RDX/10 Al/2 NC. It has a d of 1.45g/cc, is cap-sensitive and detonates at 6800m/sec(Ref II) An additional Slurry ingredients list (more specific than the tabulation in Table 4 but showing no compn ranges), taken from Ref 8, is shown in Table 5, This list classifies the various ingredients as oxidizers, fuels, etc... 

Cmmbles are formed by grinding pellets to the desired sizes. Specialty feeds such as flakes can be made by mnning newly manufactured pellets through a press or through use of a double dmm dryer. The latter type of flakes begin as a slurry of feed ingredients and water. When the slurry is pressed between the hot rollers of the double dmm dryer, wafer thin sheets of dry feed are produced that are then broken into small pieces. The different colors observed in some tropical fish foods represent a mixture of flakes, each of which contains one or more different additives that impart color. 

Pollution Prevention. Procedures haven been developed for recovery of composite ammonium perchlorate propellant from rocket motors, and the treatment of scrap and recovered propellant to reclaim ingredients. These include the use of high pressure water jets or compounds such as ammonia, which form fluids under pressure at elevated temperature, to remove the propellant from the motor, extraction of the ammonium perchlorate with solvents such as water or ammonia as a critical fluid, recrystalli2ation of the perchlorate and reuse in composite propellant or in slurry explosives or conversion to perchloric acid (166,167). 

Yeast may be suspended into a slurry and stored under refrigeration for short-time intervals to expedite its transport and metering into mixers. Water is metered into mixers rather than weighed. Minor ingredients may be weighed directly from their containers or they may be suspended in water slurries which are subsequently metered into mixers (1,3—5). 

For conventional wet processing of sheet steel, the porcelain enamel frit is ball-milled using clay, certain electrolytes, and water to form a stable suspension. This clay-supported slurry of small particles is called the sHp and has the consistency of a heavy cream. The ingredients of the mill batch are carefully controlled. The amount and purity of all materials in the mill, including the clay and water, affect the rheological character of the sHp as well as a number of the properties of the fined enamel such as chemical resistance, reflectance, gloss, color, and abrasion resistance. 

A slurry of the starch is cooked in the presence of a heat-stable bacterial endo-a-amylase. The enzyme hydrolyzes the a-l,4-glycosidic bonds in pregelatinized starch, the viscosity of the gel rapidly decreases, and maltodextrins are produced. The process may be terrninated at this point. The solution is purified and dried, and the maltodextrins are utilized as blandtasting functional ingredients in dry soup mixes, infant foods, sauces and gravy mixes, etc. 

Most current expl fills are blends of TNT with other ingredients, and are melt-cast loaded into bombs and warheads. Typically, several thousand pounds of the flaked blend are charged to a stirred melt kettle and heated to just above the melting point of TNT. It forms a mobile slurry when molten, and is poured mto the empty bomb or shell cases, where it solidifies. Additional ingredients such as Al may be added in the melt kettle, depending on the particular formulation being poured and the particular munition product... 

To remove the excipient, the tablet was ground to a powder and a weighed portion treated with a known volume of a mixture of 5% glacial acetic acid in methanol. The slurry was well stirred to ensure all the active ingredients were dissolved and the mixture was filtered. 

The industrial process for which this methodology was developed comprised polymerizing a monomer in the presence of a mixed solvent, the catalyst and other Ingredients. Once the batch polymerization is complete, the product requires removal of the solvents to a specified level. The solvents, an aromatic Cy and aliphatic Cy compounds, are removed by a two-step process schematically shown in Figure 1. As shown, the polymer slurry is initially flashed to a lower pressure (Pj ) in the presence of steam and water. The freely available solvent in the polymer-solvent mixture is removed by the shift in thermodynamic equilibrium. Solvent attached to the surface of the polymer particle is removed by the steam. In this first step, 90% of the total solvents are recovered. The remaining solvents are recovered in the second flash, where the effluent is almost all water with very low concentrations of the solvents. 

More recently isopropyl nitrate has been used in place of TNT for sensitising dense slurries. Although not itself explosive, this liquid gives a sensitivity at least equal to that obtained with TNT, whilst at the same time reducing the proportion of aqueous base and therefore water needed in the composition. Dense slurries have also been made with such ingredients as pentolite and smokeless powder as sensitisers but these have no special advantages and are usually uneconomic.
