Aqueous explosive compositions having reversible fluent nonfluent properties
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5898223
Aqueous exposive compositions having a density of 1.8 grams/cc or greater and having reversible fluent- nonfluent properties are provided. These aqueous explosive compositions employ metal perchlorates, capable of forming a hydrate with water, as the oxidizer. Fluent-nonfluent reversibility is achieved by processing the aqueous compositions at temperatures above a temperature at which a hydrate of the perchlorate will dissociate releasing water enabling preparation of a fluent explosive slurry composition. The fluent explosive slurry composition is then cooled to a temperature at which a hydrate forms and the previously released water is combined with the metal perchlorate as a hydrate forming a nonfluent explosive slurry composition.
