Abstract:

It is known that in the course of the thermal decomposition of crystals of ammonium perchlorate at low temperatures occurs the formation and growth of nuclei. For the understanding of the mechanism of decomposition of NH4ClO4 it is necessary to know which stages of process are connected with nucleation, and which are connected to the growth. The authors propose that the nucleation occurs as a result of the course of the primary stage of the dissociation of salt and subsequent secondary reactions, and the growth of the nuclei is caused by the oxidation-reduction reactions of the active oxidizers being regenerated in the course of the process.
