Abstract:The thermal decomposition processes of 2,2,2-trinitroethyl-N-nitromethyl amine(TNMA), bis(2,2,2-trinitroethyl-N-nitro)ethylene diamine(BTNEDA) and 2,2,2-trinitroethyl-4,4,4-trinitrobutyrate(TNETB) under the conditions of vacuum,high loading density at low temperature and low loading density at high temperature were studied by using a highly sensitive Bourdon glass membrane manometer. The characteristic data, induction period(tin), half decomposition period(t1/2), initial decomposition rate(W0), maximum decomposition rate(WM), and time to maximum decomposition rate (tM) at different temperatures for the thermal decomposition reaction of TNMA,BTNEDA and TNETB were obtained from the obtained standard volume of gas evolved (VH) and decomposition rate (dVH/dt) vs time (t) curves. The values of apparent activation energy Ea obtained by differential and integral isoconversional non-linear methods were used to check the validity of the values of apparent activation energy Ea obtained by plotting lgtin, lgt1/2 , lgW0 , lgWM and lgtM against 1/T. The results show that the relative error between the values of Ea and Ea corresponding to each characteristic datum is within ±10%.
