Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) has been studied quantum chemically at the level of UB3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) in order to get some information about its behavior in the presence of some group II and III elements (viz., Be, Mg, B and Al). The results indicate that Be and Mg are being oxidized by AND, but B and Al are not. In the case of Be and Mg, the reduction of ADN is accompanied by the removal of NO2 m...

atp-sensitive potassium (katp) channel openers have a relaxation effect due to the lower cellular membrane potential and inhibit calcium influx. there has been considerable interest in exploring katp channel openers in the treatment of various diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and urinary system disease and premature labor. the purpose of this study was to synthesize 3,3,6,6-tet...

The mechanism for sublimation of NH(4)N(NO(2))(2) (ADN) has been investigated quantum-mechanically with generalized gradient approximation plane-wave density functional theory calculations; the solid surface is represented by a slab model and the periodic boundary conditions are applied. The calculated lattice constants for the bulk ADN, which were found to consist of NH(4)(+)[ON(O)NNO(2)](-) u...

In order to reduce the hygroscopicity of ammonium dinitramide (ADN), four different ADN/nitrocellulose (NC) samples were prepared from acetone solutions using electrostatic spraying, with concentrations 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 mg ml−1. The morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, regular uniform size examined x-ray powder diffraction differential calorimetry investigate crystal stru...

Currently, several green propellants are under investigation to replace the toxic and carcinogenic monopropellant hydrazine . Beside alternatives as ammonium dinitramide-based propellants, hydroxylammonium nitrate-based mixtures, or high concentrated hydrogen peroxide, mixtures of fuels with nitrous oxide called HyNOx NOFBX represent promising propellants. Compared classical , offer a higher pe...

irrigation with distillery effluent, besides influencing crop yield, may have considerable impact on physical properties of soil because of its high salt and organic carbon contents. this experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of distillery effluent on hydraulic conductivity of a sandy loam alluvial soil and compare the effect of inorganic salts of potassium (k) with that of di...

abstract nitrogen is a key nutrient in plant growth and it is necessary for amino acid synthesis. sulfur has very important role in the biosynthesis of the alliums flavor and pungency precursors and potassium improve crop yield and quality. in order to study the effect of ammonium nitrate and potassium sulfate on concentration some of the mineral elements in onion (allium cepa l. azar shahr cv....
