Aqueous explosive compositions having reversible fluent-nonfluent properties
Abstract
Abstract AQUEOUS EXPOSIVE COMPOSITIONS HAVING A DENSITY OF 1.8 GRAMS/CC. OR GREATER AND HAVING REVERSIBLE FLUENT-NONFLUENT PROPERTIES ARE PROVIDED. THESE AQUEOUS EXPLOSIVE COMPOSITIONS EMPLOY METAL PERCHLORATES, CAPABLE OF FORMING A HYDRATE WITH WATER, AS THE OXIDIZER. FLUENT-NONFLUENT REVERSIBILITY IS ACHIEVED BY PROCESSING THE AQUEOUS COMPOSITIONS AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH A HYDRATE OF THE PERCHLORATE WILL DISSOCIATE RELEASING WATER ENABLING PREPARATION OF A FLUENT EXPLOSIVE SLURRY COMPOSTION. THE FLUENT EXPOSIVE SLURRY COMPOSITION IS THEN COOLED TO A TEMPERATURE AT WHICH A HYDRATE FORMS AND THE PREVIOUSLY RELEASED WATER IS COMBINED WITH THE METAL PERCHLORATE AS A HYDRATE FORMING A NONFLUENT EXPLOSIVE SLURRY COMPOSITION.
