Bisulfide, carbon

Carbon disulfide [75-15-0] (carbon bisulfide, dithiocarbonic anhydride), CS2, is a toxic, dense liquid of high volatiUty and fiammabiUty. It is an important industrial chemical and its properties are well estabUshed. Low concentrations of carbon disulfide naturally discharge into the atmosphere from certain soils, and carbon disulfide has been detected in mustard oil, volcanic gases, and cmde petroleum. Carbon disulfide is an unintentional by-product of many combustion and high temperature industrial processes where sulfur compounds are present.

Myrite. An expl contg a mixt of nitrogen dioxide and carbon bisulfide. Its sensitivity to mechanical influences, brisance, rate of deton, and other expl characteristics were detd at PicArsn in 1940. In view of the fact that it is specially sensitive to rifle bullet impact, and has a rate of deton and brisance considerably lower than TNT, it was concluded that Myrite is not suitable for use as a military expl Ref C.J. Bain, Investigation of the Explosive Myrite , PATR 1030(1940)... 

Grain and foodstuffs are constantly attacked by weevils. Fumigation with carbon bisulfide, methyl bromide, and Chlorosol fumigant (a carbon tetrachloride-ethylene dibromide mixture) provides effective control where storage areas are built to handle these materials. Such storage equipment is limited, so there is need for an insecticide with low mammalian toxicity in order to achieve continuous protection by direct application.

Dr H. Sprengel, the inventor of vacuum pump, took out patents for a whole series of mining expls made by mixing together on the spot, just before the expl was required, an oxidizing substance with a combustible one. They were exploded by a fulminate detonator. As oxidizers he mentioned nitric acid and K chlorate and as combustibles carbon bisulfide, petroleum, Nitrobenzene, Nitronaphthalene and many other compds (Ref 11, p 43 Ref 12, p 7)... 

Metal-Oxygen Compounds. Trialkyltin alkoxides are remarkable for the variety of addition reactions they undergo with carbonyl and thiocarbonyl compounds. Bloodworth and Davies have reported reactions of tri-w-butyltin alkoxides with isocyanates, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, isothiocyanates, carbon bisulfide, chloral, and ketene. The reactions observed were as follows ... 

The reaction may be carried out equally well with a larger proportion of solvent, but if less than the amount indicated be taken, difficulty may arise in stirring. Carbon bisulfide may be employed instead of carbon tetrachloride, but this solvent presents no essential advantages and it is necessary to use a larger volume for the same amount of anthracene. 

Other liquid combustibles, such as petroleum, benzene, toluene, etc, were proposed, but Turpin preferred carbon bisulfide. Pan clastic es were successfully used in Belgium as military demolition explosives and in Germany they were tried for loading projectiles. For this two glass containers with thin walls were used. One was filled with NOa and die other with CO2. They were placed inside the projectile, one on top of the other, and in ordet to prevent premature breakage, several rubber cubes were inserted between the walls of projectiles and glass containers.
