- Probably the most important explosive compond in use today is TNT
- (trinitrotoluene). This and other very similar types of high explosives are
- all used by the military, because of their fantastic power- about 2.25
- millions pounds per square inch, and there great stability. TNT also has
- the great advantage of being ableto be melted at 82 degrees F., so that it
- can be poured into shells, mortars, or any other projectiles. Military TNT
- comes in containers which resemble dryu cell batteries, and are usually
- ingnited by an electrical charge, coupled with an electical blasting cap,
- although there are other methods.
-
- Preparation of TNT
-
- 1. Take two beakers. In the first prepare a solution of 76 percent sulfuric
- acid, 23 percent nitric acid and 1 percent water. In the other beaker,
- prepare another solution of 57 percent nitric acid and 43 percent sulfuric
- acid (percentages are on a weight ratio rather than volume).
-
- 2. Ten grams of the first solutions are poured into an empty beaker and
- placed in an ice bath.
-
- 3. Add ten grams of toluene, and stir for several minutes.
-
- 4. remove this beaker from the ice bath and gently heat until it reaches
- 50 degrees C. The solution is stirred constantly while being heated.
-
- 5. Fifty additional grams of the acid, from the first beaker, are added and
- the temperature is held for the next ten minutes, and an oily liquid will
- begin to form on the top of the acid.
-
- 6. After 10 or 12 minutes, the acid solution is returned to the ice bath,
- and cooled to 45 begrees C> when reaching this temperature, the oily liquid
- will sink and collect at the bottom of the beaker. At this point, the
- remaining acid solution should be drawn off, by using a syringe.
-
- 7. Fifty more grams of the first acid solution are added to the oily liquid
- while the temperature is SLOWLY being raised to 83 degrees C. After this
- temperature is reached, it is maintaind for a full half hour.
-
- 8. At the end of this period, he solution is allowed to cool to
- 60 degrees C>, and is held at this temperature for another full half hour.
- After this, the acid is again drawn off, leaving once more only the oily
- liquid at the bottem.
-
- 9. Thirty grams of sulfuric acid are added, while the oily liquid is gently
- heated to 80 degrees C. All temperature increases must be accoumplished
- slowly and gently.
-
- 10.Once the desired temperature is reached, 30 grams of the second acid
- solution are added, and the temperature is raised from 80 degrees C>
- to 104 degrees C., and is held for three hours.
-
- 11.After this three hour period, the mixture is lowered to 100 degrees C.
- and held there for a half hour.
-
- 12.After this half hour, the oil is removed form the acid and washed with
- boiling water.
-
- 13.After the washing with boiling water, while being stired constantly, the
- TNT will begin to solidify.
-
- 14.When the solidification has started, cold water is added to the beaker,
- so that the TNT will form into pellets. Once this is done, you have a
- good quality TNT.
-
- NOTE: the temperatures used in the preparation of TNT are EXACT,
- and must be used as such. DO NOT estimate or use aproximations.
- Buy a good centigrade thermometer and be sure it is calibrated.
- This mixture is not forgiving to screw-ups!
