A method for removing explosives, including metal-powder-containing explosives, which contain at least one meltable component, from ammunition parts by flushing a heating medium in direct contact with the explosive and recovering the explosive mixed with the heating medium. As heating medium, a combustible substance is selected, which is in the liquid state at the process temperature concerned and which has no available oxygen or only alow content thereof. The combustible substance may consist of hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, esters and mixtures thereof. Suitable readily available substances are fuel oil, lubricating oil and meltable wax. The recovered mixture of explosive and heating medium can be processed to a liquid/suspension suitable for combustion, as disclosed in WO 93/17295. |
