Pilot scale synthesis of TATB

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7142041· OSTI ID:7142041

The processes developed by Mason and Hanger for the pilot scale production of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) are described. 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene (TCB) was nitrated to form 1,3,5-trichloro-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TCTNB) and then aminated to TATB. The effects of several variables, the process procedures and the equipment are discussed.
