Abstract – A new approach has been proposed to redefine the hazard class of wastes generated from utilization (disposal) of energetic materials (EM) by incineration (explosion). The approach provides two routine procedures: the first one involves revision of hazard class basing on the known elemental composition of the utilized (eliminated) EM, while the second procedure performs prediction of waste composition basing on data on its elemental composition. In the latter case, analytical data on waste composition are summarized and a “designing procedure” of chemical reactions is carried out with the subsequent analysis of complete oxidation products of waste ingredients. An algorithm for determining waste composition is proposed, which provides a simplified mechanism for determination of waste composition with representative, examples of calculations of hazard classes of EM wastes. The proposed approach will improve the accuracy of hazard assessment for EM wastes along with significant reducing the cost of utilization (disposal) of EM, as well as reducing the cost of storing these wastes at waste landfills.

Keywords: combustion, high power materials, hazardous waste, class of hazard, utilization.
