Abstract
The high ignition temperature and low combustion efficiency of boron (B) powders seriously affect the efficient application of boron-based composite energetic materials. Herein, we prepared high-energy microsphere units containing iron fluoride (FeF3), ammonium perchlorate (AP) and B powders by using a atomization spheroidization method to improve the combustion performance and energy release efficiency of micron-B powder. The results shown that the composition of the package structure and the incorporation of FeF3 can effectively reduce the initial oxidation and ignition temperatures of B powders by about 23.55 % and 33.2 %. Moreover, when FeF3 content is 1 %, spherical B/FeF3@AP composites have excellent reaction calorific value (8705.7J/g) and maximum combustion temperature (1218.9 ℃), with relative increases of 22.6 % and 39.8 %. The linear combustion rate reached 5.4 cm/s, about 157 % higher than the physical mixture B/AP. Finally, the combustion mechanism of B/FeF3@AP was proposed by combining thermogravimetry coupled infrared spectroscopy, spectral analysis of the combustion process and combustion product analysis. This study provides valuable insights for applying boron-based composite energetic materials in the field of energetic materials
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
