Develop Processes for Recovery of Explosive Scrap.
Abstract
Laboratory investigation has shown that tetryl may be recovered in satisfactory yield and purity from mixtures of tetryl and barium stearate or magnesium stearate by extracting the tetryl with acetone and subsequently precipitating it with water. Wide variation in the quantity of acetone used and the temperature at which the separation may be conducted is possible with no change in the yield of purity of the recovered tetryl. The results indicated that tetryl may be recovered from tetryl-metal stearate scrap in the same manner as is used for the recovery of tetryl from tetryl-graphite scrap. This process involves continuous extraction with acetone, with water precipitation to recover the tetryl.
