A method for recovering ammonium perchlorate from a solid composite propellant, the method being carried out at a temperature of less than 50° C. involving maceration of solid composite propellant fragments in the form of an aqueous suspension, the method being terminated when the ionic conductivity in the aqueous suspension reaches a stabilized value, of less than 60 mS/cm.

Method for extracting ammonium perchlorate from a solid composite propellant

TA method for treating an aqueous solution containing ammonium perchlorate and optionally nitrate ions, the method having a nitrification/denitrification sequence then a step of reducing perchlorates, the liquid effluent obtained at the end of this step of reducing perchlorates being subjected to a first membrane filtration, the liquid effluent obtained following this first membrane filtration being put into contact, in a reactor in aerobic conditions, with microorganisms able to carry out the oxidation of organic materials, then the liquid effluent leaving this reactor being subjected to a second membrane filtration, the first membrane filtration and the second membrane filtration being carried out on the same membrane filtration unit.
