Guest nick416 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I am working on an independent study of nitroglycerin and one component of this assignment is to find a contact for an explanation. I would greatly appreciate anyone who can help by giving me a brief overview of any of the following aspects of nitroglycerin, which would also allow me to look into each in greater detail: - environmental chemistry - optimum orientation - economic significance - applications - social effects I know these are straight forward and I can find any information I need on the web, but the point is to hear it from someone with a background in chemistry. Please include your title or credentials. thanks Nick, gr12 chem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 there aren`t many applications for it nowadays beyond that of medicinal usage for heart conditions and a few other rarer conditions that benefit from its vasodilating properties.

Sayonara Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 .doc cannot be uploaded as the format is prone to being exploited by VB scripts and viruses. If possible use .txt instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayonara Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Are you using the "attach file" option on these forums, or are you trying to upload it somewhere else with FTP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayonara Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 You can only attach files when you start a new thread or a new reply, but like I said - you can't upload a .doc to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 NG`s also rarely to never used comercialy as an explosive anymore either. there are much better explosives out there and more stable and just as inexpensive to produce. Dynamite nowadays is very rarely NG based, the main uses for NG in that area are as a "sensitiser" for lower grade det-caps and to be mixed also with Nitro-Cellulose in some SP mixes. as for the rest of your questions, a Google search would be more helpfull, they`re more Socio-Economic based and not really my area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
