picric acid usage and synthesis

chemical properties	yellow solid
general description	a paste or slurry consisting of the yellow crystalline solid mixed with water. the dry compound is a sensitive high explosive. the mixture with water is considered safe for storage, handling and shipping. can be detonated with a number 8 electric blasting cap. the primary hazard is blast where the entire load explodes instantaneously and not from flying projectiles fragments. can explode under prolonged exposure to heat.
air & water reactions	water soluble.
reactivity profile	picric acid undergoes vigorous reactions with both oxidizing or reducing agents. burns if ignited by a flame and continues to burns quietly if the quantity is small or, if large, is thinly spread over an area. the dry compound can explode if shocked or exposed to heat. wetting significantly reduces the tendency to explode. readily forms salts on contact with many metals (including copper, lead, mercury, zinc, nickel, iron) . the salts are sensitive explosives when subjected to heat, friction, or impact. contact with concrete floors may form the friction-sensitive explosive calcium picrate [urbanski, 1964, vol. 1, p. 518]. contact with metallic zinc or lead can cause detonation. salts with ammonia, amines and complexes with hydrocarbons are less sensitive [kirk-othmer, 1965, vol. 8, p. 617].
health hazard	some are toxic and may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
