Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate in the Presence of Nanosized Ferric Oxide
TLDR
In this paper, the catalytic effect of two different sizes of a-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles synthesized using an electrochemical method was investigated on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) using differential scanning calorimetry as a function of catalyst concentration.Abstract:
The catalytic effect of two different sizes of a-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles synthesised using an electrochemical method was investigated on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) using differential scanning calorimetry as a function of catalyst concentration. The nanosized ferric oxide particles exhibited more of a catalytic effect on the thermal decomposition of AP than commercial Fe 2 O 3 particles. A lowering of the high-temperature decomposition of AP by 59 o C was observed after mixing with 2 Wt per cent of a-Fe 2 O 3 particles with the very fine size of 3.5 nm. The mixture produced a high heat release of 4.574 kJ/ g compared to 0.834 kJ/g of pure AP. The kinetic parameters were evaluated using Kissinger method. The decrease in the activation energy and increase in rate constant confirmed the catalytic activity of these nanoparticles.read more
