Mercuric fulminate

FLUORINECOMPOUNDS,ORGANIC - INTRODUCTION] (Volll) Mercuric fulminate [20820-45-5]... [Pg.605]

In explosives, calcium oxide has been used for many years according to Daniel (Ref 1) in devices such as the Igniter of Jarotimek. This is a device used in blasting operations, and consists of a double cartridge containing compressed CaO in one end and a flammable mixt (usually a mixt of 50% KC103 and 50% mercuric fulminate) in the other end. The flammable end is... [Pg.443]

It is significant, however, that in most, and probably all, relative rankings of the impact sensitivities of solid expls (see Vol 7, I42-R), PETN ranks as the most sensitive secondary expl (primary expls, such as Lead Azides, Mercuric Fulminate, etc, are more sensitive)... [Pg.579]

Silver fulminate is dimeric and rather endothermic (A+361.5 kJ/dimol, 1.21 kJ/g). It is readily formed from silver or its salts, nitric acid and ethanol, and is a much more sensitive and powerful detonator than mercuric fulminate [1], The properties and applications have been reviewed [2],... [Pg.128]

This serious accident made him very cautious. When one of his students, Heinrich Debus, once wished to use some mercuric fulminate in a research, Bunsen objected and said (6),... [Pg.625]

When I came to Marburg, I found in the collection of preparations a glass-stoppered botde containing an ounce or more of mercuric fulminate. I took the flask and carried it to a nearby deep stone-quarry, and threw it in. [Pg.625]

Konovalov of Russia prepd some expls by laboratory nitration of aliphatic derivs of petroleum, using weak nitric acid under pressure, but the yields were poor (Ref 12, p 29) 1900. Accdg to Gorst (Ref 71, p 15) it was proposed in Russia to replace MF (Mercuric Fulminate) detonators with those in which 3/4 of MF was replaced by Tetryl or Trotil (TNT)... [Pg.149]

Accdg to Gorst (Ref 71, pp 15—16, it was proposed in Russia to use LA (Lead Azide) in lieu of MF (Mercuric Fulminate) in compound detonators with Tetryl and later with Ten (PETN). Much work on improvement of LA detonators was done by Col A.A. Solonina. [Pg.150]

Lead Azide, Mercuric Fulminate with or without Potassium Chlorate, Lead Styphnate, Cyanuric Triazide, Tetracene and Diazodinitrophenol The following substances are also good initiating agents but have not found much use ... [Pg.369]

Silver Azide, Cadmium Azide, Cupric Azide, Triazidotrinitrobenzene, Chloratotrimercuraldehyde, Nitrogen Suifide Hexamethylenetriperoxidediamine Until WWI, Mercuric Fulminate was the principle initiating agent used, but Lead Azide has now replaced it. Lead azide is not the most powerful azide, but is more stable and less dangerous to handle than some of the other ones. Cadmium Azide, for example, is more powerful than Lead Azide but is unsuitable as an initiating agent because it is difficult to prepare and is soluble in water... [Pg.369]

Initiation by Primers (and Boosters) is the standard method of initiating secondary explosives. Thus hot wires (or other means) are used to initiate the primer charge (Lead Azide, Mercuric Fulminate etc) explosive whose detonation then initiates the main charge of PETN,... [Pg.372]

Schrankler (Ref 2) claim that Mercuric Fulminate, Azides even TNT were initiated by the action of H, Ar Hg ions. This was not substantiated (Ref 3). Nitrogen Iodide is definitely initiated by a-particles (Refs 1 ... [Pg.396]

The Japanese Initiating Agents were similar to those used by the Germans, except that Tetracene was not used and fewer mixts were employed in ammunition. MF (Mercuric Fulminate) was used in many primary mixts, while LA (Lead Azide) was used in fewer mixts. It does not appear that LSt (Lead Styphnate) was used in compns contg nonexpl ingredients. As a base ingredient of detonators, PETN was mainly used and to a lesser extent, Tetryl... [Pg.452]

As a rule explosives were listed and described under their parent compounds arranged in alphabetical order, as for example 2,4,6-Trinitroaniline or Picramide is described under ANILINE in Vol I of Encycl. Most of the metallic salts are described under the names of their anions as, for example, Lead Azide (LA) is described under AZIDES, Mercuric Fulminate (MF), under FULMINATES, whereas some salts are described under the names of their cations- as for example Ammonium Nitrate (AN) is described under AMMONIUM in Vol 1... [Pg.327]
