Cracking agents are indispensable and important products
for national
energy exploitation and large-scale infrastructure construction. Transient
thermal expansion rock cracking agent is a new cracking agent product
with excellent performance that has just appeared in recent years.
However, it is still prepared by mechanical ball milling, which is
considered not the best choice among traditional methods for preparing
energetic materials. In this paper, a transient thermal expansion
rock splitting agent was prepared by the chemical deposition method
using carbon black and calcium peroxide as raw materials. The TG/DTG
results show that the mass loss of the sample can be divided into
four stages with the increase of temperature. It is worth noting that
the mass loss of the TG curve of the sample during the entire thermal
decomposition process is 93.385%, and the instantaneous weight loss
is 78.07% (β = 15 °C/min). Kinetic analysis of the thermal
decomposition process of the samples was performed using an isotransformation
program and a distributed activation energy model (DAEM). The activation
energy E
α of the thermal decomposition
of the sample was iteratively calculated. The results show that the a–E
a curve of the sample can be divided
into two stages. The pyrolysis kinetics of the first stage was successfully
analyzed by the DAEM method and its thermal conversion behavior was
predicted. The thermal decomposition behavior of the second stage
was analyzed by a traditional kinetic analysis method.
