“…An advanced HAN-based monopropellant formulation named SHP163 was also developed by Japanese researchers. Besides HAN, the liquid monopropellant formulation consists of AN, methanol and water [35]. The pro-pellant is considered as a green substitute for the Innovative Satellite Technology project [36].…”

This article gives a short review on compatibility and chemical stability of selected aqueous ADN and HAN‐based energetic formulations. A brief introduction will outline Energetic Ionic Liquids (EILs) as a new class of energetic materials with beneficial physical‐chemical properties which make them valuable for application in propulsion technologies. EILs combine the advantages of e. g. low toxicity, showing equal or superior propulsion power compared to the state‐of‐the‐art monopropellant hydrazine. Focus is set on open access ADN and HAN‐based monopropellant formulations that are e. g. realized in the advanced blends LMP‐103S, FLP‐106 or LGP 1845.

“…At peak decomposition temperature, products identied for HAN are HNO 3 , NO 2 , and N 2 O. N 2 and H 2 O are other products which are not identied, thanks to the technique's constraints, but known as decomposition products as per available literature. 14,16,35 H 2 O was separated from evolved gas stream due to an in-built desiccator of FTIR gas cell. In catalysed system the overall product prole remains similar but with differing proportions of the constituent gases.…”

“…12,15 The catalyst in the thruster can be in the form of supported metal pellets, wire mesh or as monolith. 14,16 Besides the bed geometry that decides the optimum pressure drop, the cost of active metal is critical in the development of monopropellant thruster. In recent times there have been many attempts to replace precious metal catalysts with low cost metal oxides in many combustion applications.…”

Flow-Tube Investigations of Hypergolic Reactions of a Dicyanamide Ionic Liquid Via Tunable Vacuum Ultraviolet Aerosol Mass Spectrometry

et al. 2016

Hydroxylammonium nitrate (HAN) is a promising candidate to replace highly toxic hydrazine in monopropellant thruster space applications. The reactivity of HAN aerosols on heated copper and iridium targets was investigated using tunable vacuum ultraviolet photoionization time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometry. The reaction products were identified by their mass-to-charge ratios and their ionization energies. Products include NH 3 , H 2 O, NO, hydroxylamine (HA), HNO 3 , and a small amount of NO 2 at high temperature. No N 2 O was detected under these experimental conditions, despite the fact that N 2 O is one of the expected products according to the generally accepted thermal decomposition mechanism of HAN. Upon introduction of iridium catalyst, a significant enhancement of the NO/HA ratio was observed. This observation indicates that the formation of NO via decomposition of HA is an important pathway in the catalytic decomposition of HAN.
