Abstract
- A system of buffered gelled water was developed to prevent and control fires from small spills of nitrogen tetroxide-(N2O4)-Aerozine 50-hypergolic fuel. Laboratory studies on various alkalis, buffers, and seavengers for the fuel components are described. Chilling and sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer was found to be the best additives to the gelled water. Field tests and a delivery system (airborne) for the extinguishant are described.
