National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Pilot-Scale Electrochemical Synthesis of Potassium 2,2-Dinitroethanate.

ADA551789

Publication Date	2011
Personal Author	Straessler, N.; Paraskos, A.; Shultz, S.; Hawkins, M.; Cramer, M.
Page Count	54
Abstract	The purpose of this research is to develop environmentally sound electrochemical methods for the production of DoD materials. More particularly, this particular program will focus on the development and scale-up of electrochemical methods for the synthesis of potassium 2,2-dinitroethanate (KDNE) from nitroethane (NE). KDNE is a key ingredient in the production of 2,2- dinitropropanol (DNPOH), which is in turn an intermediate in the synthesis of several important DoD energetic materials. The production of DoD-related polynitroalkanes via electrochemical routes promises to drastically reduce the waste streams associated with the classical chemical production processes, thereby enabling the production of such energetic ingredients in a more efficient and environmentally-responsible fashion. This is consistent with the SERDP goal of reducing the environmental impact of DoD manufacturing requirements. The research described herein builds upon preliminary bench-scale results obtained at Idaho National Labs (INL) under the previous SERDP-funded Phase I program.
