Hi,

RDX from R-salt

materials
• 150ml beaker
• 500ml beaker
• an ice bath
• Thermometer

chemicals
• 10g C.T.M.T.N.A. (R-salt)
• 45g of ammonium nitrate
• 15g sulfuric acid
• 300ml water

production
1) The ammonium nitrate is placed in a 150ml beaker, then you are slowly added under stirring, the sulfuric acid.

2) Using ice bath, the mixture was cooled to 5C.

3) After everything was added during the reaction is stirred for another 30 minutes at 15-20C, then flips the mixture with 300ml cold water 500ml Becher.Die the crystals formed are, are crude RDX and should be cleaned by the usual method.



Is this true?????
This means we can manufacture RDX without highly concentrated nitric acid !!

Bye
fuming nitric :D

How to make Sodium Nitrite ?



Thanx >>>

The beauty of direct nitrolysis is that all that's needed is strong HNO<sub>3</sub> and the amine . . .
Preparing the R-salt is just extra shit that a simple distillation rig neatly gets around!

Is that proposed method reliable ? Probably not.
