Energetics Solids Degradation in High Temperature Water

Abstract

Strategies have been developed to determine the kinetics and mechanisms of degradation of energetic molecules in water up to 500 deg C. FTIR and FT-Raman spectroscopy enable in situ studies to be made and provide a wide spectral window in which many species can be followed simultaneously. Numerous spectroscopic and cell design hurdles have been encountered and surmounted so far. Cell designs and a process flow system that should provide clean kinetic studies are nearly completed at this time.
