Applications and Technologies of Reusing Waste Gun Propellants

Abstract:

As a kind of particular hazardous materials, waste or expired gun propellants must be properly disposed. The applications of reusing waste gun propellants in the industry of china were summarized. Some disposal technologies were also introduced. Waste gun propellants were not only transformed into some chemical products and civil special energies, but also they were reused as ingredients in different kinds of industrial explosives. Among those the incorporation of propellants into industry explosives offers the most economically effective, safe and environmentally friendly method. This paper also suggests that the trend for disposing energetic materials is resource, recovery and reuse (R³) technology.
