In order to study the thermal hazard of n-butylethanolamine in nitration reactions, a Calvet microcalorimetry was used to measure the exothermic evolution of the two-step nitration reactions, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to measure the thermal decomposition curves of the initial materials and nitration products at different stages of the two-step nitration reaction, and the most unstable reaction system during the reaction process was determined by comparing the initial decomposition temperature. Adiabatic acceleration calorimetry was used to measure the heat release process of the most unstable materials under adiabatic conditions, and the thermal safety characteristic parameters were obtained based on the adiabatic decomposition kinetics model. Finally, the degree of danger of BuEA nitration reaction was determined by the principles of reaction risk assessment. This study provides critical safety technical guidance for the BuEA synthesis process and safety design. The result shows that the BuEA nitration reaction is a strong exothermicity reaction. The maximum temperature of a synthesis reaction (MTSR) is 234.12 °C. The initial stage of the first-step nitration reaction represents the most unstable reaction system, and TD24 is 57.31 °C. According to the relationship among the TP, MTSR, TD24 and MTT, the degree of danger of the reaction can be divided into five levels. It is indicated that the adding rate of BuEA should be strictly controlled during the reaction process to keep the temperature rise below 57.31 °C and prevent decomposition exotherm in the reaction system. This study is the first systematic thermal hazard assessment for BuEA nitration process, filling the research blank of thermal safety for BuNENA industrial production. It provides essential technical support for defining safe operating boundaries, optimizing feeding control, and realizing inherent safety in synthesis and engineering design.
The thermal decomposition mechanism of 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine-1,3-dioxide (MDO) was investigateded using a combined approach of differential scanning calorimetry- thermogravimetric-mass spectrometry-fourier transform infrared (DSC-TG-MS-FTIR) techniques and ReaxFF molecular dynamics (ReaxFF MD) simulations. ReaxFF was employed to conduct ReaxFF MD of the response process of MDO under thermal stimulation, and the intermediate and final products of MDO thermal decomposition were obtained at temperatures of 2500 K, 3000 K, 3500 K, and 4000 K. The simulations results indicate that the initial decomposition stage of MDO predominantly involves H transfer and cleavage of N-H and N-O bonds. Subsequently, the intermediates undergo a series of complex interactions to form the final products, with the primary gaseous products of N2, H2, NH3, and CO2. The gaseous pyrolysis products derived from ReaxFF MD simulations were validated and analyzed by DSCTG-MS-FTIR techniques, which enhanced the reliability of the simulation data. By integrating experimental and simulation results, the microscopic process of MDO thermal decomposition was elucidated, leading to the identification of the primary decomposition pathways. This study contributes to the safe application of MDO as an energetic material.
3,4-Dinitrofurazanfuroxan (DNTF) exhibited pronounced detonation properties and moderate sensitivity, but restricted on thermal decomposition investigation in melt-cast explosives owing to the volatility. Thereby, we employed pressurized experimental methods and density functional theory (DFT) simulation to comprehensively study the thermal decomposition mechanisms of DNTF, DNTF/CL-20 and DNTF/TKX-50 mixtures. The decomposition peak temperatures of DNTF/CL-20 and DNTF/TKX-50 systems shifted forward by 62 °C and 51 °C compared with DNTF, along with multi-step composite autocatalytic reactions. Through pressurized DSC/TG-FTIR-MS characterization and DFT calculations, the initial decomposition was triggered by (O)NO bond rupture on furoxan ring, NNO2 bond cleavage in liquefied CL-20 for DNTF/CL-20 mixture, and (O)NO bond dissociation of DNTF rings activated by NH3OH+ from TKX-50, respectively, originating from intermolecular π-π and O−H•••π interactions. We provided a feasible strategy combining experiments and DFT simulations to elucidate thermal decomposition mechanism of DNTF-based materials, holing great potential for optimizing DNTF-based melt-cast explosive formulations.
In order to study the thermal hazard of butyl nitrooxyethyl nitramine (BuNENA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to measure the thermal decomposition curves at heating rates of 2.5 °C·min−1, 5 °C·min−1, 10 °C·min−1 and 20 °C·min−1. A thermal decomposition kinetic model was established by fitting DSC curves and the thermal hazards of BuNENA was assessed, which can effectively support the intrinsic safety design of BuNENA production and transportation processes, the establishment of scientific early warning systems, and the formulation of safety precautionary measures. The result indicates that BuNENA begins to thermal decomposition at 158.2–195.7 °C. As the heating rates increase, both the initial decomposition temperature (T0) and the peak temperature (Tp) moved toward the high temperature. The Freidman method indicate that the thermal decomposition of BuNENA is a complex process, the activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential (ln A) are 90–190 kJ·mol−1 and 17–37 s−1, respectively. The kinetic model has been established comprising continuous reactions which contain three steps, and kinetic parameters of each step are obtained. Additionally, the curve of time to maximum (TMRad) illustrate the process temperature should not be higher than 95.17 °C during the preparation and use of BuNENA, and the ambient temperature should be maintained below 74 °C during transportation.
Organoaluminum compounds have been employed as catalysts in many reactions. However, due to their high reactivity of the Al-C bond towards water or air, the accurate analysis and detection of organoaluminum compounds are still challenging. Here we demonstrate the possibility of rapidly and precisely detecting the purity and impurities of triethylaluminium (TEAL). An indirect GC-MS method via alcoholysis reaction using a designed alcoholysis reactor was adopted to detect and separate the main components and impurities of the synthesized TEAL. Previously, the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) methods were also selected to detect the main compounds in the synthesized TEAL. The impurities in TEAL was identified as n-butyl aluminum, and the purity of synthesized TEAL is 97.47 % with high accuracy (ca. 99 %). This work suggests a new strategy to detect the purity and impurities of some kind of hazardous compounds.

Safety evaluation of chemical reactions is very significant before industrial applications are conducted. A lot of thermal hazards are generated in the synthesis of 3,4-bis(4-nitrofurazan-3-yl)furoxan (DNTF) because of the strong exothermicity of the oxidation reaction, unstable hydrogen peroxide, and interactions between the materials. In this article, systematic parameters regarding the safe synthesis of DNTF were studied, including the preparation stage of reaction solution and the oxidation reaction step. A Calvet microcalorimeter and an RC1mx reaction calorimeter were employed for process safety research. Differential scanning calorimetry and adiabatic accelerating rate calorimetry were used to investigate the thermal stabilities of the materials and their thermal hazards. After screening of the thermal stabilities of the materials in the two stages, hazardous materials were identified, and their thermal safety parameters were obtained. Finally, two evaluation methods were applied to evaluate the hazard levels of the preparation process and the oxidation reaction process in the synthesis of DNTF on the basis of thermal safety parameters. This study provides critical safety technical guidance for the DNTF synthesis process and safety design.

The detection and separation of impurities are crucial for the quality control of triethylboron. While the purity of triethylboron is the key factor for ballistic performance, impact accuracy, and storage safety. This work will explore a modified gas chromatography-mass spectrometer method to detect and separate the impurities in synthesized triethylboron. They are identified as CH3CH2OCH2CH3, (CH3CH2)(3)B, (CH3CH2O)(3)B, CH3CH2CH2CH2B(CH3CH2)(2) and (CH3CH2)(3)O3B3. Further, optimized GC conditions are demonstrated to quantify the synthesized triethylboron accurately and determine its purity. The purity of triethylboron is 96.39 % via a normalization method with high accuracy (RSD=0.05 %). The optimized GC conditions were as follows: a hydrogen flame ionization detector, nitrogen as carrier gas whose pathway was installed with a water trap and an oxygen trap, an HP-5 capillary column (30 mx0.32 mmx0.25 mu m) with the column temperature of 60 degrees C, an inlet temperature of 120 degrees C, the detector temperature of 150 degrees C, and an injection volume of 0.6 mu L. This work demonstrates a simple and precise method to analyze the synthesized triethylboron and its impurities.
In the synthesis process of N-nitrodihydroxyethyl dinitrate (DINA) with the HNO3-Mg(NO3)(2) method, the thermal stability of the nitration reaction liquid of the final state is poor, which leads to the thermal runaway of the entire reaction system easily. The research on the thermal runaway reaction under actual reaction conditions indicates high consumption and high risk. In this article, thermal decomposition behavior and isothermal thermal decomposition kinetics of the nitration reaction liquid of the final state in the synthesis process of DINA were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and microcalorimetry. The mechanism of the stability of the nitration reaction liquid was explored. The thermal safety of the material in a large-scale reactor was simulated and predicted by a thermal simulation software on the basis of kinetic parameters including activation energy, pre-exponential factors, and mechanistic functions. These findings not only avoid the risk and consumption of large-size materials but also guide their application in process optimization, inherent safety design, and handling.
