The Preparation and Properties of Diethylene Glycol Dinitrate. Part 3: Batch Plant Manufacture

Abstract

The objective of the investigation was to examine the properties of diethylene glycol dinitrate, and to develop a method for its manufacture from diethylene glycol. The scope of the investigation: the requirements of commercial diethylene glycol for nitration to the dinitrate for Service use have been investigated. The optimum conditions for the nitration, and for the stabilization of diethylene glycol dinitrate have been determined by laboratory and semi-technical scale investigations, and batch and continuous pilot plants for these operations have been developed.
