Geiger © 2010 Rebecca Albo ii ABSTRACT Triacetone triperoxide (TATP), a cyclic peroxide explosive, is frequently used by terrorists and amateur chemists due to the ease of synthesis and the availability of reagents. TATP is extremely sensitive to shock, heat, and friction thus a safe and rapid method for treating TATP is needed. The major objective of this dissertation was to develop in situ methodologies that could safely degrade TATP in various field situations.

Scope This publication provides doctrine for planning, conducting, and assessing military operations in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear environments. 2. Purpose This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations, and it provides considerations for military interaction with governmental and nongovernmental agencies, multinational forces, and other interorganizational partners. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs), and prescribes joint doctrine for operations and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing and executing their plans and orders. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of objectives. 3. Application a. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the Joint Staff, commanders of combatant commands, subordinate unified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these commands, the Services, and combat support agencies.

Additives present in the precursors were investigated to see if they carry through the TATP synthesis and can be detected in the final product potentially aiding in the identification of the source.

Later Milas and time throughout the experiments. The spectral data of the liquid phases Golubovic4 discovered that the reaction rate as well as the yield indicate that at 25 8C the reaction between acetone and hydrogen peroxide would be significantly increased by adding acid to the proceeds to form intermediates within one day. Based on the assumption that a likely reaction path involves a sequence of reaction steps between reactants. However, even though the synthesis has been known acetone and hydrogen peroxide, calculations of Raman spectra were for a long time, the exact course of the reaction is not known. performed using a density functional theory (DFT)/Hartree–Fock In this paper we report an investigation on TATP approach. It was not possible from this to assess with certainty which crystallization with focus on the effect of temperature and pH intermediate products formed most extensively in an acetone/hydrogen on the reaction kinetics.
