Abstract
AbstractIn this second part of our work on the sensitivity of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) the investigations focus on the manufacturing process. Literature about the explosive during production is very rare and optimization or changes in the process demand more in‐depth knowledge of the safety parameters. Therefore, the industrial process is imitated in a small‐scale laboratory reactor. Then impact and friction sensitivities of emergency drowned, spent acid wet and acid washed PETN are investigated. In advance, PETN samples were taken from the filter of the SSE production and measured in the same manner. It becomes clear at which point a sensitive material is expected in the process. The data will improve handling safety and plant design.
