A Laboratory Study of an Extraction Synthesis Technique for the Elimination of Pollutants from Mahon Fog Filter Waters at TNT Plants.

Abstract

By a simple extraction technique, using a volume ratio of approximately 1 toluene to 150 Mahon water, essentially all of the nitrotoluene impurities can be removed from the Mahon water presently polluting streams in the vicinity of TNT manufacturing plants. Military grade TNT can be prepared from these toluuene extracts which contain up to 6.4% nitrotoluenes. This process, however, cannot be used to eliminate the nitrotoluenes present in TNT waters.
