Study of the Hydroxylammonium Nitrate - Isopropyl Ammonium Nitrate Reaction.

Joyce J. Kaufman, W. S. Koski

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

When a balanced mixture of hydroxylammonium nitrate (HAN) and isopropyl ammonium nitrate (IPAN) in aqueous solution at appropriate concentrations is ignited in a high pressure bomb the reaction goes to completion to produce H2O, CO2 and N2. Some intermediates of this reaction have been identified and the luminosity that is produced during the reaction has been found to be caused by sodium impurities. Since decomposition of HAN produces the oxidizers that react with the fuel (IPAN) a detailed study was carried out on the thermal decomposition of HAN.
