Preliminary Experiments on the Gas-Phase Ignition Mechanism of Ammonium Perchlorate
Abstract
The results of the sublimation experiments that were performed and which were intended to be preparatory to the study of the gas-phase ignition mechanisms of Ammonium Perchlorate(A-P) are summarized. These experiments were comprised of the study of the deposition rates from sublimating A-P as function of sublimation temperature, and the comparison of the mass spectra of the sublimating reagent grade A-P with that of already sublimed A-P. The results reinforce the previously reported observations that decomposition competes with sublimation in the temperature range of 100C to 200C. Furthermore, the results also indicate that the sublimed A-P is less stable than the reagent grade A-P.
