Process Scale-up for Mercuric-5-Nitrotetrazole

Abstract

Scale-up studies were conducted on an improved process for the synthesis of mercuric-5-nitrotetrazole, and a procedure was established for an almost entirely remotely controlled operation. The procedure was demonstrated by the preparation of six one-pound batches and a batch was prepared using well water in the process rather than distilled water so that a comparison could be made of product purity. Process procedures and equipment were suggested for larger scaled production.
