Safe Deactivation of Energetic Materials and Use of By-products as Epoxy Curing Agents

Abstract

Sandia National Laboratories is developing innovative alternative technology to replace open burn/open detonation (OB/OD) operations for the destruction and disposal of obsolete, excess and off-spec energetic materials. Alternatives to OB/OD are necessary to comply with increasingly stringent regulations. This program is developing an alternative technology to destruct energetic materials using organic amines with minimal discharge of toxic chemicals to the environment and defining the application of the by-products for the manufacture of structural materials.
