Reclamation of RDX from C-4 Explosives by the Jolly Roger

RDX can be obtained from C-4 explosives with the use of gasoline. It can
|
|
be used as a booster explosive for detonators or as a high explosive charge.

Procedure:
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
1) Place 1-1/2 teaspoons (15 grams) of C-4 explosive in one of the pint jars.
|
|
Add 1 cup (240 milliliters) of gasoline.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: These quantities can be increased to obtain more RDX. For example, use 2
|
|
gallons of gasoline per 1 cup of C-4.
|
|
|
|
2) Knead and stir the C-4 with the rod until the C-4 has broken down into small
|
|
particles. Allow mixture to stand for 1/2 hour.
|
|
3) Stir the mixture again until a fine white powder remains on the bottom of
|
|
the jar.
|
|
4) Filter the mixture through a paper towel into the other glass jar. Wash the
|
|
particles collected on the paper towel with 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) of
|
|
gasoline. Discard the waste liquid.
|
|
5) Place the RDX particles in a glass or ceramic dish. Set the dish in a pan of
|
|
hot water, not boiling and dry for a period of 1 hour.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The RDX particles may be air dried for a period of 2 to 3 hours.
