Electrochemical Study on TAGN. A differential pulse polarography determination

Abstract This work shows an electrochemical study about triaminoguanidine nitrate, estimating the influence of the reaction compounds for the formation of TAGN and secundary compounds and hydrolysis products of this formation reaction. The conditions to determine polarographically the content of TAGN in a propellant without the interference of those compounds are verified. The method used is the differential pulse polarography in aqueous medium, due to the high solubility of TAGN in water. We have used three different media as electrolyte support, verifying the influence of different variables, as pH, drop time etc., to obtain the optimum work conditions.
