Abstract: Insensitive munitions compounds (IMCs), such as 2,4‐dinitroanisole (DNAN) and 3‐nitro‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐one (NTO), are replacing conventional explosives in munitions formulations. Manufacture and use of IMCs generate waste streams in manufacturing plants and load/assemble/pack facilities. There is a… read more here.

Abstract: Insensitive munitions compounds, such as 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), are replacing conventional explosives. DNAN is anaerobically reduced to 2,4-diaminoanisole (DAAN), a toxic aromatic amine. However, the removal of DAAN under different redox conditions is yet to be… read more here.
