Abstract

Thermal analysis curves of black powder and its raw materials were measured with heating rates of 5, 10, 20 and 40 °C min ^-1 by differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC ) and thermogravimetry (TG). Thermal decomposition of black powder was discussed based on experimental data. The functions of sulphur, charcoal and KNO₃ were demonstrated when black powder was heated. Moreover, according to Kissinger equation, activation energy and pre-exponential factor of black powder were calculated to be 98.5 kJ·mol^-1, 113.4 kJ·mol^-1 and 5.6 s^-1, 11.1 s^-1 respectively.
