Abstract: Low explosive propellants were formulated by using Palm kernel shell and Malaina wood as plant biomass using the Ammonium nitrate, Biomass (Carbon), Sulphur, Starch and Gum Arabic as binders in ratio of 80:16:2:2 , 65:20:12:3 and 85:10:4:1 by mechanical means using mortar and pestle. The low explosives formulated were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Differential Scanning colorimeter (DSC).The results of the FTIR confirmed interaction between the individual components by showing the presence of C-O stretch, N-O stretch, N-H Stretch, O-H Stretch, N=C=S Stretch, within spectral ranges of 3908.1 cm-1 – 674.6 cm-1.SEM images indicated formation of low explosives with dimensions ranging from 58.3 μm – 4.75 μm, with morphological characteristics of white spheroidal substances, scraggy and crack at the surface. The DSC shows burning ability of the explosives tested covered distance that ranged from 588m – 521m which confirmed the explosive ability of the propellants formulated.
