Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid propellant technology, and relates to combustion catalysts for solid propellants, specifically to an iron oxide-based ammonium perchlorate composite and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Solid propellants are the power source for rocket and missile engines, and their combustion performance is closely related to the combat effectiveness and survivability of missile weapons. Therefore, the regulation of solid propellant combustion performance has become one of the key technologies restricting weapon performance, and the use of combustion catalysts is one of the most effective and direct means of regulating the burning rate.
[0003] Nanoscale iron oxide exhibits good catalytic combustion performance in composite propellants; however, its large specific surface area and surface energy make it prone to agglomeration, which significantly reduces its catalytic performance. Current physical mixing processes for composite propellants cannot effectively disperse nanoscale catalysts, resulting in poor interaction between the catalytic components and the oxidant AP. This leads to a large amount of inert catalyst being added, hindering efficient catalytic combustion. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide an iron oxide-based ammonium perchlorate composite and its preparation method, thereby solving the technical problem that the nano-sized iron oxide combustion catalyst in the prior art is difficult to disperse effectively, thus limiting its combustion catalytic performance.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A method for preparing an iron oxide-based ammonium perchlorate composite includes the following steps: ultrasonically dispersing a graphene iron oxide composite in a solvent to obtain a graphene iron oxide composite dispersion; dissolving ammonium perchlorate in the solvent by stirring to obtain an ammonium perchlorate solution; mixing the graphene iron oxide composite dispersion and the ammonium perchlorate solution evenly by stirring, and then spray granulating under a protective atmosphere using a spray granulator. The peristaltic pump of the spray granulator rotates at a speed of 2–20 rpm, and the temperature of the working chamber of the spray granulator is 140–200℃ (depending on the selection of the solvent); after spray granulation, an iron oxide-based ammonium perchlorate composite is obtained.
[0007] The present invention also has the following technical features:
[0008] Optionally and specifically, iron oxide is used instead of graphene iron oxide composite to prepare iron oxide dispersion; the concentration of the iron oxide dispersion is 1-10 mg / mL; the mass ratio of iron oxide to ammonium perchlorate is (0.01-0.1):1.
[0009] Specifically, the solvent is selected from water, acetone, aqueous acetone solution, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and dimethylformamide.
[0010] Preferably, the volume ratio of water to acetone in the acetone aqueous solution is 1:5.
[0011] Specifically, the protective atmosphere is a nitrogen protective atmosphere or an argon protective atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of less than 1%.
[0012] Specifically, the mass ratio of graphene iron oxide composite to ammonium perchlorate is (0.01-0.1):1.
[0013] Specifically, the concentration of the graphene-iron oxide composite dispersion is 1 mg / mL.
[0014] The present invention also protects an iron oxide-based ammonium perchlorate complex prepared by the preparation method of the iron oxide-based ammonium perchlorate complex as described above.
[0015] The beneficial technical effects of this invention compared to the prior art are as follows:
[0016] (I) This invention promotes the direct interaction between iron oxide and graphene iron oxide and ammonium perchlorate by preparing an iron oxide-based ammonium perchlorate composite, thereby improving the combustion catalytic efficiency.
