Dialdehyde cellulose is made by treating cotton linters with an aqueous solution of paraperiodic acid and soium acetate. The difluoraminated derivatives are useful as explosives and rocket propellants; more energetic explosives may be made by esterification with nitric acid.HENRYK ZENFTMAN...
celluloid- highly flammable substance made from cellulose nitrate and camphor; used in e.g. motion-picture and X-ray film; its use has decreased with the development of nonflammable thermoplastics nitrate- any compound containing the nitrate group (such as a salt or ester of nitric acid) ...
For example, the fabric known as rayon and the transparent sheet of film called cellophane are made using a many-step process that involves an acid bath. In mixtures if nitric and sulfuric acids, cellulose can form what is called guncotton or cellulose nitrates that are used for explosives. ...
cellulose behaving as an alcohol, the highest esters indicating that it reacts as a trihydric alcohol of the formula n[C 6 H 7 0 2 (OH) 3 1. The nitrates result by the action of concentrated nitric acid, either alone or in the presence of sulphuric acid: the normal dinitrate represent...
Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents including bromine pentafluoride, sodium nitrate, fluorine, perchlorates, perchloric acid, sodium chlorate, magnesium perchlorate, F2, zinc permanganate, sodium nitrite, sodium nitrate, sodium peroxide. Nitration with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids produces ...
perchloric acid, sodium chlorate, magnesium perchlorate, F2, zinc permanganate, sodium nitrite, sodium nitrate, sodium peroxide. Nitration with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids produces Cellulose microcrystalline nitrates (celluloid pyroxylin, soluble pyroxyline, guncotton) which are flammable or ...
Esters of cellulose with interesting properties such as bioactivity and thermal and dissolution behavior can be obtained by esterification of cellulose with nitric acid in the presence of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, or acetic acid. Commercially important cellulose esters are cellulose acetate, cellulos...
The company produces, processes, and sells chemicals and derivative products, such as ammonia, nitric acid, caustic soda, acrylonitrile, styrene monomer, methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer, PMMA resin, high-compound fertilizers, and adipic acid; polymer products, such as Suntec polyethylene (PE), ...
:any of several esters of nitric acid formed by the action of nitric acid on cellulose (as paper, linen, or cotton) and used for making explosives, plastics, and varnishes called alsonitrocellulose guncotton pyroxylin More from Merriam-Webster oncellulose nitrate ...
Cellulose can be hydrolyzed into its constituent glucose units by microorganisms that occupy the digestive tract of termites and ruminants. By treating it withnitric acid(HNO3), cellulose can be modified in the laboratory to substitute all of the hydroxyl groups with nitrate groups (–ONO2). This...
