Abstract

Abstract

Several typical additives were selected and added to ammonium nitrate (AN), and UN gap test was conducted to study the effects of the added amount and mixing method on the anti-explosion performance of AN. Experimental results obtained indicate improvement of certain anti-explosion performance on AN for potassium chlorate (KCl), sodium chloride (NaCl) and monoammonium phosphate (NH₄H₂PO₄) added. When the added amount of KCl is 20% by mechanical mixing or 15% by solution mixing, that of NaCl is 35% or 15%, and that of NH₄H₂PO₄ is 25% or 30%, AN ceases to propagate detonation. As to the chloride additives, solution mixing can mix AN and additives more evenly, thus obtaining better anti-explosion performance. In addition, as the acidity of NH₄H₂PO₄ added to AN by solution mixing could accelerate thermal decomposition, better anti-explosion performance for that is also achieved by mechanical mixing.
