  • Method for reclaiming TNT and TNT-base high explosive from warhead by strip down in supercritical fluid
    Patent number: 8608880
    Abstract: A method for the retraction of an explosive component from a high explosive, including the steps of loading a high explosive containing an explosive component into an striping down vessel; supplying a supercritical fluid to the striping down vessel; contacting the high explosive with the supercritical fluid at a temperature below the melting point of the explosive component and at a pressure sufficient to strip down the explosive component; and inducing a sonicating process on the striping down vessel simultaneously at a frequency of 2 MHz to 10 MHz.
