10.Stability and reactivity

10.1 Reactivity

no data available

10.2 Chemical stability

Stability at 300 deg K beta>alpha>gamma>delta. Beta is stable at room temp; alpha at 115-156°C; gamma at 156°C; delta at /approximately/ 170-279°C.

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions

As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated. Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air.CYCLOTETRAMETHYLENE TETRANITRAMINE, [WET WITH >= 10% WATER] is a high explosive. May begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation if mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides. May explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water. Presence of metal oxides increases thermal sensitivity. Wetting reduces sensitivity toward detonation.

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine has been reported to be resistant to biodegradation under aerobic conditions(1,2,3,4). No loss of cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine was observed in either fortified or field contaminated soil samples after 56 days during an aerobic biodegradation study(5). Cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine (22 mg/L) was not biodegraded aerobically after 28 days using a sludge enrichment culture from a sewage treatment plant(6). Bioremediation studies have reported that aerobic biodegradation of cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine is possible under specific conditions. Degradation of cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine was studied in water samples from the Holston River near the Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Kingsport, TN(7,8). Samples were collected downstream from a wasteline where this substance has been historically released. Cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine was not degraded aerobically after 15 days in the river water alone(7). However, when 50 ppm sterile yeast extract was added, the concentration decreased from 4 ppm to less than 0.1 ppm after three days of incubation(7). It was noted that degradation took place only in fresh samples and was not observed in stored river water. In a separate study, the biodegradation of cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine in dextrose, molasses, alfalfa, livestock manure, and in historically contaminated soil ranged from none to a reduction in concentration from 6 to 1 mg/L(9). Horse manure was reported to be the most successful regime(9). The biodegradability of cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine in an activated sludge unit, 5 days retention time, has been reported to be 53%(10).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 1 was calculated for cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.16(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC)

12.4 Mobility in soil

Experimentally determined Koc values for cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine in an agricultural topsoil and in Sasifrass sandy loam were 30 and 209, respectively(1). According to a classification scheme(2), Koc values ranging from 30-290 suggest that cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine is expected to have very high to moderate mobility in soil. A Koc value of 670 was determined for this chemical in Holston River sediment based on a measured sorption coefficient of 8.7 and an organic carbon content of 1.3%(3).

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
