The Determination of Tetryl and 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4- and 3,5- Dinitrotoluene Using High Performance Liquid Chromatography.

Abstract

This report summarizes work conducted under an extension of the title contract to examine the feasibility of applying High Performance Liquid Chromatographic (HPLC) techniques to the low level determination of tetryl and the six isomeric dinitrotoluenes (2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4-, and 3,5-DNT). A method suitable for the determination of tetryl in the presence of HMX, RDX and TNT is described. Also, a separation of the five of the six DNT isomers is described and evidence is presented which suggests that with proper control of column efficiency and selectivity a complete separation of all six of these isomers may be accomplished.
