Wabash - RDX Manufacture: A Laboratory Examination of the Ammonium Nitrate Process
Abstract
The optimized 'AN' (ammonium nitrate) process for preparing RDX, developed some years ago at Wabash River Ordnance Works on a laboratory level, has been checked and verified. Items considered included yield and quality of RDX, recovery and recycle of excess ammonium nitrate, recovery of excess nitric acid, and its stabilization by controlled fume-off. The process is considered ready for study on a large scale.
