고체 추진기관의 불량 발생 요인 중 가장 큰 부분을 차지하고 있는 추진제 기공 및 크랙은 추진제의 점도와 물성이 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 혼합형 고체 추진제의 한 종류인 나이트레이트 폴리이서(Nitrate Ester Polyester; NEPE)계열의 추진제에서 주로 사용되는 RDX의 입도 및 혼합 함량에 따른 추진제 점도, 기계적 물성 및 연소특성 변화를 관찰하였다. RDX 입도와 혼합 함량에 따라 미경화 추진제의 경시적 점도가 크게 변화가 되었으며, 이에 따른 추진제 물성 또한 변화가 있었다. 추진제의 낮은 점도와 안정된 기계적 물성을 동시에 고려할 때, RDX의 입도 및 혼합 함량은 NEPE계 추진제의 주요 인자로 확인할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 two-phase model(이상 모델)을 활용하여, 고폭약(RDX) 입자가 고르게 분포되어 있는 에틸렌-공기 혼합물의 데토네이션 속도, 압력을 포함하는 데토네이션 특성을 확인하였다. 순수 가연성 기체 혼합물 내에 고폭약 입자를 분포시킬 경우, 고폭약의 화학 반응에 의한 열방출에 의해 순수 가연성 기체 혼합물의 데토네이션 보다 높은 압력 및 임펄스 증가를 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 수치해석 접근법으로 계산한 결과를 검증하기 위하여, 이전에 수행된 실험 결과(RDX 입자의 함량에 따른 데토네이션 압력/속도)와 비교하였다.

The important factors in the design of the gun propellant are impetus, flame temperature and pressure. In this paper, we considered a nitrocellulose based propellant composition that replaced sensitive NG(Nitroglycerin) with RDX(Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine) and DEGDN(Diethylene glycol dinitrate) which high energy and low sensitivity. Particle size and content of RDX are the two main factors that affect the burning stability of RDX-based propellants. Among them, the characteristics of the propellant according to the particle size of RDX were confirmed. The relative combustion rate(R.Q., Relative Quickness) of the propellant changed according to the RDX particle size, and internal ballistics of properties of propellant were also varied. The particle size of RDX can be confirmed as a major factor in the combustion and internal ballistics characteristics of the propellant.

The purpose of this study is to compare the degradation characteristics by subcritical water of RDX contaminated soil using batch mode and dynamic mode devices. First, upon application of RDX contaminated soil, RDX treatment efficiency was increased with increasing the temperature in both modes. At 150℃, the treatment efficiency was 99.9%. RDX degradation efficiency got higher with lower ratio of solid to liquid. However, the treatment efficiency in the dynamic mode tended to be decreased at a certain ratio of solid to liquid or lower. The treatment efficiency was increased when it took longer time for the reactions in both modes. As the results of analysis on concentration of treated water after subcritical water degradation, the RDX recovery rate of dynamic and batch modes at 150℃ was 10.5% and 1.5%, respectively. However, both modes showed very similar recovery rates at 175℃ or higher. RDX degradation products were analyzed in treated water after it was treated with subcritical water. According to the results, RDX degradation mechanism was mostly oxidation reaction and reduction reaction was partially involved. Therefore, it suggested that most of RDX in soil was degraded by oxidation of subcritical water upon extraction. According to this result, it was found that both batch and dynamic modes were very effectively applied in the treatment of explosive contaminated soil.

Reductive degradation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) by nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) was investigated to evaluate the feasibility of using it for in-situ groundwater remediation. Batch experiments were conducted to quantify the kinetics and efficiency of RDX removal by nZVI, and to determine the effects of pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and ionic strength on this process. Experimental results showed that the reduction of RDX by nZVI followed pseudo-first order kinetics with the observed rate constant (k_obs) in the range of 0.0056-0.0192 min⁻¹. Column tests were conducted to quantify the removal of RDX by nZVI under real groundwater conditions and evaluate the potential efficacy of nZVI for this purpose in real conditions. In column experiment, RDX removal capacity of nZVI was determined to be 82,500 mg/kg nZVI. pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and DO concentration varied significantly during the column experiments; the occurrence of these changes suggests that monitoring these quantities may be useful in evaluation of the reactivity of nZVI, because the most critical mechanisms for RDX removal are based on the chemical reduction reactions. These results revealed that nZVI can significantly degrade RDX and that use of nZVI could be an effective method for in-situ remediation of RDX-contaminated groundwater.

Luminscence spectra and decay of crystalline hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-s-tetrazine (RDX) are observed at 90 K and the effects of photochemical reaction on the luminescence of RDX are investigated. The uv light from high power Hg lamp is used for the photochemical reaction of RDX. While no significant changes are observed in the luminescence spectra after the photochemical reaction, the intensity profile of the spectra changes with the progress of chemical reactions. The biexponential decay of luminescence is modified by chemical reactions. Features of the electronic states of crystalline RDX are discussed in relation to the luminescence.

Attention to munitions constituents such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in the firing ranges is increasing due to their toxicity and high mobility to the environment. It is helpful to use a systemic model to predict the amount of contaminants for the establishment of environmental management of firing ranges. This study employed Training Range Environmental Evaluation and Characterization System (TREECS) program to estimate the mobility characteristics of TNT and RDX via groundwater leaching, soil erosion and surface water runoff. The prediction results of the TNT and RDX migration with TREECS showed that 68% of initial TNT and 21% of initial RDX were discharged through the soil erosion and the 20% of initial TNT and 54% of initial RDX ran out the firing range via the groundwater leaching. The rest of the initial TNT and RDX moved to adjacent surface water via surface runoff. The data suggest that soil erosion and surface runoff occupying 80% of TNT to the total amount are important migration pathways. On the other hand, groundwater leachning occupying 54% to the total amount was also important pathway for RDX.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of a gamma ray irradiation to decompose hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in an aqueous solution. The decomposition reaction of RDX by gamma ray irradiation was a first-order kinetic over the applied initial concentrations (10-40mg/L). The dose constant was strongly dependent on the initial concentration of the RDX. The removal of RDX was more efficient at pH below 3 and at pH above 11 than at neutral pH (pH 5-9). The required irradiation dose to remove 99% of the RDX (40mg/L) was 4, 8 and 1 kGy, at pH 2, 7 and 13, respectively. The dose constant was increased by two folds and over twelve folds at pH 2 and 13, respectively, when compared with that at pH 7. When an irradiation dose of 20 kGy was applied, the removal efficiencies of TOC were 80, 57 and 91% at pH 2, 7 and 13, respectively. Ammonia and nitrate were detected as the main nitrogen byproducts of RDX and formic acid was detected as an organic byproduct. The results showed that a gamma ray irradiation was an attractive method for the decomposition of RDX in an aqueous solution and it was found that a strong alkaline pH over 12 should be applied to the decomposition reaction of RDX.

Plastic bonded explosive(PBX) is mainly composed of the nitramine explosives, RDX, HMX, and polymer binders. When the adhesion between nitramine crystals and binder is not particularly strong and can be failed under stress, dewetting occurs rather suddenly and this leads to a significant drop in tensile strength of explosives. Mechnical property of plastic bonded explosive depends on the surface characteristics of filler and binder. In order to design for better adhesion, an understanding of the surface properties of explosive and binder is essential. In this study, 2 kinds of RDX and 4 kinds of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers are selected, since they are widely used in many plastic bonded explosives. The technical objective of this investigation is to calculate for the surface free energy of RDX and EVA using theory of Fowkes, van Oss, Neumann approaches and Kaelble equation and to predict the interaction between filler and binder from their surface free energies.
