Description
United States Patent 3,2$8,867 STABLE NITRGMETHANE CGMPOSITION Richard S. Egly, West Terre Haute, and Quentin R.
.leftries, Torre Hante, Ind, assignors to Commercial Solvents Corporation, New York, N.Y., a corporation of Maryland No Drawing. Filed Feb. 17, 1965, Ser. No. 433,519 Claims. (Cl. 260-644) confined in a heavy-walled vessel which Will Withstand the development of considerable internal pressure. An embargo is presently in existence on shipment of nitromethane in bulk containers by both the manufacturer and the Interstate Commerce Commission. The ordinary drum meeting ICC Specification 17E ruptures at low pressures and nitromethane is regularly shipped in this container with a layer of nitrogen in the head space to replace the air. This method of transportation, however, has resulted in financial hardship for the user and has in general restricted the use of nitromethane in many applications where it would be of considerable technical value.
It is an object of this invention to provide stable com ositions of nitromethane. It is another object of this invention to provide compositions of nitromethane having improved stability for bulk transportation. Another object is to provide a method of bulk transportation of nitromethane.
It has been discovered that a combination of nitromethane and a specific minimum amount of a stabilizing liquid selected from the group consisting of acetone, toluene, benzene, 1,2-butylene oxide, cyclohexanone, 1,4- dioxane, l-nitropropane, methanol Z-nitropropane, methylene chloride, methyl chloroform, and nitroethane are stable to extreme shock and provide a safe method for bulk transportation of nitromethane.
More particularly the liquid combinations of this invention have the following compositions:
Combinations containing at least the minimum volume of stabilizer are not detonated when confined in a heavywalled vessel and subjected to severe shock. A special test which will subsequently be described in detail has been devised to measure the degree of stability of chemicals which do not detonate in any of the tests previously used.

The combinations of this invention provide a variation of properties so that a particular combination usually can be used directly without separation into the components. However, if separation is desirable, means for so doing can be readily devised by those skilled in the art.
The common tests employed to determine Whether or not a substance should be placed in the explosive category do not yield useful information on non-explosives. Many substances will exhibit energy release when subjected to sources of high energy such as the shock wave of a detonated high explosive, heat, a combination of heat and shock at ambient pressure, a combination of heat and shock'at elevated pressure, or adiabatic compression.
The new test has been devised to measure the amount of energy released when a material which cannot be detonated is subjected to severe shock Into a solid cylinder of cold rolled steel having a diameter of 5 inches and a length of 6 inches, is drilled a hole 1 inch in diameter and 4 inches in depth having the same axis as the cylinder. The face of the cylinder is grooved by a single radial cut Ms inch wide and inch deep. In use, the opening of the hole is covered with a 5 lb. test weight cut from .a cylindrical steel rod having a diameter of approximately 2% inches. It length will be about 3 inches.
To conduct the test, the cylinder is placed on an unyielding support at the foot of a perpendicular measuring board 20 ft. high marked in 1 it. increments. A liquid sample size of 4 milliliters is delivered to a test tube 13 x 100 mm. and placed in the hole bored in the cylinder. A No. 8 electric dynamite cap is placed in the test tube with sample and the lead wires are placed in the groove cut in the face of the cylinder. The test weight is centered over the hole, the cap is fired, and the height to which the weight is flung by the energy released is observed visually. Five determinations are made for each test substance. Data are given in Table 1 showing the results obtained on a number of commercial materials.
TABLE 1 Chemical Quantity, ml. Height, ft.
Nitromcthane 4. O 48 Hydrogen peroxide, 4. 0 39 Hydrazine 4. 0 39 Ethylene oxide... 4. (l 10 1.3-butadiene 4. (J 4 4. O 5 Bntylene oxide 4. 0 5 Cyclohexanone 4. O 4 Dioxane 4. (l 5 l'nitropropane 4.

Hydrogen peroxide 90% and hydrazine released sufficient energy in this test to hurl the weight to a height of 39 feet yet they are shipped regularly in tank cars and tank trucks without special regulation. T-his basis of experience is the support for the definition of stabilized nitromethane as that combination which releases no more energy in the special test described than does 90% hydrogen peroxide or hydrazine. However, as an added safety measure for transportation purposes the rule has been adopted that stable nitromethane combinations safe for shipment in bulk are those that yield an average test height no greater than 13 feet when tested as described.
The practice of this invention is further illustrated by the following examples:
Example 1 Commercial grade toluene 21 g. and nitromethane 79 g. were mixed. A 4 ml. sample was tested according to the described method. The weight was flung to an average height of 13 feet in five trials and the combination was adjudged stable for bulk transportation.
Examples 2-12 In a manner similar to Example 1, other combinations of nitromethane and stabilizing amounts of a second component were tested. The weights were flung to an average height of no more than 13 feet and the combinations were adjudged safe for shipment.
