how to make TNT



You would need conc H2SO4 as well.

DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU ARE NOT TRAINED!!!

Mix both H2SO4 and HNO3 together (about 3:1 ratio), and you will see a visible white NOx gas. (Heat will be produced.) Add in the toluene slowly, and you should get a yellowis/red oil floating on the surface. Let it stand and wait till an odor (either almondish or shoe polish kind of scent, different people might perceive it differently) appears. Warm the solution to about 80oC during this vigorous period. (Lots of brown NO2 gas will be released. TOXIC!!!)

Use an appropriate instrument to withdraw away the diluted acid below the MNT. Add another portion of 3:1 mix of acid to the MNT, and again warm to 80oC for about 2 hrs. There should be a formation of yellow oil or waxy yellow solid (DNT).

Again, remove the diluted acid below, and add in the acid mixture + heat to get TNT (nice yellow needles).

'Fish' those needles out or simple filtration or anyway you deem fit.

Note that the method described here might contain impurities of DNT, depending of the amount of acid used.
