About the chemical safety of burning hexogen-containing explosives from artillery shells ‒ a review
Abstract
A brief analysis of the methods of disposal of artillery shells with explosive charges of non-fusible hexogen-containing explosives (HE) of type A-IX-1 and A-IX-2 is carried out. The results of experimental and theoretical studies on the burning of explosive charges from shells with hexogen-containing equipment are presented. It is proposed to burn explosives using fluidized bed technologies to ensure chemical safety. The mechanism of explosive combustion by compact jets of fluid granular material, in particular, sand, using a combustion module based on an apparatus with a boiling (fluidized) fountaining bed is considered.
