Austin and Klimpel 1 11 have reviewed these three laws and their applicability, and Cutting(12) has described laboratory work to assess grindability using rod mill tests. 

The author expresses his sincere thanks to the following persons who have provided data and/or information for this chapter R.E. Hall for solid-state data G. Havner for confirming the bromine test D.D. Taylor for partition coefficients, UV, MS, and NMR data R. Conroe and S. Spruill for the svnthesis and B. Scott and P. Ritter for analytical data on 1-naphthylacetylethylenediamine, all at Alcon Laboratories Professor John Baker, Department of Medicinal Chemistry, University of Mississippi, Oxford, Mississippi for NMR data and interpretation and Professor Hugo Steinfink, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Texas, Austin, Texas for x-tay powder diffraction and crystallographic information. 

Bench-scale mercury testing was conducted at Radian International s Austin, Texas laboratory. The screening tests evaluated mercury breakthrough characteristics of ICDAC samples and Darco FGD carbon, a hgnite-based activated carbon manufactured by American Norit. 

C min (LA type RD 1333) [35] 357-384 C at a heating rate of 40 °C min [43]. The 5-s explosion temperature of LA is 340 °C [49]. LA has been found not to have changed after being stored for 4 years at 80 °C. The thermal stability threshold is, according to Danilov, 200 °C at which temperature it keeps its explosive properties for 6 h. It is therefore used in thermostable detonators TED-200 with maximum application temperature 200 °C [3]. We have tested various types of lead azides at our laboratory and found that standard industrial dextrinated LA (product of Austin Detonator) is surprisingly even more thermally stable than pure crystalline product. The decomposition of both types (pure and dextrinated) of LA under the same conditions is shown in Fig. 4.2.
