Octahydro-1, 3, 5, 7-tetranitro 5-tetrazocine

Reed Canary Grass Phalaris arundinacea) was grown in liquid culture and exposed to RDX that was metabolized to the potentially toxic 4-nitro-2,4-diazabutanal (Just and Schnoor 2004). This metabolite is also produced from RDX by strains of Rhodococcus sp. and from the homologous octahydro-l,3,5,7-tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) by Phanerochaete chrysosporium.

These are common abbreviations for the following TNT 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene AN ammonium nitrate PETN pentaerythritol tetranitrate HMX octahydro-l,3,5,7,-tetranitro-l,3,4,5-tetrazocine RDX hexahydro-l,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine HMTD hexamethylene triperoxide diamine TATP triacetone triperoxide. 

Melting explosive octahydro-l,3,5.7-tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazocine) and i N-dimethylhydrazine. These compounds are sometimes present at quite high levels in soils and groundwater on military bases and production sites. Bioremediation is a promising new technology for treating sites contaminated with such compounds. 

The high explosive octahydro-l,3,5,7-tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX, Fig. 1) is the energetic material in a number of high performance military explosive and propellant formulations [3], HMX exhibits three crystal polymorphs at ambient pressure denoted J3- [4,5], a- [6], and <5-FlMX [7] and listed in terms of stability with increasing temperature. At temperature T 550 K the crystalline structure become unstable and HMX begins to melt. The liquid phase of HMX is very unstable and therefore no direct measurements of... 

Description of Applicable Wastes Relatively stable high explosives such as high-melting explosive (HMX, or octahydro-l,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine), 2,4,6-tetranitro-N-methylaniline (tetryl), or TNT can be reliably reclaimed and reused. Propellants such as nitrocellulose (NC), dinitrotoluene (DNT), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and nitroglycerine (NG) and oxidizers such as ammonium perchlorate (AP) are less stable and may require significant purification prior to reuse.
