A total of six pilot-scale batches of picryl chloride were made. These included three 5-kg batches and three 10-kg batches. The three 5-kg batches were made to investigate the problems encountered with actual production and materials handling. The three 10-kg batches were made to study the process parameters and the yield problems originally encountered with the 5-kg batches. The yields on the 5-kg batches ranged from 40 to 60% of approximately 50% purity. The yields on the 10-kg batches were 80, 86 and 91% in chronological order. The purities were 95, 99+ and 99+% respectively.
