Characterization of ultra-fine aluminium particles with potential applications as composite propellants

Characterization Study of Aluminium 6061 Hybrid Composite

Aluminium matrix composites with alumina reinforcements give superior mechanical & physical properties. Their applications in several fields like automobile, aerospace, defense, sports, electronics, bio-medical and other industrial purposes are becoming essential for the last several decades. In the present work, fabrication of hybrid composite was done by Stir casting technique using Al 6061 a...

Separation of Ultra - Fine Sulphur Particles from Nta Dispersion by Aphron Flotation

Oxidative scrubbing is used to remove H2S from gas streams. A key problem in regeneration of the absorbent is the removal of fine particles of sulphur from the suspension of the scrubbing liquid. Dispersions of ultra-fine bubbles have been called "colloidal gas aphrons" or aphrons for short. These dispersions have interesting properties and it was found that they have particular advantages in t...

SYNTHESIS OF ULTRA-FINE PARTICLES OF BAFE12O19 BY CO- PRECIPITATION ROUTE USING CHLORIDE/NITRATE PRECURSORS

Ultra-fine particles of barium hexaferrite have been synthesized by co-precipitation method using barium nitride and iron chloride precursors with a Fe/Ba molar ratio of 11. Co-precipitation was carried out at 25 and 80°C using NaOH as a precipitant. Effect of coprecipitation and annealing temperatures on the phase composition and morphology of the products have been investigated using XRD and ...

Ammonium Nitrate as an Oxidizer in Solid Composite Propellants

Despite the fact that ammonium nitrate (AN) has the highest hydrogen content and fairly high oxygen balance (compared to other oxidizers), its extremely low formation enthalpy and relatively low density makes it one of the worst power oxidizers in solid composite propellants (SCP). Nevertheless, AN has certain advantages ¡ the combustion of the compositions containing AN is virtually safe, its ...
