Notes:
The decomposition products of emulsion explosives and of other composite explosives containing ammonium nitrate, such as ANFO, were investigated. The compounds were thermolyzed at high temperature and pressure on the microsecond and millisecond time scales by adiabatic gas compression. It was found that the first step in emulsion decomposition is pyrolysis of the oil to form reactive intermediates like Hċ and CH3ċ. These reactive species are oxidized by the decomposition products of ammonium nitrate in a later sequence of reaction steps.
