Nadiya D. Destruction features of toxic waste are generated at the production and recycling of ammunitions.

The candidate's thesis is devoted to the providing of ecological safety of enterprises which are engaged in explosives utilization, and directed on toxic matters concentration elimination in the waste of these enterprises. It has been analyzed the literary sources of our country' and foreign authors, the ecological aspects of existent ammunitions and explosives utilization methods. It was shown the negative influence of toxic waste on the man organism and natural environment. The development necessity of new environmentally clean method of explosives treatment has been substantiated. The process of trinitrotoluene and hexogen destruction has been studied, and two mathematical models were developed on this base. The first one is the analytical dependence of process terms on the primary explosives concentration and physical and chemical parameters of waste. The second one is the analytical dependence of process terms on the trinitrotoluene and hexogen concentration and thermo-chemical parameters of the medium (temperature and filtering medium humidity). Theoretical conclusions these mathematical dependences-based were used for the development of universal ecologically safe method for the ammunitions treatment waste utilization and the experimental laboratory unit origination intended for theoretical data verification. Experiments on the waste utilization contained trinitrotoluene and hexogen have been carried out on the Rubezhnoje government chemical factory "Sorja" and state enterprise of scientific-and industrial integration - the Pavlograd chemical factory. There was a good convergence of experimental results with theoretical calculations: all divergences were in the confidence intervals calculated with reliability 0,95 according to Student's test. Areas for utilization of trinitrotoluene- and- hexogen-contained matters were developed, offered and introduced on above-mentioned enterprises. Keywords: toxic waste, trinitrotoluene, hexogen, destruction, vermiculture, mechanism, mathematical model.
