Elimination of Redwater Formation from TNT Manufacture

Abstract: Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and R… Show more

“…This range of reaction time is considered too long for continuous processing due to the limitations related to the reactor volume and the minimum range of the flow rate of the pumps. In the method of TNT synthesis described by Millar et al, this step of nitration is performed in a batch mode due to the unsuitability of reagents and products in flow systems, namely acid mixtures are too viscous and there is the possibility of precipitation of flow solid product [ 7 ], (p. 13, [ 24 ]).…”

“…Technologists have worked on waste minimalization during the TNT synthesis, and some papers report the concern of the “red water” problem. Elimination of red water formation from TNT manufacture, and improvements of the regioselectivity in the nitration of toluene, have been published but efforts are still ongoing to address these shortcomings.…”
