Biological degradation of 2,4,6
trinitrotoluene. Microbiol Mol.
With conventional, non-nuclear explosives, such as
trinitrotoluene (TNT), the energy released is chemical.
In order to make microcantilevers more sensitive to the explosive
trinitrotoluene (TNT), research groups led by Denis Spitzer at the French-German Research Institute of Saint Louis and Valerie Keller at the Laboratoire des Materiaux, Surfaces et Procedes pour la Catalyse in Strasbourg have taken inspiration from the highly sensitive sense organ of some types of moths.
Table 1: Substances that can cause Methemoglobinemia (4) Inorganic Agents Nitrates, fertilizers, chlorates, copper sulfates --fungicides Organic Agents Amyl Nitrate, Isobutyl Nitrite, Sodium Nitrite, Nitroglycerin, Nitroprusside, Nitric Oxide, Nitrogen Dioxide,
Trinitrotoluene, Combustion products Drugs Local Anesthetics: Benzocaine, Lidocaine, Prilocaine Pyridium, Anti-malarials --Primaquine, Chloroquine, Rasburicase, Cyclophosphamide, Ifosfamide, flutamide, Acetaminophen, Acetanilid, Phenacetic, celecoxib, Zopiclone, Methlene Blue (high doses in G6PD-Deficient patients) Antibiotics: Sulfonamides, Nitrofurantoins, P-aminosalicylic acid, Dapsone Industrial/Household Agents Aniline Dyes, Nitrobenzene, naphthalene (moth balls), aminophenol, nitroethane (nail polish remover)
The pairs ([x.sub.1j],[x.sub.2j]) were used to calculate the mass of
trinitrotoluene (TNT) which could cause an explosion with an energy equivalent to the energy of BLEVE (Table 1, Col.
Le 20 juillet, le ministre avait annonce que l'explosif utilise --trois kilogrammes de trolite (ou tolite)-- etait un explosif a usage militaire fabrique avec du
trinitrotoluene (TNT) mais aussi frequemment utilise par differents mouvements.
Lead, brass and other metals from ammunition along with all the constituents of the propellants, including
trinitrotoluene, picric acid, diphenylamine, nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, potassium nitrate, barium nitrate, tetracene, diazodintrophenol, phosphorus, peroxides, thiocarbamide, potassium chlorate, vinyl fluoride, vinyl chloride, sodium fluoride and sodium sulfate.
In January 2009, we had hailed them as the explosive young art duo that had broken on the country's horizon with the volatility of
trinitrotoluene -- a comparison that refers not just to the nature of their art but also to their acronym, drawing from their professional signature of Thukral and Tagra.
A possible material candidate currently under investigation includes nanoporous silicon that is reported to have more than doubled the energy output of
Trinitrotoluene. (52) Other examples include metastable intermolecular composites, sol gels, and functionalized carbon nanotubes.
TNT, or
trinitrotoluene, is one of the most common explosives.
In the published results, Thundat and his colleagues claim to be able to detect less than one billionth of a gram of such explosives as
trinitrotoluene, pentaerythritol tetranitrate, and cyclotrimethylenetrinitromine.
The current primary security screening method employs ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) to detect nitro-containing explosives such as
trinitrotoluene (TNT) and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) (Ewing et al.
