Utilization of Nitrocellulose Powder from Expired Military Ammunition as An Aluminium Substitute in Emulsive Blasting Materials
Management of blasting materials, which come from disarmament military ammunition, is in the limelight of many courtiers because of huge amount of the materials and deadline of neutralization (in Europe up to 2014). Conventional method of neutralization of expired ammunition by means of detonation causes emission of toxic gases to the ambient and loss of energy. Various scientific centres carries out research of other method of management of blasting materials from expired ammunition.Crushing blasting materials from disarmament may be purified (e.g. by crystallization) and use in production of new ammunition. The highest content of blasting materials in ammunition is in powders,which cannot be treated in this way because of their structure, thus they have to be utilized in other way.Controlled combustion in installation is one of the possible methods, but expansive one. The paper presents results of research of economic and ecologic method of utilization of nitrocellulose powders. The powders were applied as an aluminium substitute in emulsive blasting material. Results of selected detonation parameters for elaborated mixtures of blasting materials with nitrocellulose powders are presented. The paper also presents analogous results for conventional emulsive blasting materials, which contained aluminium as an energetic factor, for comparison purposes. Utilization of powders as an energetic factor in production of emulsive blasting materials is useful and eligible method of its management.
