Explosive properties of the compositions CCl₄ + Al + ZnO

Abstract

The compounds CCI4 + Al + ZnO were suitably prepared, so that its ability to detonate could be investigated. The detonation velocity (D) dependence on the charge density (ρ) has been established. The increase of density above 1.8 kg/dm3 particle velocity was measured. Extraordinarily low parameters of detonation are explained by the special peculiarity of the explosion products.
