Reduction of Acidic and Toxic Waste Streams in Explosives Manufacturing Using Electrochemical Nitration

Abstract

The technical objectives of this project are listed below: Task 1: Develop and Optimize Electrochemical Nitration in Batch -Explore C-nitration under aprotic and aqueous conditions (Toluene to DNT, Anisole to DNAN) (Nalas) -Explore O-nitration using understanding from C-nitration (alcohols to nitrate esters: nitroglycerine, BTTN) (Nalas). Task 2: Apply Optimized Batch Conditions to Flow Reactor -Conduct reaction modelling for flow parameters (Nalas) -Proof of concept demonstration in flow (Nalas) -Preliminary sustainability and environmental impact assessment (Yale).
