Title: Nitric oxide formation in nitrosation reactions, with applications in the sensitisation of emulsion explosives
Author/Creator: Rayson, Mark Stuart
Institution: University of Newcastle. Faculty of Engineering & Built Environment, School of Engineering
Description: Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Description: This thesis examines the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions leading to production of nitrogen oxides during nitrosation reactions and, in particular, those occurring under conditions relevant to the sensitisation of emulsion explosives, where these toxic gases pose a hazard to explosive users. The decomposition of nitrous acid and nitrosyl thiocyanate were identified in the literature review as likely sources of nitrogen oxides during nitrosation reactions and were subjected to detailed experimental and computational studies.
