Definitions

  • the method relates to a method of producing particles, prills, of ADN. More specifically, the invention concerns a method of producing in liquid phase ADN prills, in particular small prills, and a polymodal mixture containing such small ADN prills.
  • Ammonium dinitramide is an energetic oxidiser which can be used in many applications.
  • One application is that as oxidiser in rocket propellants, which is disclosed in e.g. US 5,498,303.
  • Advantages of using ADN in composite propellants instead of ammonium nitrate are described in, for instance, US 5,498,303 and WO 97/06099.
  • ADN When producing ADN, the product is obtained in the form of crystal aggregates which are not very suited to be directly mixed with a polymer system for producing a composite propellant. It is therefore desirable to produce prills of ADN. Prills allow a simpler handling system and result in a better rheology in mixing with polymer systems. Provided that suitable particle sizes can be produced, prills also enable easy production of polymodal mixtures.
  • a polymodal mixture consists of a plurality of different particle sizes which are so related to each other as to achieve a high packing density.
  • prills in liquid phase are previously known.
  • the substance is molten and dispersed to droplets in a liquid phase which is inert in relation to the substance.
  • the liquid phase is cooled to solidify the droplets into prills, and these are separated from the liquid phase.
  • Such a method for prilling of ADN is mentioned in Challenges in Propellants and Combustion - 100 Years after Nobel (Conference Proceedings, 1996, pp 627-635); May Lee Chan et al: ADN Propellant Technology.
  • a problem is that the particles must be washed clean with an organic solvent before they can be used in the production of propellants.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved method of producing ADN prills in liquid phase.
  • a prilling method which allows production of small
  • ADN prills has been accomplished.
  • ADN prills with a diameter of less than 40 ⁇ m can be produced, which in turn allows the production of suitable polymodal mixtures for ADN-based propellants and explosives.
  • the inventive method comprises melting and dispersion of ADN in a nonpolar medium to obtain droplets of ADN in the medium; cooling of the medium for solidifying the droplets into prills and separation of said prills from the medium.
  • the invention is characterised by supplying ultrasonic energy to the medium during said dispersion.
  • the prilling can be carried out in a batch reactor and the ultrasonic energy can be supplied by means of an ultrasonic transducer immersed in the medium in the reactor.
  • the dispersion can be carried out by means of ultrasonic waves only, or ultra- sonic waves in combination with mechanical stirring.
  • the mixture of molten ADN in the nonpolar medium can be passed through a flow mixer to which ultrasonic energy is supplied.
  • a small amount of surfactant can advantageously be added to the nonpolar medium.
  • the surfactant makes the prills have a smooth and nice surface.
  • the added amount is normally smaller than 5% by weight based on the nonpolar medium.
  • Suitable surfactants are, for instance, laurylium sulphate, stearyl alcohol, sodium stearate, octylamine and dodecylamine.
  • the nonpolar medium consists essentially of a plasticiser, in which case a plasticiser which is normally used in polymer systems in the production of composite propellants and plastic-bonded explosives is selected.
  • Suitable plasticisers are DOS, DOA, vacuum oil, transformer oil, K-10, BTTN, M/E- NENA, TMETN, Me-NENA, Et-NENA, WM3, FEFO, BDNPF/A, DANPE, DINA, and GAPA. K-10 up to and including GAPA are all energetic plasticisers.
  • the nonpolar medium may contain a polymer for adjust- ing the viscosity of the medium.
  • the polymer can be, for instance, HTPB or some other polymer that is used in composite propellants or plastic-bonded explosives.
  • a suitable viscosity of the nonpolar medium is 10-250 mPas.
  • the supply of ultrasonic waves gives an intense dispersion of molten ADN in the medium, and very small prills with a diameter of less than 40 ⁇ m can be produced. This enables in turn the production of suitable polymodal mixtures for dense ADN- based propellants and explosives.
  • a suitable bimodal mixture of ADN prills may comprise, for instance, a first size fraction having a particle size greater than 80 ⁇ m, and a second size fraction having a particle size of less than 40 ⁇ m.
  • the ratio of the particle size in the first size fraction to the particle size in the second size fraction can be, for instance, about 5:1.
  • the weight ratio of the first to the second size fraction is suitably about 5:1.
  • the supply of ultrasonic energy can be combined with a low pressure/vacuum in the reactor when great demands are placed on the homogeneity of the prills.
  • the supply of ultrasonic waves also contributes to aerating the medium. For many applications, an acceptable homogeneity is therefore achieved by using the ultrasonic process without at the same time a low pressure being applied.
  • Prilling was carried out in a 1 -litre stainless steel batch reactor consisting of a cylindrical container with a tight cover.
  • the container was provided with a magnetic agitator and enclosed by a jacket to be passed by a heating medium and a cooling medium, respectively.
  • An ultrasonic transducer was arranged through the cover and immersed in the medium in the reactor.
  • the reactor was charged with 5 g of ADN, 700 ml of plasticiser (DOS, dioctyl sebacate) as a nonpolar medium and 200 mg of surfactant (laurylium sulphate).
  • DOS dioctyl sebacate
  • surfactant laaurylium sulphate
  • the mixture was heated to 96°C and kept at this temperature for 5 min during stirring by means of the magnetic agitator.
  • the ultrasonic transducer was operated at its maximum for 3 min and was then shut off and the mixture was quickly cooled to 20°C.
  • the resulting prills were filtered off from the plasticiser. Prills having a particle size of less than 40 ⁇ m were produced.
  • prills with a larger particle size could be prepared by lowering the intensity of the ultrasonic treatment.

Abstract

L'invention a trait à un procédé de production de granules de dinitramide d'ammonium. Le procédé comporte les étapes consistant à fondre et disperser le dinitramide d'ammonium dans un milieu non polaire pour obtenir des gouttelettes de dinitramide d'ammonium dispersées dans le milieu; refroidir le milieu afin de solidifier les gouttelettes en granules, et séparer lesdits granules du milieu. L'invention est caractérisée par un apport d'énergie ultrasonore au milieu au cours de la dispersion. L'invention concerne également un mélange polymodal de granules de dinitramide d'ammonium qui comprend des granules aux dimensions inférieures à 40 mu m produits selon le procédé.
