An investigation of single-base propellants has been conducted. The ageing process during extended storage of single-base propellants (SBP) in nonheated military stores and a heated building has been investigated by elemental analysis. Two or three different absorbencies around the band at 1650 cm-1 were observed by FTIR spectroscopy. In this way, not only the denitration of the propellants was determined, but also cleavage of -O-C- bonds between the glycoside rings in the nitrocellulose macromolecules. The latter process was confirmed by the swelling of the SBP.

An investigation of TD-50 and tetryl samples obtained by dismantling of weapons, made in 1961 in Bulgaria, was carried out. The weapons were stored in non-heated military stores and the explosives were aged in this time (50 years). The results from UV-VIS and FTIR spectroscopy showed the formation of H-bonds in the solutions and in the investigated materials. The most available properties for determination of H-bond formation from UV-VIS spectra were: the shift, (Δ λ); ratio shift/dilution, (Δ λ /C1/Cn, nm, and Δ λ/Δ C, nm.ml/mg) in acetone solutions and only the shift, (Δ λ) in toluene solutions. The results from FTIR spectroscopy showed that the most available for determination of H-bond formation were: absorbances of some maxima for -NO2 groups, divided from maxima for -CH2 at 917 and 715 cm-1 like internal standards and some values of Δh*1/2.

Samples of long-term aged TD-50 and tetryl were investigated by UV-VIS and FTIR spectroscopy and bands of products of ageing were obtained. A complicated maximum of nitro groups at 1537 cm-1 in the FTIR spectra of long-term aged explosives was obtained, like in the IR spectra of long-term aged single-based propellants. Ageing process was confirmed by the presence of several maxima in UV-VIS and FTIR spectra of aged products and determination of several characteristics of the investigated explosives (shifts Δ ν, differences in absorbances ΔA, differences in values of Δh*1/2). Ageing was connected with decrease of H-bond formation on the base of decrease of content of oxygen and nitro groups in TD-50 and tetryl.

Technology for utilization of waste single and double based propellants by obtaining porous propellants was worked out. The technology contains the preparation of solutions of waste propellants with concentration up to 20%, mixing with additives, forming a liquid layer with determined thickness, evaporation of some amount of the solvent, leaching liquid components with water and draying the porous propellants. The time for evaporation of some amount of the solvent was determined from the results of the rates of evaporation. The investigated additives were 1-butanol, ethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol 400. The porous propellants with specific density from 0.5 to 0.7 g/cm3 and regular distribution of voids of dimensions from 0.1 to 500 žm were obtained.
