TL;DR: Ammonium and magnesium sulfites were tested for purifying crude TNT in comparison with the conventional (sellite) process using sodium sulfite as discussed by the authors, and the magnesium sulfite gave an acceptable product in better yield, of higher quality, and at lower estimated cost.
Abstract: Ammonium and magnesium sulfites were tested for purifying crude TNT in comparison with the conventional (“sellite”) process using sodium sulfite. The magnesium process easily gave an acceptable product in better yield, of higher quality, and at lower estimated cost. Magnesium values suitable for recycle were recovered from the waste water by calcination. The ammonium process gave an acceptable product only under specific reaction conditions, but the waste water can be recovered by mixing it with TNT process spent sulfuric acid, thereby eliminating a calcination step.

TL;DR: An improved procedure was developed for preparing 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (I-A) from TNT and one mole of formaldehyde.
Abstract: An improved procedure was developed for preparing 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (I-A) from TNT and one mole of formaldehyde. The trinitro derivatives of ethylbenzene, 1,3-xylene, and mesitylene react similarly. Two of the compounds can also react with more than one mole of formaldehyde. Five related compounds are unreactive, probably because of steric hindrance. Several derivatives were prepared.
