Abstract
The kinetics of ammonium nitrate thermal decomposition was studied by the differential thermal analysis in the pressure range from atmospheric to 1.0 GPa. The decomposition under pressure was shown to obey the zeroβorder equation with a constant proportional to the initial HNO~3~ concentration in the sample. The structural transitions in ammonium nitrate were found to affect its exothermic interaction with boron. The mechanism of this phenomenon was interpreted. The experimental data allowed to establish volume changes on melting ammonium nitrate, equal to 0.072 cm^3^/g.
