CATALYTIC IMPURITY INCIDENTS

As a heavy metal azide, it is considerably endothermic (A// +279.5 kJ/mol, 1.86 kJ/g). While pine silver azide explodes at 340°C [1], the presence of impurities may cause explosion at 270° C. It is also impact-sensitive and explosions are usually violent [2], Its use as a detonator has been proposed. Application of an electric field to crystals of the azide will detonate them, at down to — 100°C [3], and it may be initiated by irradiation with electron pulses of nanosecond duration [4], See other catalytic impurity incidents, irradiation decomposition...
