Abstract

AbstractThe behaviour of ethylene glycol dinitrate (nitroglycol) and nitroglycerin in moderately concentrated aqueous sulphuric acid, as models of “spent acids”, has been studied. The nitrate esters initial reaction is the simple hydrolysis to yield the alcohols which are eventually oxidized by nitric acid. This reaction, however, is unmeasurably slow in the absence of nitrous acid.
