Heat Resistant Explosives. XII. Quantitative Analysis of 1,3,5-Triamino- 2,4,6-Trinitrobenzene

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0332175 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A spectrophotometric assay method using concentrated sulfuric acid as the solvent is presented for 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene. When the purity is 90 or better there is no interference from any of the precursors. In addition to the assay method, a procedure is given for determining water soluble impurities. Qualitative identification of the precursors is afforded by a spectral determination in gamma-butyrolactone or dimethylformamide. The quality of 1,3,5triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene, prepared by amination in benzene and dioxane, is discussed.
