Comprehensive study on impact of hydrogen peroxide decomposition on the crucial parameters of OSM-type energetic materials

Abstract The use of increasingly advanced energetic materials (EMs) in various branches of industry and military sectors increases the appropriate requirements for EMs, including: their durability, safety of use, chemical and high-energetic properties. Additionally, the impact of the products of the...

description Abstract The use of increasingly advanced energetic materials (EMs) in various branches of industry and military sectors increases the appropriate requirements for EMs, including: their durability, safety of use, chemical and high-energetic properties. Additionally, the impact of the products of the explosion of EMs on the natural environment is also crucial. Therefore, on-site mixture (OSM) energetic materials containing concentrated hydrogen peroxide (OSM-type energetic materials) are becoming increasingly popular. This is an extremely interesting group of materials that contains in excess of 50 wt.% hydrogen peroxide (HP) and not containing toxic compounds, and therefore is environmentally friendly. The main objective of the study was to investigate the various compositions of OSM-type energetic materials in terms of the evolution over time of their energetic properties (including the “raw” energetic material strength and the ability to sustain the propagation of a detonation wave) and the volume of the post-detonation gases. The obtained results show that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide strongly affects the detonation parameters of OSM-type energetic material and the decomposition time of HP. In addition, it has been proven that rate of decomposition of HP significantly affects the detonation parameters of OSM-type energetic materials. It was also found that the concentration of NO $$_{\hbox {x}}$$ x is low and decreases dramatically with the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, but at the same time the concentration of carbon oxides increases.
