Some physicochemical problems of extraction of explosives from ammunition

Heat exchange peculiarities, burning heat instability phenomena, and the possible ways of initiation of a charge of explosive at dismantlement of ammunition are considered as the physico chemical ground for elaboration of the dismantlement methods of the higher productivity and safety. Melting of the explosive, contact and non‐contact mechanical technologies, unscrewing, cutting, milling, and turning of the ammunition are studied in outline from the point of view of the considered physicochemical processes importance, and some proposals concerning augmentation of safety and productivity of the dismantlement methods are formulated.
