Ammonpulver

The pelleted explosive ( ammonpulver , containing 10% charcoal) normally ignites at 160-165°C, but presence of rust, or copper oxide or zinc oxide lowers the temperature to 80-120°C.

There have also been interesting and promising attempts to use ammonium nitrate as a component of high explosives. Particularly noteworthy are the experiments in which potassium nitrate in blackpowder is completely or partially replaced by ammonium nitrate to improve brisance. This led to the ammonium nitrate mixtures, Ammonpulver M90 and M96, 15/85 mm. They were employed in Austria for filling shells at the end of the nineteenth century but were not used for long, due to the difficulty of detonating them. 

Propellent powder made from ammonium nitrate is about as powerful as smokeless powder and has long had a limited use for military purposes, particularly in Germany and Austria. The Austrian army used Ammonpulver, among others, during the first World War, and it is possible that the powder is now, or may be at any time, in use. 

Ammonpulver (Austrian). Mixture of AN 85 with charcoal 15%, proposed in 1890 as a proplnt, but it could also be used as a substitute for BkPdr in blasting operations (Refs 1 4). Accdg to Davis (Ref 2), some formulations contained aromatic nitrocompounds. No detailed description is given here because Ammonpulver served primarily as a proplnt.

T. Urbanski advanced the view [14, 15] that free radicals in charcoa) considerably influence the properties of black powder. Tlic concentration of free radicals in charcoal depends very much on the temperature of carbonization in the range 245-650 C (Fig. 86). Ammonpulver — a mixture of S5% NH4 NO3 and 15% charcoal — was prepared from charcoal made at various temperatures of carbonization of cellulose.
