) using mixed acid, followed by hydrolysis, neutralization with ammonia (g) and rectification using solvent. The nitration of ammonium sulfamate (AS) is carried out at a subzero temperature of -40 ±1 °C. The yield of ADN is reliant on the formation of dinitramidic acid, an intermediate product formed during the hydrolysis step, and its stability is predominantly dependent upon the level of acidity and temperature of the reaction medium. Prior to these kinetics studies, process optimization of the nitration of ammonium sulfamate (AS) was performed and gave the final mole ratio of AS:HNO3:H2SO4. Since the nitration of AS is sensitive to temperature, the rate of reaction was studied at fixed temperatures with variation of time, keeping all of the other parameters, such as vessel volume, agitator speed, feed rate etc., constant. -

Stabilization of the New Oxidizer Ammonium Dinitramide (ADN) in Solid Phase
NATO UNCLASSIFIED Stabilization of the New Oxidizer Ammonium Dinitramide (ADN) in Solid Phase Dr. Manfred Bohn Fraunhofer-Institut für Chemische Technologie (ICT) Postfach 1240 D-76318 Pfinztal-Berghausen GERMANY e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) is one of the substances, which are seen to be able to replace ammonium perchlorate (AP) as oxidizer in rocket propellants. Some of the performance data in comparison to AP substantiate this suggestion (values for AP in brackets). It has a good oxygen balance of +25.8% (+34%), a more positive enthalpy of formation, -1208 J/g (-2518 J/g) and a higher heat of explosion as AP, 3337 J/g (1972 J/g). An additional advantage is that the reaction products of ADN are free of signature. One drawback of ADN clearly is the much lower thermal stability than that of AP, together with the relatively low melting point between 92 and 94°C. But the lower stability must not exclude its application in some types of rocket systems. The intrinsic stability of ADN is not much lower than that of unstabilized nitrocellulose. If it would be possible to find stabilizers, ADN can be considered as a substitute candidate for AP. An extensive investigation was made with eight substances to find out their stabilization effect on ADN. The ADN samples were mixed intensively with an amount of 2 mol-% each of these chemicals. The experimental methods used to determine the stabilization effect have been mass loss as function of time and temperature, 65°C, 70°C, 75°C, 80°C, and adiabatic self heating. -
Exposure Data
BERYLLIUM AND BERYLLIUM eOMPOUNDS Beryllium and beryllium compounds were considered by previous Working Groups, In 1971,1979 and 1987 (lARe, 1972, 1980, 1987a). New data have since become available, and these are included in the present monograph and have been taken into consideration In the evaluation. The agents considered herein Include (a) metallic beryllium, (b) beryllium- aluminium and -copper alloys and (c) some beryllum compounds. 1. Exposure Data 1.1 Chemical and physical data and analysis 1.1.1 Synonyms, trade names and molecular formulae Synonyms, trade names and molecular formulae for beryllium, beryllum-aluminium and -copper alloys and certain beryllium compounds are presented in Thble 1. The list is not exhaustive, nor does it comprise necessarily the most commercially important beryllum- containing substances; rather, it indicates the range of beryllum compounds available. 1. 1.2 Chemical and physical properties of the pure substances Selected chemical and physical properties of beryllium, beryllum-aluminium and -copper alloys and the beryllium compounds covered in this monograph are presented in Thble 2. The French chemist Vauquelin discovered beryllium in 1798 as the oxide, while analysing emerald to prove an analogous composition (Newland, 1984). The metallc element was first isolated in independent experiments by Wöhler (1828) and Bussy (1828), who called it 'glucinium' owing to the sweet taste of its salts; that name is stil used in the French chemical literature. Wöhler's name 'beryllum' was offcially recognized by IUPAe in 1957 (WHO, 1990). The atomic weight and corn mon valence of beryllum were originally the subject of much controversy but were correctly predicted by Mendeleev to be 9 and + 2, respectively (Everest, 1973). -
The Reactions of Ozone with Methyl and Ethyl Nitrites
The Reactions of Ozone with Methyl and Ethyl Nitrites D. R. HASTIE, C. G. FREEMAN, M. J. McEWAN, and H. 1. SCHIFF* Department of Chemistry, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand Abstract The reactions of 0 3 with CH30NO and C2H 50NO were studied using infrared absorp tion spectroscopy in a static reactor at temperatures between 298 and 352K. Both reactions followed simple second-order kinetics forming the corresponding nitrate: (I) CHaONO + Oa ~ CH30N02 + O 2 (2) C2H 50NO + 0 3 ~ C2H 50N02 + O 2 The rate coefficients are given by 3 loglo k1(cm jmolec.sec) = (- 12.1 7 ± 0.23) - e3;.~0~ ~72) 3 loglo k2(cm jmolec·sec) = (- 15.50 ± 0.16) - C3:~0~ ~16) Introduction The methoxy radical CHsO is produced in the atmosphere as an intermediate in the photochemical qxidation of hydrocarbons and from the photolysis and oxidation of methane (1-3]. In the presence of nitrogen oxides NO", CHaO may be converted into the corresponding nitrite and nitrate, CHsONO and CHaON02 [3-5]. In spite of the potential atmospheric importance of methyl nitrite, few quantitative studies of its chemistry have been published although the photolysis [3], pyrolysis [6], and bond dissociation (7] processes have been investigated. We report here measurements of the rate coefficients k1 and k 2 for the reactions of methyl and ethyl nitrites with ozone at several temperatures in the range of 298-352K. (I) CH30NO + Oa ~ CHaON02 + O 2 + 19B kJ (2) C 2H.ONO + Oa ~ C 2H.ON02 + O 2 + 195 kJ * Erskine Visiting Professor. Permanent address: York University, Downsview, Ontario, Canada. -
