Looking for material by Urbanski

[ZephyrusBlue]

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can find the following: Chemistry and Technology of Explosives vol 1,2,3 & 4 by Urbanski, or more specifically, any texts of Urbanski that deal with the nitration of sulphuric acid for the production of nitric acid?

Thanks

Nitration of sulfuric acid? Don't you mean production of nitric acid by a nitrate and sulfuric acid? Nitration of Sulfuric acid wil lead into this, doesn't it? But that's quite impossible. A reaction with Nitric and Sulfuric acid will give HNO3 + 2 H2SO4 <==> NO2+ = H3O+ + 2 HSO4-

Nitrated Sulfuric acid:
......... O
......... ||
O2NO-S-ONO2
......... ||
......... O

(sorry, spaces don't work, so I have to use dots.)

Because by far the most of all the nitrations is a substitution of the H+ particle, substituted for a NO2+ particle. In anorganic "nitrations" is just the anion substituted for a nitrate anion, like CuCl2 to Cu(NO3)2. You can say the whole OH- group is substituted, because H3O+ + OH- will form 2 H2O. But what happens with the Nitronium ion then?

However, search and you shall find my friend. I don't have it on this computer, so I can't post it.
