Los explosivos secundarios recién fabricados rara vez detonan bajo circunstancias ordinarias salvo cuando un tren explosivo adecuado es usado; pero materiales degradados por envejecimiento o condiciones de almacenamiento inadecuadas poseen un riesgo incremental de iniciación involuntaria. El documento de la referencia estudia medios viables para la recuperación de TNT y RDX provenientes de Composición B, comprobándose que la pureza y otras características como punto de fusión, temperaturas de descomposición de las versiones recuperadas son casi comparables con original TNT y RDX.
Energetic materials find widespread application for military as well as commercialapplications. They are being used for multiple purposes ranging from war field weapons to the commercial mining and underwater blasting areas.
Explosive materials are casted into military shells by two different methods i.e. melt cast and press cast method [1]. Just like other chemical compositions, energetic materials have specified shelf life after which they become unserviceable (US) for use especially in military operations. Out of various classes of energetic materials, nitramines are ranked at top due to their high energetic properties and thatis why technical application of these energetic materials is always useful [2, 3].
