At present, the bases and arsenals of the RF Ministry of Defense contain a considerable quantity of conventional ammunition (CA) with an expired shelf life. The total quantity of high explosives contained in them is estimated at about 100 million tonnes. Certainly, this value is not comparable with the annual consumption of industrial explosives in Russia (1 million tons). However, if we take into account the potential man-made danger, as well as the absolute material value of chemical raw materials, their introduction into the economic turnover is an important environmental and economic task.
Despite the widespread work on the disposal of ammunition, the problem of both the discharge of ammunition filled with powerful aluminized explosives, and the use of extracted explosives in the extractive industries remains relevant. In the present work some questions of the use of aluminized explosives of the composition type: hexogen, phlegmatizing agent - aluminum powder, as the main component for the production of industrial explosives are considered.
