The invention belongs to the field of production and manufacturing of energetic materials for
fireworks and crackers, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a nitrocotton-based
pyrotechnic composition for
fireworks and crackers. The preparation method comprises the following steps: sequentially adding water, nitrocotton, a stabilizing agent and
ethyl acetate into a reaction kettle provided with a heating and stirring device, then adding protective glue, continuously stirring, adding a
sodium sulfate solution into the reaction kettle, dehydrating, adding
microcrystalline wax / paraffin into the reaction kettle after the particle morphology is stable, and continuously stirring; melting
microcrystalline wax / paraffin under the stirring action, and uniformly
coating the surfaces of the nitrocotton particles with the
microcrystalline wax / paraffin to form a layer of hydrophobic protective film, so as to obtain a semi-finished product; washing with
warm water to remove residual
sodium sulfate, protective glue and a small amount of
ethyl acetate; and
drying the washed product at the temperature of lower than 50 DEG C to obtain a final
gunpowder particle product. According to the method, the spherical and dense nitrocotton-based
pyrotechnic composition particles with good
surface coating can be prepared, and the free-running property, the
combustion consistency and the
moisture absorption resistance of the product are effectively improved.
