Systems and methods for chemoremediation or mechanical destruction of undetonated explosive materials. An explosive apparatus contains an explosive material in close proximity to a chemical reagent selected for its chemoremediative properties. A barrier is interposed between the explosive material and the chemical reagent to delay the chemoremediation of the explosive material.
Alternatively a water expandable material may be incorporated into the explosive material, whereby upon exposure to moisture the water absorbing material will expand sufficiently to fragment the explosive material into initiation insensitive particles. Initiation insensitivity is achieved by incorporation of water, which acts as a desensitizing agent as well as fragmenting the explosive material into particles sufficiently small that they are below the critical diameter for explosive initiation.
The present invention also relates to self-degradable, shaped explosive formulations, comprising an explosive material and a water expandable material.
化学修复或机械破坏未爆炸物质的系统和方法。爆炸装置包含一种爆炸物质,与一种选择其化学修复性能的化学试剂密切接触。在爆炸物质和化学试剂之间插入一道障碍物,以延迟爆炸物质的化学修复。或者,可将一种可膨胀的吸水材料并入爆炸物质中,当暴露于水分时,吸水材料将膨胀足够大,将爆炸物质分解成启动不敏感的颗粒。通过加入水来实现启动不敏感性,水既起到减敏剂的作用,又将爆炸物质分解成足够小的颗粒,使它们小于爆炸启动的临界直径。本发明还涉及自降解的成形爆炸配方,包括一种爆炸物质和一种可膨胀的吸水材料。
