Abstract
Abstract Thermolysis of ammonium perchlorate (AP) in presence of additives such as CaCO3 and CaO has been investigated by Ignition delay, DTA, and photomicrography techniques. The ignition delay, ignition temperature, and decomposition temperature and activation energy are found to decrease when CaO was incorporated in AP. However, CaCO3 affected the ignition of AP at higher temperatures (622-770°K) but very little effect was observed at lower temperatures (<623°K). Thermolysis of AP seems to proceed through condensed phase reactions in presence of CaO and CaCO3 and role of these additives in the deflagration and decomposition of AP has also been discussed.
