Application of DSC and DTA Methods for Estimation of Safety Parameters of High Energetic Materials Such as Dinitroamine Ammonium Salt

Abstract

DSC and DTA methods, combined with empirical equations based on kinetic data, allow one to classify a substance as potentially harmful or safe. Utilizing the “100 degree rule” and ADT24 temperature enables one to determine the highest safe temperature at which a technological process can be carried out. High energetic materials can be classified from the safety standpoint by using: Koenen potential, Thermal risk index, Reaction hazard index, Instantaneous Power Density and Explosion Potential. DSC and DTA analysis of dinitroamine salt (ADN) were performed. On the basis of the results usage safety and safe conditions of technological process were estimated. The highest safe temperature of the technological process with using ADN is 351 K. ADN was classified to the group of the unstable compounds, potentially dangerous, able to explode and to the group of the high risk substances. The obtained high values of safety parameters indicate that ADN requires great caution when it is used in operational moulds and in technological processes.
