A STUDY OF THE DECOMPOSITION MECHANISM OF AMMONIUM PERCHLORATE

Abstract

Data are recorded for the differential thermal analysis (DTA) of samples of mole parts of ammonium perchlorate mixed with mole parts of metal perchlorates in either 95/5 or 99/1 ratio. The runs were made to determine the influence of the additive on the DTA exo- and endotherms recorded for the decomposition of the ammonium perchlorate as it is heated at various rates over a given temperature range. The perchlorates used for doping the ammonium perchlorate were those of copper, lead, potassium, cadmium, zinc, manganese, silver, barium, magnesium, sodium, and iron.
