The Determination of Hexahydro-1, 3, 5,-Trinitro-S-Triazine (RDX) and Octahydro-1, 3, 5, 7-Tetranitro-S-Tetrazocine (HMX) by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

A method is described, using high performance liquid chromatography, to determine quantitatively hexahydro-1, 3, 5-trinitro-s-triazine (RDX) and octahydro-1, 3, 5, 7-tetranitro-s-tetrazocine (HMX) in a mixture and as propellant ingredients. Separations are achieved on a Micro Pak-CN column, 250- mm long x 2.1-mm internal diameter, using a mobile phase of 30-percent methylene chloride/20-percent acetonitrile/50-percent hexane. Under these conditions, the two compounds are separated in approximately ten minutes.
