Abstract
Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) w as used to follow the decomposition kinetics of ethylene glycol dinitr ate (EGDN) adsorbed on a zinc oxide surface at 313 K. The principal de composition products are most likely a variety of carbonyl, carboxylat e, and carbonate species. The appearance of these products follows zer oth-order Langmuir kinetics. Another decomposition product, carbon mon oxide, exhibited more complex kinetics. Overall, because of its reacti vity with EGDN, ZnO does not appear to be a suitable material for an e xplosive preconcentrator device.
