What's inside the dry fuel tablets
... it as a salt, and then freebase it if you couldn't use the salt directly such as when using HDN in RDX synthesis.

First RDX synthesis and questions
... cid for part of the nitration reduces the amount of WFNA you need.

Really my main reason to make RDX was to make some oxygen-balanced mixtures with ETN and to explore the process, so I'm not super ...

HDN K method success
... HDN is obviously much more controllable with less than half heat of reaction. I run all comparative RDX batches at around .142 mol for hexamine or HDN so they can be easily compared.

This K method ...

hexamine Dinitrate
... allow it to cool for a while before restarting the addition later? I did sorta do that with my Keto-RDX synth, but it still resulted in a runaway at the very end.

I was informed that keeping the ac ...

Chemistry behind RDX
... quality WFNA (only a little yellow, with no red) and I decided to use it to finally make some good RDX after waiting a long time for this. I decided I wanted to use it all up, so I used 93g of HDN pr ...

NIHT/NHHT Synth Suxess!
... ying to get a nitrate from NH4NO3 boiling.

Made a big batch of HDN for a control comparison with RDX, but
I thought HDN decomposed at 170 C. Apparently it exhumes nitric acid at lower temp becaus ...

Make plastic explosive out of ETN/PETN & EDGN
... a bit off-topic, but I have quite a bit of HDN (hexamine dinitrate) that I want to use to turn into RDX. I initially dried it by putting it in a closed box with lots of calcium chloride near it. I am ...

(not) RDX from hexamine and mixed acids?
... me solubility tests in different solvents. HDN is soluble in water, but not in alcohols or acetone. RDX is quite soluble in acetone, but not in water or alcohol.

Synthesis repeated with a much larger scale plus (some) characterisations

PETN and RDX doubts

Oh thank you. Can you cite a way of synthesising RDX from HDN. [/rquote]
You do it the same way as with hexamine and RFNA, but substitute HDN for he ...

RDX synthesis. Safe ir not?
I made RDX (successfully) twice. I used yellow fuming acid, not white. No problem with it. HDN is better th ...
