The photochemistry of RDX was studied in argon matrices at 10 K and examined by FTIR spectroscopy. The spectra and kinetics of product growth indicate that there are two decomposition pathways: [I]        RDX → 4NO + 2CH2O + N2 + CH2 → 4NO + 2CO + N2 +CH4 + H2 [II]        RDX → N2O + [O3 + N2] or [N2O3] + CO2 + C2H2 +N2 + 2H2 The mechanism II nitrogen products can easily be rationalized for the chair configuration of RDX with axial NO2 groups adjacent (Cs symmetry). When considering the carbon products of II, it may be necessary to postulate intermolecular reactions. Our studies gave no evidence for the symmetric triple fission path, which leads to N2O and CH2O, nor for the NO2 stripping mechanism reported for the gas-phase thermal reactions, which leads to the formation of NO2 and HCN. Rather, our findings were more consistent with the known condensed phase products. The production of CH4, C2H2, N2O3, and O3 are unique to the matrix study. Key words: RDX, photochemistry, argon matrices.

A "snapshot" simulation of the surface reaction zone is captured by a thin film of material heated rapidly to temperatures characteristic of the burning surface by using the T-jump/FTIR spectroscopy. The time-to-exotherm (tx) kinetics method derived from the control voltage trace of the Pt filament can be introduced to resolve the kinetics of an energetic material owing to its high sensitivity to the thermochemical reactions. The kinetic parameters of the two title compounds are determined under different pressures. The results show that Li(NTO)·2H2O and Na(NTO)·H2O (NTO = anion of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one) exhibit weak pressure dependence, their decomposition is dominated by the condensed phase chemistry irrespective of the pressure in the 0.1-1.1 MPa range. The values of Ea determined here are smaller than those given by a traditional non-isothermal differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) method, which might be resembled as the surface of explosion more closely and enabled the pyrolysis surface to be incorporated into models of steady and possibly unsteady combustion. The kinetics can also be successfully used to understand the behavior of the energetic material in practical combustion problems.

AbstractFlash pyrolysis of polyethyleneglycol by T-Jump/FTIR spectroscopy to temperatures of the surface during combustion reveals that volatile products arise from approximately equal amounts of C-O and C-C homolysis. Nine volatile products are discussed. The average number of repeating units in the volatile oligomers is 2.5. A shift in product distribution occurs at 420–480°C resulting from a change in the polymer structure. Below 420°C, di- and mono-ether oligomers and diethyleneglycol dominate. Above 480°C, the mono-ethers and ethyleneglycol dominate. The Arrhenius constants for decomposition reflect this difference: Ea=8.8 kcal mol−1, In (A, s−1) =2.0 at 370–420°C and Ea=19 kcal mol−1, In (A, s−1)=10 at 480–550°C.

Abstract Expressions for the nucleation and growth rates for condensed particles in a heterogeneous reaction of a definite kind have been derived, which allows the kinetics of the formation of the condensed phase in some complex systems to be described. Methods of the classical nucleation theory and an assumption about the reaction development mechanism were used.

Attempts were made to enhance the hydrolysis of Asclepias syriaca (As) seed floss and poplar seed floss (PSF) by cellulase after pre-treatment with ionic liquids. Two ionic liquids, namely 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM]Cl and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroaluminate [EMIM]Cl-AlCl3, were used. In comparison with conventional cellulose pretreatment processes, the ionic liquids were used under a milder condition corresponding to the optimum activity of cellulase. Hydrolysis kinetics of the IL-treated cellulose materials was significantly enhanced. The initial hydrolysis rates for IL-treated cellulose materials were greater than those of non-treated ones. The structural modifications of hydrolyzed cellulose materials were analyzed using FTIR spectroscopy.
