Research on reaction of the oxidizers and ammonium salts by using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA)

Abstract

The presented investigations were aimed at finding objective magnitudes which could make it possible to determine the levels of separation of the oxidizers and ammonium salts, required for their transporting on ships. The levels for all chemically inconsistent substances are so far determined on the basis of multi-year experience in shipping of the goods. In the investigations the temperature increment rate after initiation of chemical reaction of an oxidizer with ammonium salt, whose value can be determined from the thermogravimetric analysis curve, was proposed with this end in view.
