Abstract
The flash pyrolysis of ammonium perchlorate has been studied by kinetic spectroscopy. The absorption spectra of OH, ClO2, ClO, NO, and NH are described, and the relative concentration of each is given for the period of 1000 μsec following the initial photoflash. A mechanism for the flash pyrolytic decomposition of ammonium perchlorate is given in terms of the spectra observed. The flash pyrolytic data support the evidence that the initial step in the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate leads to the formation of ammonia and anhydrous perchloric acid. Subsequent reactions consist of the high‐temperature oxidation of ammonia by perchloric acid.Keywords
