The refined 3，3′-diamino-4，4′-azoxyfurazan （DAAF） was prepared by surfactant assisted spraying crystallization to improve its safety and initiation performance. Dimethyl sulfoxide （DMSO） and ionized water were separately used as the solvent and antisolvent. The effects of the type and concentration of surfactants as well as the volume ratio of solvent to antisolvent on the morphology， particle size and dispersion of refined DAAF were discussed. The morphology and crystal structure of the prepared refined DAAF were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope （FE-SEM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The results show that the spherical-like DAAF with uniform particle size distribution （180-220 nm） and good dispersion can be obtained when PEG-400 with a concentration of 0.8 g·L^-1 is used as surfactant and the volume ratio of solvent to antisolvent is 1∶20. Compared with the raw material， the thermal decomposition activation energy of the refined DAAF is increased by 23.1 kJ·mol^-1， the impulse initiation current is significantly decreased to 2.1 kA， and the vacuum venting， electrostatic spark sensitivity and thermal sensitivity are all reduced， demonstrating that the refined DAAF exhibits improved thermal stability， safety and initiation performance.
