Pink water and red water are two distinct types of wastewater related to trinitrotoluene. [36] Pink water is produced from equipment washing processes after munitions filling or demilitarization operations, [ 37 ] [ 38 ] and as such is generally saturated with the maximum amount of TNT that will dissolve in water (about 150 parts per million ...
Nitration of toluene gives mono-, di-, and trinitrotoluene, all of which are widely used. Dinitrotoluene is the precursor to toluene diisocyanate, a precursor to polyurethane foam. Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is an explosive. Complete hydrogenation of toluene gives methylcyclohexane. The reaction requires a high pressure of hydrogen and a catalyst.
Nitramex has much the same formula as nitramon but with the addition of trinitrotoluene (TNT). It has higher density and explosive strength than Nitramon. Nitramex was developed for blasting hard rock. [2] This explosive was used in the removal of Ripple Rock. Large quantities of Nitramex 2H (over a thousand tonnes) were packed into tunnels.
Chlorates (also serving as chlorine donors, incompatible with ammonium salts because of forming unstable explosive ammonium chlorate, incompatible with sulfur and other acidic chemicals because of production of spontaneously igniting chlorine dioxide; very dangerous with phosphorus; should not be combined with hydrocarbon fuels/binders, e.g ...
A precursor to 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), DNP has also been used to make photographic developers and explosives. [16] [17] DNP is classified as an explosive in the United Kingdom [18] and the United States. [19]
Eight years ago, two US Marines from very different walks of life met for the first time when they were put on guard duty at 7:30 in the morning.
Polymer-bonded explosives, also known as Plastic-bonded explosives or simply PBX, are a relatively solid and inflexible explosive form containing a powdered explosive material and a polymer (plastic) binder. These are usually carefully mixed, often with a very thin coating of the polymer onto the powder grains of the explosive material, and ...
But that same phenomenon can also sometimes make skies look red or orange. Here's a breakdown of how and why it all happens. But the science behind a blue sky isn't that easy.
