Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise by Percy Gerald Sanford is a comprehensive and authoritative work that delves into the chemistry, manufacture, properties, and practical applications of nitro-based explosives. First published in the early 20th century, this book serves as an essential reference for chemists, engineers, military professionals, and anyone interested in the science of explosives. Sanford meticulously explores the history and development of nitro-explosives, beginning with the discovery of nitroglycerin and the subsequent invention of dynamite by Alfred Nobel. The treatise covers a wide range of compounds, including nitroglycerin, guncotton, nitrocellulose, picric acid, and various smokeless powders, providing detailed explanations of their chemical structures, methods of synthesis, and the physical and chemical principles underlying their explosive properties. The book is notable for its practical approach, offering step-by-step descriptions of manufacturing processes, safety precautions, and the equipment used in both laboratory and industrial settings. Sanford discusses the challenges and dangers associated with handling and storing nitro-explosives, emphasizing the importance of rigorous safety standards. He also examines the use of these materials in mining, construction, and military operations, illustrating their transformative impact on industry and warfare. Richly illustrated with diagrams, tables, and experimental data, Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise remains a valuable historical document and a testament to the scientific advancements of its era. It provides readers with a thorough understanding of the technical, practical, and historical aspects of nitro-explosives, making it an indispensable resource for those seeking in-depth knowledge of this fascinating and powerful branch of chemistry.
