TATB/Kel-F: PBX analysis. [RX-03-BB]
The analysis of RX-03-BB is complicated by the characteristics of triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB). Some of these characteristics are: TATB is insoluble in most organic solvents; solvents for the Kel-F are also solvents for the impurities in the TATB; the various particle sizes of the TATB and the TATB coated by the Kel-F are difficult to extract from the Kel-F. Three methods have been used to obtain the analysis. These are reported as the methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), the nitric acid and the sulfuric methods. The analytical methods evaluated for RX-03-BB are discussed and the advantages and disadvantages of each method are listed.
