Eco-Friendly Smoking – A Clean Smoke for the Benefits of Climate and Foodstuffs
Abstract: The clean smoke smoking process protects the environment and ensures safe food. Smoking is indeed one of the oldest methods for preserving food; however, it is not quite the healthiest or the most beneficial to the environment. Despite all that tradition, a number of pollutants, primarily ash, tar and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are produced from smouldering wood, penetrate the food along with the smoke and are subsequently consumed. …

Practices and Utilization of Green Propellants in Space Technology
Abstract: We are facing environmental challenges related to the use of energetic materials in many areas of society. In this review paper, we will use the civil space sector as an example, and discuss some past and present attempts to develop and implement green propulsion technology. This article represented some of the challenges associated with taking a green material from the initial development state to its final application. Keywords: ammonium perchlorate, …

Rocket Propellants as an Efficient Energetic Material
Abstract: Rocket propellant is either a high oxygen containing fuel or a mixture of fuel plus oxidant, whose combustion takes place, in a definite and controlled manner with the evolution of a huge volume of gas. In the rocket engine, the propellant is burnt in the combustion chamber and the hot jet of gases (usually at very high pressures, with combustion temperatures approaching 3000K) escapes through the nozzle at very high …

Significance of RDX – A Highly Explosive Energetic Material
Abstract: Plastic demolition explosives containing RDX and PETN as major energetic components. Torpex: 42% RDX, 40% TNT, and 18% powdered aluminium. The mixture was designed during World War II and used mainly in underwater ordnance. It is made from other chemicals known as hexamine, ammonium nitrate, nitric acid, and acetic acid. A small amount of HMX is also formed in making cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine (RDX), another explosive similar in structure to HMX. Composition …

An Overview of Trinitrotoluene (TNT)
Abstract: As for TNT, it is also a high explosive. TNT is a yellowish compound with the chemical name trinitrotoluene, which is somewhat easier to remember than its chemical formula, CH 3C6H2(NO2)3. 2,4,6-TRINITROTOLUENE is a 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, which is an explosive chemical that can cause skin irritation and other toxic consequences. 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene is a yellow, odorless solid that does not occur naturally in the environment. It is commonly known as TNT and …
