Explosion, Effects of the Physicol Structure and the State of Aggregation on the Detonating Capacity of Explosives. Liquid TNT detonates only if the diam of the specimen is above 32mm. TNT powder compressed to the sp gr of the liquid TNTj detonates at diams of 2.1mm or greater. Pieces of solid TNT are similar to liquid TNT- Maximum diams for liquid TNT and TNT powder are 2.3 and less than 2mm, respectively. Gas space between expl particles facilitates deton, presumably because hot gases spread the deton Ref A.Ya. Apin V.K. Bobolev, ZhFizKhim 20, 1367—70(1946) Engl abstract in CA 41, 3297(1947)...

In any case the handling of liquid TNT requires more safety measures than solid TNT, though the fact that detonation in molten TNT proceeds only with great difficulty reduces the danger. TNT becomes more sensitive when such solid substances as for example ammonium nitrate, are added to it (Vol. IV). Addition of sulphur also increases the sensitiveness to impact (T. Urbanski and Pillich [93]). [Pg.320]

The oily product has been used as an ingredient of cod mining explosives as so-called liquid TNT . This material also comprised the liquid mixture of nitro compounds forming the residue after distillation of alcohol (or any other solvent) used for crystallization of TNT. [Pg.378]

Coparisow further states that disposal may be made of the residue from the mother hquor—which residue consists of a complex mixture of various dinitrotoluenes and trinitrotoluenes— by nitrating this with a mixed acid containing only 15 per cent nitric acid. By this method, a liquid TNT is obtained, which has considerable power, and has the property of gelatinizing collodion cotton, the same as nitroglycerine does. This liquid product is used in the manufacture of gelatinized explosives. [Pg.41]
