“…Fe 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 /graphene oxide have been used as burn rate catalysts in energetic materials. M. Gerlich et al [15] presented the findings of burn rate tests performed on a Fe/BaO 2 pyrotechnic delay composition. The catalytic performance of Fe 2 O 3 in the thermal degradation of ammonium perchlorate was studied by Li X. et al [16] Catalytic effect of n-Fe 2 O 3 & rGO-Fe 2 O 3 was observed on the thermal decomposition of CL-20/HMX cocrystal by Wu et al [17] Danali et al [18] discussed in his review about use of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles in delay/priming composition and in green pyrotechnics.…”

Hematite nanoparticles (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) were successfully synthesised using facile and eco-friendly hydrothermal method. Synthesised hematite nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, surface area analysis and transmission electron microscopy. Nano/ micro particles of Hematite (1, 3&5 %, w/w) were incorporated in aerosol forming composite (AFC). For the first time, catalytic effect of nano and micro size hematite on performance of AFC has been creatively investigated with respect to combustion and fire extinguishment parameters. Incorporation of nano hematite (5 %, w/w) in AFC reduced the combustion temperature (by 11 %) and tremendously boosted the burn rate & combustion efficiency by 30&7.5 % respectively. This in turn produced the aerosols in less time and put out the fire quickly (< 5 s). Hematite nano counterpart was discovered to be more promising than its micro equivalent. This exploratory study is valuable in the field of development of futuristic ultra-fast fire extinguishants.

“…Of course, due to the use of organic binders or a system of several oxidants, at least one of which can decompose at a temperature lower than the reaction temperature in the solid state, the term is also used for mixtures generating less than 10 mL of gaseous products per 1 g of mixture [ 7 ]. Several pyrotechnic mixtures have been proposed in recent years that meet these conditions (e.g., Ti/C-3Ni/Al [ 8 ], Fe/BaO 2 [ 9 ], Sb/KMnO 4 [ 10 ]). Unfortunately, the high ignition temperature and high heat losses due to the dissipation of energy through the walls of the time delay element make many gasless mixtures impractical due to the possibility of stopping the combustion wave.…”

The widespread use of pyrotechnic compositions in time delay detonators is the reason for research aimed at expanding knowledge of the combustion properties of new pyrotechnic mixtures, whose components react with each other in the solid or liquid state. Such a method of combustion would make the rate of combustion independent of the pressure inside the detonator. This paper presents the effect of the parameters of W/CuO mixtures on their properties of combustion. As this composition has not been the subject of previous research and is not described in the literature, the basic parameters, such as the burning rate and the heat of combustion, were determined. In order to determine the reaction mechanism, a thermal analysis was performed, and the combustion products were determined using the XRD technique. Depending on the quantitative composition and density of the mixture, the burning rates were between 4.1–6.0 mm/s and the heat of combustion in the range of 475–835 J/g was measured. The gas-free combustion mode of the chosen mixture was proved using DTA and XRD. Determination of the qualitative composition of the combustion products and the heat of combustion allowed estimation of the adiabatic combustion temperature.

The fallowing article presents the combustion studies of Fe/alkaline earth metals peroxides composition. It contains a literature review and the results of own research, which aim is to determine the possibility of using iron-based thermite compositions in time delay elements. The article focuses on the investigation of combustion front propagation rate as a function of a pressing load, the iron content and the purity of used oxidants. The DSC, TG and XRD analysis confirmed that reactions in this system occurs mainly in the solid state.
