Dinitrotoluene Production Cost Report

Dinitrotoluene (DNT) (C7H6N2O4) is an intermediate that is produced by incorporating toluene and nitric acid. It is classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon. The compound might occur as an environmental contaminant in soil, surface water, and groundwater. 

At room temperature, it looks like a pale yellow to orange crystalline solid that is highly explosive. Its molar mass is 182.134 g/mol, and its density is 1.32g/cm3. It has a melting point of 67-70°C.  It decomposes at 250°C and reacts with oxidizing agents, caustics, nitric acid, reducing materials and metals such as zinc, or it has an oily consistency and is not soluble in water (denser than water). The chemical has a solubility of 270 mg/L at 22 °C in water. Upon combustion, it leads to the production of toxic oxides of nitrogen and is toxic if absorbed by skin, ingested or inhaled.

The primary application of Dinitrotoluene (DNT) includes the production of commercial and military explosives, which are used as gelatinizing and waterproofing agents. It finds use as an intermediate in dye processes and in smokeless gunpowders. It is also used as an intermediate used in the manufacturing of polyurethanes.

Also, A majority of DNT is employed to produce Toluene diisocyanate, which has further application in the production of flexible polyurethane foams. It has typical usage as a plasticizer, deterrent coating, and burn rate modifier in propellants (such as smokeless gunpowders). It is commonly used along with dibutyl phthalate owing to its carcinogenic and toxic nature.
