Nano metal oxide as Catalyst for thermal decomposition of Ammonium perchlorate

Abstract

Nano metal oxide (NiZnO₂) was synthesis by chemical co-precipitation method. Nano metal oxide was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Nano-mixed metal oxide use as catalyst for the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate. The study of catalytic activity of Nano metal oxide was on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate using Thermogravimetic analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC). Activation energy of high temperature decomposition (HTD) of with Nano metal oxide was calculating using DSC by Kissinger equation. The catalytic activity of Nano metal oxide much sensitive and may be effective to get better the decomposition efficiency of Ammonium Perchlorate.
