Reaction Steps

To a solution of ammonium nitrate (45.5 grams) in 1.0 liter of analytical grade methanol was added potassium dinitramide stabilizer (4.5 grams) so as to form a potassium dinitramide-ammonium nitrate-methanol mixture. This suspension was heated to a temperature of about 60° C. to facilitate the complete dissolution of the stabilizer. The resultant clear solution was then evaporated, in vacuo, resulting in a white crystalline mass. The sample, thus prepared, was then dried to a constant weight in an oven under vacuum (≈30° C./20 mm Hg). Samples of this material were examined by ion chromatography (IC), atomic absorption and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) for potassium and dinitramide content. The calculated theoretical value for potassium dinitramide was 10%; the amount found by ICP was 10.02% based on the potassium content, with the potassium dinitramide content being 9.24% based on chromatographic analysis of dinitramide.
