This invention provides a highly efficient
dehydration method for energetic and water-containing waste HTPB
propellant, comprising: Step 1, barrier
coupling sheet preparation: Under low temperature conditions of 5-10℃, the energetic and water-containing waste HTPB
propellant is placed inside a barrier, protected by an
inert gas, and pressed into
propellant sheets with a thickness ≤1mm using a two-roller press; Step 2,
fiber-like capillary adsorption: The propellant sheets obtained in Step 1 are spread flat on the surface of a multi-level
porous fiber-like capillary matrix, and allowed to adsorb statically. Through capillary effect,
free water on the surface of the propellant sheets is driven to migrate along the porous channels of the matrix and be captured, removing the surface
free water; The
fiber-like capillary matrix is composed of a
cellulose skeleton phase, a silica
aerogel porous control phase, a hydroxylated
nanocellulose interface functional phase, and a
polyurethane substrate supporting and stabilizing phase; Step 3, negative pressure physical
dehydration; Step 4, chemical selective
dehydration; Step 5, safe recycling. This invention has high dehydration efficiency, retains
thermal stability, is safe and controllable, and has low cost.
