Preparation Of Insensitive Rdx From Crude Rdx Using An Antisolvent Phase Separation Process
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the separation of two of the most widely used explosive compounds, RDX (1,3,5-Trinitro-1,3, 5-triazacyclohexane) and HMX (1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7tetraazacyclooctane). A simple antisolvent phase separation process to obtain >99% pure RDX from an explosive mixture consisting of RDX (≈90%) and HMX (≈10%) was developed. The process does not require modifications to the existing RDX manufacturing process, and only minimal amounts of new waste products and solvents are generated as there is no chemical reaction or complexation involved in this new process.

Objective(S): In this work, paclitaxel (PX), a promising anticancer drug, was loaded in the basil seed mucilage (BSM) aerogels by implementation of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) technology. Then, the effects of operating conditions were studied on the PX mean particle size (MPS), particle size distribution (PSD) and drug loading efficiency (DLE). <stron...
متن کاملType I nitroreductases in soil enterobacteria reduce TNT (2,4,6,-trinitrotoluene) and RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine).
Many enteric bacteria express a type I oxygen-insensitive nitroreductase, which reduces nitro groups on many different nitroaromatic compounds under aerobic conditions. Enzymatic reduction of nitramines was also documented in enteric bacteria under anaerobic conditions. This study indicates that nitramine reduction in enteric bacteria is carried out by the type I, or oxygen-insensitive nitrored...

The internal defects and shape of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) crystal are critical parameters for the preparation of reduced sensitivity RDX (RS-RDX). In the current study, RDX was re-crystallized and spheroidized to form the high-quality RDX that was further characterized by purity, apparent density, size distribution, specific surface area, impact sensitivity, and shock sensitivity. T...
