Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9213117A1] Potentially hazardous compositions containing solid combustible fuels, oxidants, nitro-containing, nitramine-containing or nitrato-containing compounds and, in many cases, binders are desensitized by electrolysis at low current and over an extended period of time. Compositions containing binders are first oxidized at the anode (17, 18) to cause decomposition and swelling of the binder, followed by further oxidation of the remaining components of the composition or switching of the polarity (46) to cause reduction, as needed. The resulting compositions have a lowered sensitivity to initiation by such external influences as inadvertent impact or inadvertent electrostatic discharge.
