1, 3, 3-trinitroazetidine (TNAZ). Study of thermal behaviour. Part II

Thermal behavior of TNAZ (1, 3, 3 – trinitroazetidine) was studied by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and thermogravimetryc analysis (TGA). It was found out that TNAZ is thermally more stable than RDX, but less stable than HMX and TNT. The reaction of intensive thermal decomposition starts at 183–230 oC, depending on heating rate, while the first exothermic reaction was observed at 178 oC at the heating rate of 1 oC/min. By applying multiple heating rate DSC measurements and Ozawa’s method the activation energy of 161.3 kJ/mol and pre-exponential factor of 8.27 1013 1/s were calculated from DSC peak maximum temperature-heating rate relationship. By the same method the activation energy of 157.5 kJ/mol and pre-exponential factor of 4.55 1013 1/s were calculated from DTA peak maximum temperature. By applying Flynn-Wall isoconversional method it was calculated from DSC measurements that the activation energy equals between 140 and 155.6 kJ/mol at degrees of conversion ranging between 0.3 and 0.7, while pre-exponential factor ranges between 7.8 1012 and 1.92 1013 1/s.
