摘要:
The reactions to form RDX and HMX in Bachmann-type mixtures are comparable in respect of optimum nitric acid concentrations and in the fact that optimal amounts of acetic anhydride and ammonium nitrate are necessary for maximum yields of either explosive. The activation energies for formation of RDX and HMX were also found to be comparable, at 15 ± 1 kcal. per mole. However, withholding ammonium nitrate from the reaction mixture was found to have a more deleterious effect on RDX production than on HMX production. A mechanism is proposed which attempts in a general way to represent the relation between RDX and HMX production in the type of reaction mixtures used.
