Scalable synthesis of high purities ammonium dinitramide (ADN), 98.2% or more has been performed through conversion of potassium dinitramide (KDN) into ammonium dinitramide using guanylurea dinitramide (GUDN) as a precursor, which can be scalable up to a few hundred grams. The obtained ADN and corresponding liquid ADN blended with fuel was subject to the decomposition reaction with and without iridium catalyst. The result of the decomposition reaction suggested that the blending of methanol with ADN gave a high performance. It has been shown that the presence of ammonium hydroxide in the blend maintained pH around 10 and also stabilized the ADN solution for more than 20 day at 60 °C.

Keywords:Ammonium dinitramide;Decomposition;Long term stability;Catalyst
