A Molecular Beam Study of the Thermal Dissociation of 1,4-Butane Diammonium Dinitrate
Abstract
The thermal decomposition of BDD has been observed in a TOF- quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer system. The major ion products observed were 30, 41, 43, and 46 amu. All of the data obtained in the present study indicate that, under vacuum, BDD thermally decomposes at temperature in the range of 160- 180 degrees centigrade to provide BDA and nitric acid. The nitric acid partially decomposes to produce nitrogen dioxide. Since all products are volatile, the solid residue after heating is pure BDD.
