Abstract
Different acid concentrations were used to synthesize triacetone triperoxid (TATP), which is simple and widely used as an explosive. Each combination was compounded with different thermal hazard characteristics. Methods are needed for the detection and comprehension of thermal decomposition of TATP. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to scan the thermal decomposition of TATP, and gas chromatography and mass spectrometer (GC/MS) were employed to exactly affirm the synthesized TATP. In this study, description and analysis of the mechanism of TATP decomposition were provided. Thermokinetics received by Kissinger method and Ozawa method were presented.
