RESEARCH OF THE PROCESSES OF DECOMPOSITION AND COMBUSTION OF MIXTURES OF AMMONIUM NITRATE WITH ACTIVE COAL

Abstract

The influence of active carbon of BAU-A grade on ammonium nitrate decomposition process is considered. It is shown that the introduction of even 1% of carbon can significantly reduce the temperature of the beginning of its intensive decomposition. The decomposition process is greatly influenced by the external specific surface area of the active carbon and its content in the mixture. The combustion of mixtures of ammonium nitrate with active carbon and the influence of various factors on the process are considered.
