RECYCLING OF EXCESS AND DEMILITARIZED ENERGETIC MATERIALS IN COMMERCIAL EXPLOSIVE APPLICATIONS
SINOPSIS
Universal Tech Corporation, has achieved considerable success in the area of recycling excess and demilitarized energetic materials. The recycling of these materials into commercial explosive formulations for use in mining and quarrying has proven to be a viable option for handling excess and demilitarized energetic materials. The focus of this paper will be on describing the Propellant/Explosive Evaluation Model (PEEM), which Universal Tech utilizes when developing a recycling method for a particular energetic material. In particular, details will be given concerning the results of a study project which Universal Tech conducted for Sandia National Laboratories. In this study project, Sandia provided Universal Tech with cryogenically downsized particles of two rocket propellants. Universal Tech successfully developed commercial explosive formulations using both of the propellants.
