A Study of Freezing and Vacuum Flashing to Recover Acetone from Acetone-Water-Energetic Mixtures.
Abstract
In this work thermodynamic data is obtained on acetone-water-energetic mixtures. Also, two processes, freezing and flashing, are evaluated for recovery of acetone from the mixtures. The specific energetic compounds used in this work are dinitrotoulene and trinitrobenzene. Current environmental legislation requires clean-up of contamination by energetic compounds at military industrial facilities. The energetic compounds (explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics) contaminate soils, buildings, and equipment. Probably the most significant contamination occurs in the lagoon sediment at some of these facilities. jg p.8
