Manufacture guanidine nitrate

The most widely fised method for manufacturing guanidine nitrate was described in detail by Davis [60]. Its basic principle is heating dicyandiamide with two equivalents of ammonium nitrate at 160°C. Originally the mixture was fused... 

Reaction with ammonium salts gives biguanide salts which react further with the ammonium salt forming guanidine salts. Guanidine nitrate [506-93 ] is manufactured by this route (46). 

Ammon it 43C exploded in 19 44 on a loading line and its manufacture was dis continued. It was reported that mixtures of TNT with guanidine nitrate were unstable... 

A slightly different method of guanidine nitrate manufacture was introduced in German plants during World War II. It consists in the chemical combination of ammonium nitrate and cyanamide as defined by eqns. (12) and (13). 

Both reactions are carried out in the same reactor. A diagrammatic outline of the plant for guanidine nitrate manufacture is illustrated by Fig. 173 [61].
