Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-energy energetic materials, specifically, it relates to a method for preparing pentazolyl hydroxylamine-based composite energetic microspheres. Background Technology
[0002] Energetic materials are essential destructive and propulsion energy materials for various weapon systems (including ballistic and cruise missiles), and are important components of explosives, propellants, and detonation products. Ultra-high-energy energetic materials refer to novel high-energy substances with energy at least an order of magnitude higher than conventional explosives. All-nitrogen materials, as a current focus of global research, are ultra-high-energy energetic materials with theoretically energies reaching 6-8 times the TNT equivalent, and their decomposition products are extremely stable nitrogen gas. Compared to traditional energetic materials, the energy released by all-nitrogen materials mainly comes from the large bond energy difference between N-N single bonds, N=N double bonds, and N≡N triple bonds in the molecule. Furthermore, due to nitrogen's electronegativity being second only to F and O, it can form strong chemical bonds; that is, all-nitrogen derivatives, composed entirely or partially of nitrogen, possess a certain degree of stability. Compared to traditional energetic materials, all-nitrogen materials have advantages such as ultra-high energy, low characteristic signals, and clean detonation products. As a typical representative of all-nitrogen materials, N5ˉ ions are considered the most promising all-nitrogen material for early application due to their mild preparation conditions. Therefore, conducting in-depth research on N5ˉ ions has significant theoretical implications and promising practical applications.
[0003] Since Nanjing University of Science and Technology synthesized the first stable N5ˉ ion salt (N5)6(H3O)3(NH4)4Cl [Science, 2017, 355, 374-376], the first hydrated N5ˉ ion metal salt Co(N5)2(H2O)4·4H2O [Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2017, 56, 4512-4514], and the first anhydrous N5ˉ ion metal salt AgN5, as well as more than thirty anhydrous N5ˉ ion nonmetallic salts, pentazolium chemistry has made groundbreaking progress. Among them, [NH3OH]... + N5ˉ、[N2H5] + N5ˉ and [NH4] + High-nitrogen-content, high-energy N5ˉ ionic salts, such as N5ˉ, possess advantages such as good stability and excellent detonation performance. Theoretical studies have shown that [NH3OH] + The theoretical detonation velocity and detonation temperature of N5ˉ reach 9930 m / s and 6283 kJ / kg, respectively, which exceeds the best-performing third-generation energetic material CL-20. It is currently the best-performing single-element energetic material in terms of overall explosive performance reported both domestically and internationally, and has significant potential application value in the fields of warhead, propellant, and propellant research.
[0004] But [NH3OH] +The high sensitivity and strong hygroscopicity of N5ˉ are mainly due to [NH3OH]. + N5ˉ crystals are mostly needle-like or rod-like, and the exposed N atoms on the crystal surface readily form hydrogen bonds with water molecules in the air, absorbing moisture from the air and thus limiting the [NH3OH] crystal structure. + Applications and development of N5ˉ in the field of energetic materials.
[0005] Currently, coating methods are widely used in the field of energetic materials. By constructing composite materials, the mechanical sensitivity and hygroscopicity of explosives can be effectively reduced. Sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel, as a natural biomaterial, has attracted much attention due to its unique three-dimensional network structure and has been widely used for the coating protection and sustained release of drugs and protein molecules. Studies have shown that this technology is also applicable to the field of energetic materials, and can significantly improve the safety and stability of energetic compounds. SA is a dipolysaccharide composed of two monomers, β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic acid (G). The G unit in its molecular chain can be transported by divalent metal ions (such as Cu). 2+ Ionic cross-linking occurs, forming a three-dimensional network gel. The microstructure of this gel resembles a precise "cage," uniformly encapsulating drugs or energetic molecules for efficient loading and protection. After drying, the gel forms a mesoporous structure, which not only regulates the energy release rate of energetic materials but also reduces sensitivity through physical isolation. Based on these properties, alginate gels demonstrate significant application value in improving the thermal stability of explosives, inhibiting unintended decomposition, and enhancing safety. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To solve the problem of [NH3OH] in existing technologies + To address the issues of high sensitivity and high hygroscopicity of N5ˉ, this invention leverages the property of sodium alginate and metal ions to form a gel network through ion cross-linking. It utilizes sodium alginate, copper chloride, and [NH3OH]. + Using N5ˉ as raw material, pentazolyl hydroxylamine-based composite energetic microspheres are formed, thereby reducing their hygroscopicity and mechanical sensitivity.
[0007] A method for coating pentazolidinyl hydroxylamine salt with copper alginate (CA) includes the following steps:
[0008] (1) Add [NH3OH] to deionized water + N5ˉ(QA) and SA were ultrasonically mixed to obtain a QA / SA mixed hydrogel.
[0009] (2) While stirring, slowly drop the QA / SA mixed hydrogel into the liquid paraffin. After the addition is complete, continue stirring at the same speed for 30 minutes to obtain a uniform W / O emulsion.
[0010] (3) Add the isopropanol solution of CuCl2 dropwise into the above W / O emulsion and stir for 2 hours;
[0011] (4) Filter, wash with petroleum ether, freeze and dry under reduced pressure for 24 h to obtain QA / CA microspheres.
[0012] Furthermore, [NH3OH] + The mass ratio of N5ˉ to SA is 95:5.
[0013] Furthermore, the concentration of the QA / SA mixed hydrogel is 1.0 g / mL.
[0014] Furthermore, the volume ratio of the QA / SA mixed hydrogel to the liquid paraffin is 1:10.
[0015] Furthermore, in steps (2) and (3), the stirring speed is 300-1000 rpm, preferably 1000 rpm.
[0016] Furthermore, in step (3), the dropping rate is 0.5-2 mL / min, preferably 1 mL / min.
[0017] Furthermore, the concentration of isopropanol in CuCl2 is 0.05 g / mL.
[0018] Furthermore, the volume ratio of the CuCl2 isopropanol solution to the W / O emulsion is 1:11.
[0019] Furthermore, the vacuum drying temperature is 20-50℃, preferably 30℃.
[0020] Compared with existing technologies, this invention uses a copper alginate gel network to coat pentazolyl hydroxylamine salt to form a composite material. By screening different mass ratios and drying methods, and strictly controlling the stirring rate and dropping rate, the optimal experimental formulation is selected to reduce hygroscopicity and mechanical sensitivity. This process has the following advantages: (1) It is simple to operate and can continuously produce [NH3OH]. + (2) The coating material is non-toxic, biodegradable, green, environmentally friendly, safe and reliable; (3) It effectively enhances [NH3OH] + The safety performance of N5ˉ. The pentaazole hydroxylamine salt crystals prepared by this invention have a regular morphology and exhibit a spherical crystal structure. Compared with the crystals before treatment, the hygroscopicity and mechanical sensitivity are significantly reduced.
