Abstract

THERE ARE DISCLOSED COMPOSITIONS OF SOLID MATERIALS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING NON-TOXIC GASES BY A RAPID CHEMICAL REACTION UPON INITIATION OF THE REACTION. THE SOLID MATERIALS COMPRISE A SOLID INORGANIC REDUCING AGENT AND A SOLID INORGANIC OXIDIZING AGENT MIXED TOGETHER IN FINELY DIVIDED OR GRANULAR FORM AND COMPACTED WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF EITHER A BINDER OR SOLVENT. TYPICAL SOLID INORGANIC REDUCING AGENTS ARE THE SALTS OF HYDRAZINE, HYDROSYLAMINE AND HYDRAZOIC ACID. TYPICAL SOLID OXIDIZING COMPOUNDS ARE THE SALTS OF NITRIC ACID, NITROUS ACID, CHLORIC ACID AND PERCHLORIC ACID. THE GASES TYPICALLY PRODUCED ARE SOME OR ALL OF NITROGEN, WATER AND OXYGEN, AND WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF TOXIC GASES SUCH AS THOSE CONTAINING CARBON. THE GASES ARE DEVELOPED SPONTANEOUSLY WITHIN MILLISECONDS BUT WITHOUT EXPLOSIVE FORCE.
