| 摘要 |
The non toxic bipropellent of the present invention contains a non-toxic hypergolic miscible fuel (hereinafter referred to as "NHMF") and a rocket grade hydrogen peroxide. This NHMF has rapid ignition capability and minimizes the formation of precipitate, even when exposed to extreme heat or water. The NHMF of this invention contains 5 species. Namely, a polar organic species miscible with hydrogen peroxide; a propagator, which may be substituted or unsubstituted amines, amides or diamines; an inorganic metal salt, which reacts to form a catalyst in solution or as a colloid; acetic acid; and alkali acetate. The inorganic metal salt is miscible with the polar organic species and the propagator in solution. The catalyst has a faster rate of reaction with said rocket grade hydrogen peroxide than the propagator, the propagator has a faster rate of reaction with the rocket grade hydrogen peroxide than the polar organic species, and the polar organic species, propagator and catalyst are mutually soluble. The pH is buffered with the addition of acetic acid and alkali acetate. Acetic acid is a relatively innocuous acid that can be added easily without adding any water to the fuel and the alkali acetate yields free acetate ions, which complete the buffer with acetic acid.
