Rresearch of expired poly nitroaromatic explosives UTILIZATION-RECYCLING METHODOLOGYUTILIZATION-METHODOLOGY

Abstract

The modern world is difficult to imagine without explosives. These high-energy chemical compounds are characterized by an exclusive property that we call explosion. Explosion, figuratively - this is a fast “time-concentrated” energy that can perform work.
Currently, thousands of explosives are synthesized, however, after the discovery of gunpowder, the search and perfection of new explosives did not stop for a minute, because, otherwise, it would not be possible to reduce the cost of explosives with an increase in explosive ability, It would be difficult to find such explosives, which would be safe for practical use, storage, transportation, there were no strong explosives, hexogen, octogen, hexanitrobenzene...
In general, the purpose of our work is to synthesize picric acid and TNT and create new explosives based on them. Nowdays, more than two dozen new explosives have been synthesized.
Along with the difficulties in synthesizing of new explosives, the existence of expired explosives is no less a problem. This is due to several circumstances:
53
1.
The production of explosives is associated with large finances, and destroying it, even an expired option, is not desirable.
2.
Long-term storage of explosives is dangerous.
3.
Expired explosive can neither burn or explode, due to the threat of a sharp deterioration in the ecological equilibrium of the environment.
The way to solve the mentioned problem is through the utilization and recycling of expired explosives, which will undoubtedly have a certain economic effect.
As part of the search for opportunities to solve the problem, we transform picric acid and TNT into new chemical structures that show better explosive properties. First, we mean the synthesis of CT compounds.
The article deals with expired poly nitroaromatic explosives (TNT, picric acid...) to develop a utilization - recycling methodology using the CT compound synthesis process.
