THE EFFECT OF SOME ADDITIVES ON THE THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF AMMONIUM PERCHLORATE (VLIYANIE NEKOTORYKH DOBAVOK NA TERMICHESKOE RAZLOZHENIE PERKHLORATA AMMONIYA)
Abstract
The purpose of the work was to investigate the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) in the presence of oxides, chlorides, carbonates, and oxalates of certain metals. The decomposition was studied gravimetrically, at atmospheric pressure and 214-470C. The following values for activation energies were found: for the orthorhombic form, E = 40 kcal/mole; for the cubic form, E = 36-39 kcal/mole. Compounds of manganese and cobalt promote complete decomposition of AP at T < 240C. Compounds of iron, nickel, and chromium promote complete decomposition of AP at 270-280C. The rate of decomposition of AP is increased by the addition of compounds of copper, manganese, cobalt, as well as zinc oxide; it is retarded by the addition of compounds of iron, bivalent nickel, chromium, and vanadium pentoxide. For the same element, the activity of the compounds added decreases in the following order: Carbonate(oxalate), oxide, chloride.
