Erythritol tetranitrate as a sensitizer in ammonium nitrate based explosives

Künzel M., Němec O., Matyáš R.

Central European Journal of Energetic Materials

2013

Vol. 10, no. 3

351--358

This paper focuses on ammonium nitrate based explosives sensitized with erythritol tetranitrate. Erythritol tetranitrate (ETN) is an ester of nitric acid and erythritol. It is a low melting crystalline solid with explosive properties similar to those of pentaerythritol tetranitrate. Experiments were conducted in order to determine any sensitizing effect this compound might have on three basic types of ammonium nitrate based mixtures – powdered, slurry and emulsion explosives. According to the results obtained, erythritol tetranitrate acts as a sensitizer giving detonator sensitivity to ammonium nitrate based explosives when incorporated therein in quantities from 10 to 20 percent.

Detonability of Ammonium Nitrate and Mixtures on Its Base

Kuzmin V., Kozak G., Mikheev D.

Quantities of improvised explosive devices on a base of industrial explosives that were applied at criminal incidents or were withdrawn from illegal circulation were reduced on average on 9% during last decade. This tendency is explained in particular by toughening of control under circulation of commercial explosive devices. The most commonly used improvised explosives according to returns of The Forensic Science Center of Ministry of Internal Affairs are mixtures on a base of ammonium nitrate with organic fuels and aluminum powder. Quantitative and qualitative compositions of such improvised mixtures can be various. The most essential question for a criminal case investigator is argument that excepted substance is explosive one. In this connection detonability of the mixtures on base fne (particle size was near 20 microns) and granulated ammonium nitrate with some organic fuels and aluminum powder was experimentally investigated. Failure detonation diameters of systems were measured experimentally.

Modeling for Detonation and Energy Release from Peroxides and Non-Ideal Improvised Explosives

Price M. A., Ghee A. H.

Central European Journal of Energetic Materials

2009

Vol. 6, nr 3-4

239-254

This work focuses on the development of models for predicting explosive power and air blast from the detonation of organic peroxides (TATP and HMTD) and non-ideal explosives involving ammonium nitrate, urea nitrate, and chlorates. CHEETAH calculations assuming ideal behaviour are in agreement with literature data for peroxides. However, the detonation behaviour of non-ideal explosives is dependent on charge size and confnement. This behaviour is investigated using thermo-chemical calculations with Kinetic CHEETAH, and reactive fow models with AUTODYN. A simplifed ignition and growth (I&G) model was calibrated using experimental charge diameter vs. VoD data. I&G models are used to predict the front curvature, reaction zone structure, and energy release from the non-ideal explosives. Detonation and air blast predictions for peroxides and unconfned and confned (paper, plastic, steel) non-ideal charges are presented.
