Phase stabilization of ammonium nitrate with binary additives consisting of potassium nitrate and complexone salts

Abstract

The paper deals with the search for and optimization of a method for preparing phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate as oxidant for solid propellants with environmentally friendly combustion products. The effect exerted on the energy of the V → IV and IV → III polymorphous transitions of ammonium nitrate by the total content of the binary additive potassium nitrate-disodium tetrahydrogen nitrilotris-(methylenephosphonate), component ratio, and temperature and time of the cocrystallizate treatment was examined.
