redbullzuiper Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Found this paper on pyrobin. I thought was worth sharing it, alot of good information. Its alot to read but has some incredible good information and background. http://www.pyrobin.com/files/more%20environmentally%20benign%20red%20and%20green%20light%20compositions.pdf Edited December 24, 2020 by redbullzuiper
Sulphurstan Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 Thank you for sharing this! I like this kind of paper, where new fancy chemical compounds are tested for new pyrotechnic compositions. How did you find it? Is there a source for getting this papers?
redbullzuiper Posted December 25, 2020 Author Posted December 25, 2020 Thank you for sharing this! I like this kind of paper, where new fancy chemical compounds are tested for new pyrotechnic compositions. How did you find it? Is there a source for getting this papers? I mostly use google and then happen to step upon a great source of information. I found this particulair piece when browsing pyrobin, pyrobin is an amazing site with alot of great papers and information. But also has very bad and/or old information.
Mumbles Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 That's a PhD thesis. It was research performed under Thomas Klapotke. https://www.hedm.cup.uni-muenchen.de/personen/professors/klapoetke/index.html Generally the thesis will contain a mix of research published in journals, which can be obtained, but isn't overly cheap without a university access source. It often contains some research that hasn't been published yet. Theses are usually available for free, but sometimes have a public distribution hold. They may be published online for free, say 1 year after the submission or something. You may want to try to find other theses from his group to try to get more information on this general topic.
Arthur Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 While the thesis may be excellent science, no aspect of science is money orientated. Someone has to arrange that the complicated molecules are available cheaply in sufficiently small quantities for a very small very seasonal market. Many ingredients for fireworks have historically come from another industry as waste or surplus. Expressed as carbon footprint 1000 cars arriving for a display will emit more pollution than a 30 minute display. 1
sora Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) The thesis was dedicated to: "Für Mönch Schwarz"... Berthold Schwarz Another of this kind:https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acssuschemeng.6b00041BTW, One research group from Vilniaus University, Lithuania , is into active research on this topic. Check their publications if you've not gone through already:https://naujienos.vu.lt/vu-ekspertas-fejerverkai-kaip-geles-tik-elgtis-su-jais-reiketu-ypac-atsargiai/Check also Saturday Live seminars of Western Pyrotechnic association, the old ones are possibly available in their website/facebook page as well https://www.westernpyro.org/seminars Edited December 26, 2020 by sora
