Manufacture of Explosives

Oscar Guttmann

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The manufacture of gun-cotton and of nearly all nitro-com pounds consists essentially in immersing the prime material (cotton, glycerin, and similar materials) in a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids and allowing the nitric acid to act upon it for a more or less prolonged time. The explosive body thus formed is then separated from the spent acid, and washed, with the addition of alkalies as a rule, until it has lost all traces of acidity.
