Definitions

  • potassium dinitrophenylazide may' be prepared by dissolving. 100 grams for diazodinitrophenol in-1200 cc. of acetone. Tothis solution I then add a solution consisting of 30 grams of potassium azide dissolved in 300- cc. of water.
  • the heat of the solution should be maintained below 50C;
  • the addition of the potassium azide solution causes a reaction resulting in the for- 'mation of potassium dinitrophenylazide.
  • the potassium dinitrophenylazide is precipitated from the, solution whichmay be cooled and filtered to obtain the potassium dinitrophenylazide.
  • dinitrophenylazide salts of bariumfstrontium and sodium may be prepared in the same way substituting the corresponding azide for potassium azide in the above procedure'
  • a-center fire priming 1 mixture employing potassium dinitrophenylazide I may employ;
  • Thesuperiority of the 15 alkali and alkaline earthsaltsv of dinitrophenylazide over the heavy metal salts of dinitrophenylazide in'priming mixtures I v is contrary to the usual behavior of priming mix- 20 alkaline earth salts are soluble in water and are hygroscopic, They. are therefore not useful for the preparation of priming mixtures which are loaded into cartridges and which.must be capable 0t withstanding all sorts of weather conditions without decomposition.
  • Potassium dinitrophenylazide is admirably suited for use in priming mix tures. It is relatively insoluble in water, has a higher ignition temperature than leaddinitro- 35 phenylazide and is thereforemore stable. As a v I further advantage it produces amolten residue upon decomposition and it has been found that primingmixture components which produce a molten mass'result in better ignition oi the pro- 40 pellent powder.
