METHOD FOR OBTAINING ADN CRYSTALS THROUGH CRYSTALLIZATION IN A VISCOUS MEDIUM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for crystallizing ammonium dinitramide (ADN), through spontaneous nucleation and crystal growth, from a solution containing said ammonium dinitramide (AND) dissolved in a solvent. Said solvent characteristically has a viscosity greater than or equal to 0.25 Pa s (250 cP) when said spontaneous nucleation is implemented. The ADN crystals obtained by said method have a median shape factor of 1 to 1.5 and are perfectly suitable for placement in the composition of energy materials.
