Propellants and Pyrotechnics

Demilitarization and Disposal of Explosive Material. An important consequence of international agreements to greatiy reduce the stockpiles of conventional and nuclear munitions is the intensification of a program to develop procedures to destroy, recycle, and/or reclaim explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnic material efficientiy and without significant environmental impact.

The regulation Hsts 137 toxic and reactive substances and a threshold quantity for each. The regulation also appHes to flammable Hquids and gases in quantities of 10,000 lb or more (>4.5 metric tons), except hydrocarbon fuels and Hquids stored in unpressuri2ed, ambient temperature tanks, as weU as to the manufacture of any quantities of explosives (see Exlosives and propellants) and pyrotechnics (qv).

The Explosives Environment. The Army Materiel Command (AMC), which has the primary responsiblity for manufacture and storage of explosives for the Department of Defense, clarified its definition of the type of hazardous location involved with explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics in its most recently revised safety manual (4). When the only consideration for hazardous environment is the presence of explosive material, it recommends that the environment be classified as Class II, Group G, with the appropriate division based on the probability of the hazardous element being present in the environment. It further states that consideration must be given to vapors which might be present or to the presence of metallic dust. [Pg.259]

Primers are used for the ignition of propellants and pyrotechnics. They are categorized as percussion primers, used mainly for the ignition of propellants, and stab primers, used in explosive trains of fuses and electric primers. [Pg.50]

A new area of research and activity in recent years is the development of new explosives based on furazans, furoxans and tetrazines in order to achieve an increase in density, stability, insensitivity and velocity of detonation. As a result, a number of prospective HEMs which are potential ingredients of explosive, propellant and pyrotechnic formulations have been synthesized. [Pg.140]
