APPLICATION OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS, SYNTHESIS AND PURIFICATION METHODSIN THE PROCESS OF UTILIZATION OF EXPIRED TNT

In the modern world, the scale of the use of explosives and explosion processes is immeasurable. Based on the current realities in Georgia, the study of the processes of utilization and recycling of expired TNT and other explosive substances released from ammunition is of great importance. The issue is doubly urgent, as these substances represent the greatest danger to the environment. Burning or destroying them is tantamount to an ecological disaster. For the same reason, keeping them for a long time is also dangerous. Instead, utilization will raise the prospect of recycling them into industrial explosives, which we consider the best way to solve the problem. There are several key processes to be carried out for the utilization of TNT: chemical analysis of TNT, its purification by crystallization, synthesis of CT compounds, inclusion of the synthesis process in the analysis. The article discusses a brief overview of the above processes, brings the results of our experiments in this direction, as well as brief conclusions.
