The Influence of Detonation Synthesis Conditions on the Yield of Condensed Carbon and Detonation Nanodiamond Through the Example of Using TNT-RDX Explosive Mixture

Abstract

A ratio between the predicted and actual yields of condensed carbon in post-detonation processes of nanodiamond synthesis has been studied. These values are shown to closely coincide when optimal synthesis conditions are ensured. The yields of condensed carbon and detonation nanodiamonds in the industrial synthesis are 12.0 wt % and 8.16 wt %, respectively; the DND concentration in DS is up to 68 wt %.
