The invention discloses a preparation method of
zinc 5, 5'-azotetrazole, a green primary explosive. The method comprises: taking 5-aminotetrazole as the starting material, which is oxidized into
sodium 5, 5'-azotetrazole by an alkaline oxidation method, then adopting pure water as the base solution, using a
metering pump to control the feeding speed of a
zinc acetate solution and a
sodium 5, 5'-azotetrazole solution, and adding them dropwisely into the base solution for a
combination reaction, then carrying out heat preservation, cooling, pumping
filtration, washing,
dehydration, and
drying, thus obtaining a finished product of
zinc 5, 5'-azotetrazole. The zinc 5, 5'-azotetrazole of the invention has the advantages of simple and safe synthesis method,
low toxicity or no
toxicity raw materials, low cost, no black residue after explosive
decomposition, and small residue amount, generation of
nitrogen as general gas product, no environmental
pollution, as well as good explosion performance, thus being a green primary explosive.
