Abstract – The article presents two approaches for liquidation of explosives of nitramine series: one method is based on alkaline hydrolysis in installations with partial regeneration of alkaline reagent, the other approach is relied on incineration in incinerators in a fluidized bed using heat energy recovery concept. Both methods are assumed to be economically feasible and are expected to reduce general expenses for utilizing explosives of the series under consideration.

Keywords: explosives, liquidation, environmental safety, alkaline hydrolysis, incinerator, fluidized bed, reactor.
