Hexamine Recovery at Holston Army Ammunition Plant.

Abstract

The chemical hexamine, from the Ammonia Recovery Area of Holston Army Ammunition Plant, is presently being released into the Holston River. This study provides a means to recover the hexamine in a concentrated stream anywhere between fifteen and thirty weight percent. In this way, contaminant and hydraulic loads are reduced before entering the proposed treatment facilities. A computer simulation was used to design and prove the feasibility of the resulting two distillation columns. Several cost savings should result from these calculations. (Author)
