Trotyl (TNT). Usually produced in flake form having a solidification pt of 80.2—80.6° for the military grade. Industrial grade TNT melts at 76—78°, and a lower grade called liq TNT or Tri-Oil is also manufd in Sweden... [Pg.488]

Trinitrotoluol or Trotyl (TNT). TNT was manufd during WWII by a two-stage process, first to mononitrotoluene and then to TNT. The crude product was called Rohtri, mp 76— 78° and the purified TNT was called Reintri, mp 80—81°. There were several methods used to purify TNT, such as by Na sulfite soln or by re-crystn from nitric acid, in the opinion of Dr A. Stettbacher, the best method (but more expensive) was to recryst it from hot acet contg 8% benz. This method was used at the Schweiz-erische Sprengstoff-Fabrifc AG, Dottikon, and in Holland, for the purification of TNT used as a bursting charge in HE projectiles... [Pg.492]

Nitration plays an important part in the preparation of explosives. The most common military and commercial explosives, like 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene or trotyl (TNT), cyclotrimethylene trinitramine or hexogen (RDX), glycerol trinitrate or nitroglycerine (NG), pen-taerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), cellulose nitrate or nitrocellulosa (NC) and many others are produced by nitration. Nitrating reactions are also employed to produce many commercially important non-explosive organic chemicals and intermediates. [Pg.86]
