Nitro -Glycerine.
Out recent note on -improvements in tile
manufacture of nitro-glycerine, has called
forth several inquiries in segard to this
conaprand, and as we find that many of
those who take an interest in the l'echnologist
desire to ' know what it is and shOw it is
- '
i made, a poptilaa article on the subject may
4
perhaps not be unacceptable. •
Nitro -glycerin was discovered;aS long ago
as 1846, but was not applied to any useful
purpose in the arts ' tiritil quite recently.
Strange to say, the first use to which it was
put was a homeepathic medicine, it being
supposed to be a. specific for headaches, as a
very small qtrautity4of it, when applied to
any portion of the body, even the finget,
causes a most violent headaehe. It is a_
most energetic. poison; as the taste isnot
much more disagreeable than that of adin-
ary bad whiskey, it basigiven rise to serioas
accidents. After a tirne attention was call-
ed to it powerfully explosive qualities, and
a smart quantity having been sent to this
country as a specimen, it explodsd by acci-
dent in one of the streets of New York, and
arew very general attention to the isubject.
At the time of this accident -very feW ofour
ordinary chemists had heard of ni ro-glyc-
erine, except as a rare chemical', roducts
,
and the cause of the fearful explos on was
for a tinse a most profound mystery _) But
the value' of nitro-glycerine as an e ',Plosive
agent gradually became known to o ir min -
era an contractors, and it ii nor 1 anufac-
tured Oa a very extensive scale. It is true
that some people stand in mortal terror of
it, and even it is leported that after, the
terrible accident at Aspinwall, by Which a
noble vessel was destroyed, one young lady
threw her glycerine bottle out of the win-'
dow, being 'apparently afraid that if it were
applied-, to chapped. lips, explosion might
ensue. We need hardly say that for the
same reason she should have thrown her
cotton padding out of the window too, for
gun -cotton also is tretriendously explosive.
Nitro-glyceiine is a heavy, oily -looking
liquid, so much so that it has been mis-
taken for oil -and used in a lamp, wher&
nawithstandittg its explosive qualities it
burned very quietly, though not ver lumin-
ously. Butit did not maintain the same
harmless character si hen used as a lubrica-
tor for a *waggon. The concussions were
, tsicam.uch for it, and it blew the wheel to
fragments. -. , .
itis prepa-red from glycerine, nearly in
the same •way, that gun-eottbri is prepared
from cotton. ' Glycernae, like cotton, is one
of the' most harmless of substances, as wilt
be seen by reading the •yeilt- full account
that may be found on page 70 of the pres-
ent number,. But then we must remember
that no conclusion can be drawn as to the
qualities of a compound from the cliaracter
of one or two of its constituents. Charcoal,
which timing a principal ingredient of gun-
powder, is a• very excellent dentrifice, and
forms a sa _ pleasant fuel.
A good rocesa for preparing nitro-gly-
cerine is -as follows : mix, in an earthenware
or glass vessel, one part by, weight of finn-
ing nitric acid, and two parts of the strong-
est sulphuric acid. Caves up closely and
allow the naixtuie to get cold, before it is
used. Then takes seven. ounces of this acid
mixture, and one ounce of glycerine of a
specific gravity of at least 1.25 '(30 ° of
Baume's_hydrometer) and pour the' glycer-
ine very slowly into the acid mixture. The
vessel containing the, acid should be- , placed
in a ' tub. of 0°1(3, 'water, so that it may not
be Warmed by the action of the glycerine on
--
the aeids.I When, the mixture has stood for
ten minutes. pour it slowly into a vessel_ of
cold water, stirring, gently all the while.
The nitro-glycerine will sink to the bottom',
and the acids will dissolve in the water.
The nitro-glycerine should he carefully col-
lected and thoroughly washed in several
waters, so as to free it from all adheiing
acid, as unless,it is liable to decompose and
perhaps to explode spontaneously.
The action of the' acids is to cause the
glycerine to lose hydrogen and take up ni-
trogen and oxygen-. It explodes by percus-
sion, but is not easily exploded by merely
applying a flame or a spark to it.' The
usual way of exploding it is to insert in it
a small cartridge of gun -cotton, fulminating
mercury, gun -powder, otaseufe'sither explo-
sive. Small qUantities of gun -p Nyder, gun-
cotton, orfulesinating rnercur , if lying
loose may be fired on nitrofilycerine with-
out exploding its, but when. tigi btly com-
pressed in a stout ease so as to produce a
hard blow they invariably set it eff.
Its aetion is very powerful, and even in,
open air, when exploded on a iaige rock, it,
invariably produdes a powerful effect. -''A'
few pounds of powder might be laid loosely,
on a thin slate and ea=ploded without pro-
ducing dareage, bat the same quantity of
nitro-glycerine exploded an a heavy slab of
building stene, would break .it in pieces.
Five pounds, placed in a 'stone jar and sus-
pended against the iron side of the steamer
Scotland, sunk off Sandy -Hook, cut, as
with a knife, a fissure teit'or twelve feet in
length. .
Great care is necessary in the use of ni-
tro-glycerine. Serious accidents have oc-
curred from the explosion of the minute
quantity reniaining undrained from the ail.-
parently empty cans in which it had been
transported, and a few weeks ago a serious
accident was Occasioned by nitro-glycerine
escaping from an imperfect cartridge and
flowing downthefissure of a rock that was
being blasted. Sorae.time afterwards, when
the men attempted to bore deeper, the blows
of the drill caused the nitro-glycerine to ex-
plode, and we believe that Ghe of the work-
men. was killed.—Tech,notogist. -,- '
