@X083@X05.@X0814@X03 PICRATES
@X08 Although the procedure for the production of picric acid@X05,@X08 or
trinitrophenol has not yet been given@X05,@X08 its salts are described first@X05,@X08 since they
are extremely sensitive@X05,@X08 and detonate on impact@X05.@X08 By mixing picric acid with
metal hydroxides@X05,@X08 such as sodium or potassium hydroxide@X05,@X08 and evaporating the
water@X05,@X08 metal picrates can be formed@X05.@X08 Simply obtain picric acid@X05,@X08 or produce it@X05,@X08
and mix it with a solution of @X05(@X08preferably@X05)@X08 potassium hydroxide@X05,@X08 of a mid range
molarity@X05.@X08 @X05(@X08about 6@X05-@X089 M@X05)@X08 This material@X05,@X08 potassium picrate@X05,@X08 is impact@X05-@X08sensitive@X05,@X08
and can be used as an initiator for any type of high explosive@X05.@X08
