The present invention relates to a method for synthesis of TKX-50 using an insensitive intermediate and, more specifically, to a method for producing TKX-50, the method comprising the steps of: preparing DCG as a starting material; forming a THP-DAG intermediate from the DCG; and synthesizing TKX-50 through the THP-DAG intermediate.

The present application belongs to the field of energetic compounds, and particularly relates to the use of a perovskite-type compound ABX.sub.3 as an energetic material. As a finding of the present application, the structural characteristics of the perovskite type enables the type of compound to be highly stable, thus overcoming the unsafety of an explosive having poor stability in the prior art. Meanwhile, the structural characteristics of the compound, such as rich energetic ligands, as well as the alternately arranged oxidizing energetic anions and reducing organic cations in the space, endow the compound with excellent performance on instantaneously releasing energy at detonation. The resulting three-dimensional structure allows the compound to not only have an energetic material effect but also overcome shortcomings of some existing energetic materials.

This document relates to energetic salts that contain an organic cation and an oxidizing anion and methods of using the energetic salt compositions, including methods of hydraulic fracturing, pressure pulse fracturing, formation damage removal, and lowering the viscosity of heavy oil.

A method for treating kerogen in a subterranean zone which includes the use of supercritical carbon dioxide or emulsions of liquid carbon dioxide and an aqueous fluid. The carbon dioxide or emulsions can further include oxidizers. The oxidizers can include inorganic oxidizers or organic oxidizers, for example an oxidizer including an organic cation and an oxidizing anion. Additional additives such as polymers, crosslinkers, clay inhibitors, scale inhibitors and corrosion inhibitors can further enhance the efficiency of the kerogen-treating carbon dioxide or emulsion.

The present invention provides a method for the preparation of an insensitive high enthalpy explosive Dihydroxylammonium 5,5-bistetrazole-1,1-diolate (TKX-50) in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, or N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone as a solvent via a four-step, one-pot reaction route to obtain a final product after four reaction steps. The more dangerous intermediate diazidoglyoxime may be solved by the one-pot method without the need of isolation. Further, the cyclization reaction is carried out in the presence of dropwisely added concentrated sulfuric acid to replace hydrochloric gas so no hydrochloric gas generator is needed to greatly reduce the amount of waste acid so as to effectively reduce the cost by avoiding using hydrochloric gas steel cylinders which require much safety equipment.

A method of making copper (I) 5-nitrotetrazolate (DBX-1) in isolated form comprising: a) reacting bis(ethylenediamine) copper (II) nitrotetrazolate with nitric acid or sulfuric acid to form a reaction product, subsequently b) reducing the reaction product of a) with ascorbate or ascorbic acid and reacting with copper chloride or copper sulfate to form copper (I) 5-nitrotetrazolate, and subsequently isolating the copper (I) 5-nitrotetrazolate (DBX-1) as a precipitate. The copper (I) 5-nitrotetrazolate produced by said method is useful as a primary explosive.

A method of synthesising an organic high explosive includes the steps of i) providing a first solution A, ii) providing a second solution B, wherein the admixture of solution A and solution B are selected such that they are capable upon formation of the admixture of reacting together to provide an organic high explosive, and iii) causing the solution A and B to be mixed and passed through a flow reactor to create an admixture, wherein the flow reactor includes a pipe, wherein the internal diameter of the pipe is selected such that it is less than the critical diameter of the organic high explosive, thereby preventing detonation of the formed organic high explosive in said flow reactor.
