PROCESS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF EXPLOSIVES

摘要

A process for stabilizing energetics, including explosives, propellants, pyrotechnics and obsolete munitions below detonation temperature by reaction with liquid sulfur. Also disclosed is a process for introducing sulfur into explosive packages without dismantling. The package is soaked in carbon disulfide solution and the solution is then evaporated, leaving behind elemental sulfur. After stabilization below the autodentonation temperature, the reaction products are completely destroyed by reaction with sulfur vapor at temperatures above 500 DEG C.
