International Classification:

C22B 2622

US Classification:

75101R

Abstract:

A method for disposing of tracer bullets having in a steel bullet a pyrotnic material containing strontium nitrate, magnesium, strontium peroxide, polyvinyl chloride, calcium resinate, barium peroxide, oxamide, zinc stearate, polyethylene, strontium oxalate and lead dioxide, with strontium nitrate and magnesium accounting for about sixty percent of the total material. The pyrotechnic material is removed from the steel bullet by drilling and the steel is used as scrap. Strontium nitrate is first removed from the material by dissolving in cold water, and the water solution of strontium nitrate is evaporated to reclaim the strontium nitrate. The remaining materials are given successive washes in hot water, isopropyl alcohol and methylene chloride to remove all the other materials except magnesium. The magnesium is dried and reclaimed.

International Classification:

C06B 2502

US Classification:

1491084

Abstract:

A method for disposing of a pyrotechnic composition comprised of red phosrus, manganese dioxide, magnesium, zinc oxide and linseed oil, with at least fifty percent of the composition being red phosphorus. The composition is burned in a first enclosed chamber and the products of combustion are drawn into a second enclosed chamber and burned. The product gases from the second enclosed chamber are sprayed with water to form phosphoric acid which is collected. The ashes in the first enclosed chamber are sprayed with water to produce phosphine which is burned in the first enclosed chamber and the residue is an inert ash.

B01D 1102
B01F 100

US Classification:

23297

Abstract:

A process is provided for reclaiming materials from photoflash cartridges ich are comprised of aluminum, barium nitrate and potassium perchlorate. The photoflash composition is dumped into heated water to dissolve barium nitrate and potassium perchlorate and the solution is then filtered to remove aluminum. Then the solution is cooled to precipitate the barium nitrate and the potassium perchlorate and the precipitated salts are then removed by filtering.

International Classification:

C06B 4510

US Classification:

1491096

Abstract:

A process for the disposal of decoy flares comprised essentially of magnem powder, fluorocarbon rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene. The flare is separated into chunks which are then soaked in acetone or ethyl acetate which dissolves the fluorocarbon rubber. The solvent and fluorocarbon rubber are decanted off and hexane is added to solidify the fluorocarbon rubber. The remaining ingredients are washed and then dried and screened to separate the magnesium powder.
