Brief description of the charges of crystals of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (cl20) of monomodal submicronic particle size, said fillers and their use as fillers for seeding

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the production of charges (energy) of crystals of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (cl20 or hniw) of monomodal submicronic particle size (d50 ≦ 1 μm) as well as the charges, which is novel per se, which can be obtained by said process. It also relates to the use of said fillers to inoculate saturated solutions of cl20 in order to obtain crystals of cl20 of small size. The process in question comprises continuous grinding of a load of crystals of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane, of particle size at - addition of a micron (d50 1 μm), in suspension in a liquid, the said grinding being used, with cooling, for multi - passages of the suspension (1) in a mill (20) to flow, with a horizontal axis, to abrasion, with the grinding media (9) agitated.
