Production of the ammonium salt of 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazole by solvent extraction

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6586650

The ammonium salt of 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazole has utility as a chemical explosive. In accordance with the present invention, it may readily be produced by solvent extraction using high molecular weight, water-insoluble amines followed by amination with anhydrous ammonia gas. The aqueous reaction mixture produced in the synthesis of the parent compound, 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4triazole, is quite suitable--and indeed is preferred--for use as the feed material in the process of the invention.
