Preparation, Characterization, and Adsorption Properties of Amino-Alky Cellulose for 2, 4, 6-Trinitrotoluene

The influence of micellar and Ca(OH)2 water system on the rates of alkaline hydrolysis of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) was studied and evaluated quantitatively via capillary gas chromatography (CGC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The critical micelle concentrations and rate constants of reactions in the micellar phase were determined in micellar solutions of cationic, anionic or nonionic systems. An increase in the rates of alkaline hydrolysis of TNT was observed. Alkaline hydrolysis of TNT using mixture of nonionic surfactant micelles and anionic surfactant showed higher degradation than that with a cationic surfactant.

Alkaline Hydrolysis of TNT in Micellar System

The kinetics of the reaction of di- and triethylamine with 1,8-dimethyl-2,4,5-trinitronaphthalene (245 TND) have been studied in dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylsulfoxide-methanol solvent systems and comparison made with data for corresponding reactions involving 1,5-dimethyl-2,4,8-trinitronaphthalene (248 TND). Analysis of the results shows that the formation of a benzyl-type anion is more facile with 245 TND than with 248 TND. Thus, the former compound has the greater potential for base-induced coupling to give thermally stable explosive material.
