Figure A.48 Copper fulminate primary high explosive.

Martin [64] examined the initiating properties of certain fulminates, and found that silver, cadmium and copper fulminates have stronger initiating properties than mercury fulminate. Table 25 and Fig. 45 show the figures obtained by Wohler and Martin [65], expressed as the smallest amounts of the fulminate of different metals necessary to produce detonation of various high explosives.

Summary Copper fulminate is prepared in a similar fashion as the mercury salt by the addition of a hot nitrate acid solution upon ethyl alcohol. In this case, anhydrous copper nitrate is dissolved in nitric acid, the mixture is then heated, and the ethanol dropped in. As the reaction proceeds, the copper fulminate will precipitate. It is then easily filtered-off, washed, and dried. Note Various modifications to this procedure exist. 

CHAPTER 4 THE PREPARATION OF METAL AZIDES, FULMINATES, AND NITRIDES room temperature for 24 hours. Thereafter, slowly heat the mixture to about 80 Celsius with rapid stirring, and then carefully add 120 grams of 95% ethanol while stirring the reaction mixture. After the addition of the alcohol, remove the heat source, and allow the reaction mixture to cool to room temperature. Afterwards, rapidly filter-off the precipitated copper fulminate, wash with several hundred milliliters of cold water, and then dry in a desiccator filled with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Should be stored in a desiccator over sodium sulfate in a refrigerator. 

Primer caps and detonators loaded with fulminate of mercury are less sensitive than the dry bulk material but must be handled with great care. Fires involving these assembUes should be treated the same as for the bulk material. They wiU explode as soon as fire reaches them. Stocks in an assembly or loading room should be kept as smaU as possible. Examples of fukninates commonly used in the explosive industry are mercury fulminate, copper fulminate, and silver fulminate.
