What are the applications of Application

Guanidine carbonate salt is a strong base in aqueous solutions

What are the applications of Application

Guanidine carbonate salt can be used as a reactant for the synthesis of:
An oxidizer, guanidinium dinitramide (GDN), by reacting with ammonium dinitramide.
Guanidinium cyclopropanecarboxylate by reacting with cyclopropanecarboxylic acid.

Preparation

Synthesis of guanidine carbonate: Melt double cyanide salts and ammonia to generate guanidine salts (guanidine hydrochloride, guanidine nitrate) at 170-230 ℃ . Then make guanidine salt into an alcohol solution, add soda to free guanidine, absorb carbon dioxide to obtain guanidine carbonate.

Hazard
