DISPOSAL OF DISCARDED MUNITIONS BY LIQUID STREAM

The paper deals with a possibility of abrasive waterjet application for disposal of discarded munitions. Based on the analysis of current state it has been found out that the surplus munitions and the discarded munitions are destroyed mostly by using conventional techniques such as dumping at sea, outdoors burning, outdoors detonation, mining detonation and also open burning with combustion neutralization. The main aim of this paper is to present a new way of munitions disposal with a view of increasing both the operator safety and environmental protection. In terms of material, discarded munitions are composed of several components and valuable materials that need to be evaluated as efficiently as possible. Special attention is given to the abrasive water jet application in technological line for disposal of discarded munitions.
