Synopsis
This book summarizes essential research into a new generation of high-energy and insensitive explosives, providing professionals with comprehensive information on the synthesis and the physicochemical and detonation properties of these explosives. Technologies that can potentially be applied for the treatment of contaminated waste streams from manufacturing facilities and environmental matrices are also included.
The book introduces readers to the depth and breadth of theoretical and empirical models and experimental techniques currently being developed in the field of energetic materials. It presents the latest research efforts of engineers and scientists at the US Department of Defense (DoD) and some of the DoD's academic and industrial researcher partners. The topics explored and the simulations developed or modified for the purposes of energetics are also applied in other closely related fields, such as the pharmaceutical industry.
One of the book's key features is the treatment of wastewaters generated during the manufacturing of energetic materials.
