    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite

    A thermite mixture using iron(III) oxide. Thermite (/ ˈ θ ɜːr m aɪ t /) [1] is a pyrotechnic composition of metal powder and metal oxide. When ignited by heat or chemical reaction, thermite undergoes an exothermic reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction. Most varieties are not explosive, but can create brief bursts of heat and high ...

    Perchlorates and chlorates play this role together with their main use as oxidizers. Chlorine donors are often used also in smoke compositions, e.g. hexachloroethane together with zinc oxide to produce smoke based on zinc chloride. Catalysts. Propellant formulas often require a catalyst to burn faster and more stably.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_compounds

    Zinc compounds are chemical compounds containing the element zinc which is a member of the group 12 of the periodic table. The oxidation state of zinc in most compounds is the group oxidation state of +2. Zinc may be classified as a post-transition main group element with zinc(II). Zinc compounds are noteworthy for their nondescript appearance ...

  8. Dimethylzinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethylzinc

    Dimethylzinc fire must be extinguished with dry sand. The fire reacts violently or explosively with water, generating very flammable methane gas which can explode in air upon catching fire, and lung-irritating smoke of zinc oxide. Dimethylzinc fire reacts violently or explosively with methanol, ethanol and 2,2-dichloropropane.

  9. Zinc–air battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc–air_battery

    The term zinc–air fuel cell usually refers to a zinc–air battery in which zinc metal is added and zinc oxide is removed continuously. Zinc electrolyte paste or pellets are pushed into a chamber, and waste zinc oxide is pumped into a waste tank or bladder inside the fuel tank. Fresh zinc paste or pellets are taken from the fuel tank. The ...
