RDX composition and process

摘要

An explosive composition can be produced by dissolving RDX in a volume of a first solvent to form a first solution, and adding a second solvent to the first solution. The second solvent is miscible with the first solvent, but RDX is soluble in the second solvent to an extent no greater than 1 g RDX/100 g of the second solvent. Precipitated RDX crystals can be recovered. The RDX crystals can have a crystal density of less than 1.80 g/cm³.
