Oxidizers, propellant chlorine trifluoride

The hybrids consist of solid and liquid substances in the same system. The most widely used hybrid concept has a hollow solid fuel grain, much like a solid propellant grain, but with no solid oxidizer present. The fuel grain may contain other. energetic solid substances. The oxidizer is generally a storable liquid propellant such as nitrogen tetroxide or chlorine trifluoride. [Pg.92]

The following equations represent reactions that involve only halogen atoms. Iodine pentafluoride, IF5, is used to add fluorine atoms to other compounds, bromine pentafluoride, BrF5, is an oxidizing agent in liquid rocket propellants, and chlorine trifluoride, CIF3, is used to reprocess nuclear reactor fuels.

FUELS, MISSILE. United States Defense Research reports chat aluminum is resistant to many oxidizers and fuels used as missile propellants. Aluminum alloys are used with chlorine trifluoride, ethylene oxide. fluorine, hydrazine, unsymmetrica dimethyl hydrazine, hydrogen pero.tide, liquid oxygen, nitrogen tetroxide (0.1% or less moisture), fuming nitric acid, n-propyl nitrate, liquid nitrogen, alkyl bor-anes, perchloryl fluoride (anhydrous) and liquid hydrogen.
