Title:
Development of Methodologies for Evaluating Emissions from Methodologies-Containing Explosives and Propellants
Report Date:
2018-08-01
Abstract:
Experiments were performed to develop methodologies that will allow determination of pollutant emission factors for gases and particles produced by exploding metal-containing energetic materials. Materials studied included M855 ammunition (nitrocellulose [(C6H7(NO2)3O5)n]/nitroglycerin [C3H5N3O9] propellant, copper-jacketed lead projectile) fired using an M4 carbine shoulder-fired weapon, medium-sized (660 g) charges of neat trinitrotoluene (TNT or C7H5N3O6), and medium-sized (660 g total weight) charges of TNT (80% by weight):magnesium (Mg powder, 325 mesh, 4% by weight):boron (B powder, 0.8 micrometer, 16% by weight). Although not included here, the analysis methods described are directly applicable to the study of pyrotechnics.
