  • Solid compositions for generation fluorine and gaseous fluorine compounds
    Patent number: 4284617
    Abstract: A novel solid composition and method for generating fluorine and gaseous orine components comprising fluorine rich inorganic oxidizing salts such as tetrafluoro ammonium tetrafluoroborate borofluoride and a high energy fuel selected from the group consisting of metals and metal nitrides together with a complexing agent capable of reacting with and trapping the boron trifluoride combustion by-product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 1979
    Date of Patent: August 18, 1981
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy

  • Controlled generation of cool hydrogen from solid mixtures
    Patent number: 3977990
    Abstract: The hydrogen gas evolution rates and the gas temperatures of certain hydrn gas generating compositions are modified by adding compounds such as LiAlH.sub.4 which thermally decompose in the reaction zone producing hydrogen while lowering the reaction temperature; and acetonates, metal oxides, and the like which, when added in relatively small amounts accelerate the hydrogen gas evolution rate.
