Abstract
Blasting oil contained in the effluent from the production of explosives containing nitroglycerine is recovered by extracting with nitroaromatics which make part of the final explosive, the resulting extract being used completely in the explosive production. Residues of nitroaromatics may be removed from the purified effluent by means of an extraction liquid being sparely water-soluble, such as toluene or xylene or a mixture thereof.
Claims3
A method for recovering blasting oil selected from the group consisting of glycol dinitrate, glycerine trinitrate and mixtures thereof from an effluent resulting from the production of blasting oil-containing explosives which comprises extracting the blasting oil from the effluent with a liquid nitroaromatic in an extraction apparatus, said nitroaromatic liquid being a component used in the blasting oil-containing explosive such that the blasting oil-nitroaromatic extract can be utilized for the preparation of the final explosive.
