Features of the Initial Stages of Low-Temperature Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate

Abstract

For rigorous substantiation of the APC decomposition mechanism supplementary research on the kinetics of decay product accumulation in the condensed phase is necessary. Hence, in the initial stages of APC decomposition in the temperature range 160-220C the authors studied the composition of the chlorine-containing thermolysis products and also weight losses. Thermolysis was realized at atmospheric pressure under conditions of the equilibrium of the decomposing APC with the decay products in the gaseous phase. By the method of potentiometric titration and spectrophotometry in the ultraviolet range they determined the contents of the chlorine, chloride-ions, sume of oxychloro-anions and perchloric acid.
