Abstract

A process for the production of an exothermically reacting composition, such as a propellant or explosive, containing at least one normally solid reactive constituent comprises the steps of:forming a uniform dispersion of the ingredients of the said composition in a carrier liquid;forming droplets of said dispersion;feeding said droplets into a cooling medium at a temperature below the freezing point of said carrier liquid to form solidified droplets; andfreeze-drying said solidifed droplets.
