Abstract

Liquid oxidizer comprising an aqueous solution of hydroxyl ammonium nitrate and a nitrate salt that is ammonium nitrate or hydrazine mononitrate.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A liquid oxidizer comprising: a solution of   (1) from 5 to 30 weight percent of ammonium nitrate;   (2) from 60 to 85 weight percent of hydroxylamine nitrate; and   (3) from 10 to 25 weight percent of water.   
     
     
       2. The liquid oxidizer of claim 1 wherein ammonium nitrate comprises from 10 to 25 weight percent of the oxidizer. 
     
     
       3. The liquid oxidizer of claim 1 wherein hydroxylamine nitrate comprises from 60 to 75 weight percent of the oxidizer. 
     
     
       4. The liquid oxidizer of claim 1 wherein water comprises 10 to 20 weight percent of the oxidizer. 
     
     
       5. A liquid oxidizer comprising: a solution of   (1) from 10 to 60 weight percent of ammonium nitrate;   (2) from 10 to 70 weight percent of hydroxylamine nitrate; and   (3) from 10 to 60 weight percent of water.   
     
     
       6. The liquid oxidizer of claim 5 wherein ammonium nitrate comprises form 10 to 40 weight percent of the oxidizer. 
     
     
       7. The liquid oxidizer of claim 5 wherein hydroxylamine nitrate comprises form 30 to 70 weight percent of the oxidizer. 
     
     
       8. The liquid oxidizer of claim 7 wherein hydroxylamine nitrate comprises from 30 to 65 weight percent of the oxidizer. 
     
     
       9. The liquid oxidizer of claim 5 wherein water comprises 20 to 50 weight percent of the oxidizer. 
     
     
       10. The liquid oxidizer of claim 9 wherein water comprises 20 to 40 weight percent of the oxidizer. 
     
     
       11. In a liquid propellant comprising a fuel and a liquid oxidizer the improvement comprising using a liquid oxidizer that is a solution of   (1) from 5 to 30 weight percent of ammonium nitrate;   (2) from 60 to 85 weight percent of hydroxylamine nitrate; and   (3) from 10 to 25 weight percent of water.   
     
     
       12. The liquid propellant of claim 11 wherein ammonium nitrate comprises from 10 to 25 weight percent of the liquid oxidizer. 
     
     
       13. The liquid propellant of claim 11 wherein hydroxylamine nitrate comprises from 60 to 75 weight percent of the liquid oxidizer. 
     
     
       14. The liquid propellant of claim 11 wherein water comprises 10 to 20 weight percent of the liquid oxidizer. 
     
     
       15. In a liquid propellant comprising a fuel and a liquid oxidizer the improvement comprising using a liquid oxidizer that is a solution of   (1) from 10 to 60 weight percent of ammonium nitrate;   (2) from 10 to 70 weight percent of hydroxylamine nitrate; and   (3) from 10 to 60 weight percent of water.   
     
     
       16. The liquid propellant of claim 15 wherein ammonium nitrate comprises from 10 to 40 weight percent of the liquid oxidizer. 
     
     
       17. The liquid propellant of claim 15 wherein hydroxylamine nitrate comprises from 30 to 70 weight percent of the liquid oxidizer. 
     
     
       18. The liquid propellant of claim 17 wherein hydroxylamine nitrate comprises from 30 to 65 weight percent of the liquid oxidizer. 
     
     
       19. The liquid propellant of claim 15 wherein water comprises 20 to 50 weight percent of the liquid oxidizer. 
     
     
       20. The liquid propellant of claim 19 wherein water comprises 20 to 40 weight percent of the liquid oxidizer.
