Thermal Ignition of Detonable Hydrogen Peroxide Compositions

Hydrogen peroxide can be mixed with a variety of fuels to produce detonable compositions. These compositions can be thermally unstable and their behavior can be difficult to predict. Furthermore, the addition of some acids to the mixture could increase its sensitivity. Presented here are the outcome of cookoff experiments performed on hydrogen peroxide and fuels compositions, as well as acid-sensitized mixtures.
