Abstract:
The tetraammoniumcopper complexes can be both dangerous impurities in industry and easily available improvised explosives. This paper focuses on detonation parameters of tetraammoniumcopper nitrate (TACN). Two cylinder expansion tests were performed using powdered TACN to determine Gurney velocities. The particle velocity profiles were obtained using impedance window technique at the end faces of the charges and the detonation pressure value was estimated. Heat of detonation was measured in separate experiments by detonation calorimetry. For comparison, ideal values of the parameters were also calculated using the EXPLO5 thermochemical code for TACN at the experimental density and at the theoretical maximum density.
