Abstract
The influence of inorganic and organic catalysts on the combustion of ammonium bichromate has been investigated at pressures ranging from 1 to 1000 atm. The maximum catalytic action of additives has been found to occur at atmospheric pressure, with the combustion rate for the most effective additives decreasing by a factor of four to five. The influence of the same additives on the combustion of other ammonium salts studied earlier is compared.
