Abstract
The thermal decompositions of ammonium nitrate (AN) and ammonium perchlorate(AP) are investigated by ARC (Accelerating Rate Calorimeter). The curves of thermal decomposition temperature and pressure versus time for the two systems are obtained. There are obvious differences in decomposition characteristic between the two chemicals. The kinetic parameters such as apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor of the thermal decomposition of AN and AP are calculated respectively.
