Abstract
The present paper summarizes the results of the preliminary research conducted at the Institute of Energetic Materials, the University of Pardubice into the use of demilitarized energetic materials (TNT, RDX) in modification of the W/O emulsion explosives in the framework of grant project of MPO ČR No. FR-TI2/639. It describes the preparation of the emulsion explosives used, some physico-chemical parameters of demilitarized explosives and detonation parameters of the demilitarized and emulsion explosives mixtures. The results of study of certain mixtures containing no micro-balloons show that they have similar characteristics as the amatols and several dynamites. Incorporating of demilitarized explosives into the mixtures with emulsion explosives can be a solution to their health and environmental problems.
