Use of a microjet reactor for the production of initiating explosive

Abstract

What is described is the use of a microjet reactor for the production of initiating explosive, each of the starting solutions for explosive production in the microjet reactor being injected through a nozzle onto a common collision point into a reactor space enclosed by a reactor housing, a gas being admitted into the reactor space via an opening, and the resulting initiating explosive crystals being removed from the reactor housing together with the liquid and excess gas through a further opening.

1 . Use of a microjet reactor for the production of initiating explosive, each of the starting solutions for explosive production in the microjet reactor being injected through a nozzle onto a common collision point into a reactor space enclosed by a reactor housing, a gas being admitted into the reactor space via an opening, and the resulting initiating explosive crystals being removed from the reactor housing together with the liquid and excess gas through a further opening.  
   
   
       2 . The use according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the nozzle diameter is 10 to 1000 μm.  
   
   
       3 . The use according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the nozzle diameter is 50 to 100 μm.  
   
   
       4 . The use according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the total throughput is 10 to 1000 mL/minute.  
   
   
       5 . The use according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the total throughput is 50 to 500 mL/minute.  
   
   
       6 . The use according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the initiating explosive obtained is potassium dinitrobenzofuroxanate, lead azide, lead picrate, lead trinitroresorcinate or cesium dinitrobenzofuroxanate.
