METHOD OF DISPERSING TRINITROTOLUENE Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC C07C201/16 C07C205/06 

FIELD: blasting operations.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of dispersing TNT used as a component of various explosive compounds and powders. Proposed method of dispersing trinitrotoluene is implemented by its fusion, mechanical emulsification in water with a surfactant, cooling, separation by filtration from the medium and drying till the required degree of humidity. Method is characterized by that emulsification of the trinitrotoluene melt is carried out at the weight ratio with the medium of 1:1, the surfactant added to the latter is 0.3-1.0 % of sulphite waste liquor and the produced emulsion is cooled down to 50-60 °C by diluting with water with the temperature of 12-20 °C.

EFFECT: method simplifies the process and ensures obtaining a product with anti-caking grains sized 500-5 µm.
