Hi,

Just an FYI, for anyone who does not have access to the Bretherick's Handbook in a library, this resource is excerpted by the Hazardous Substances DataBase out of the National Library of Medicine, along with several other sources. This database is organized by compound with a section on Chemical Safety & Handling > Hazardous Reactivities & Incompatibilities.

It is openly searchable by the public via Toxnet (http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/newtoxnet/hsdb.htm) or PubChem (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/944#section=Reactivities-and-Incompatibilities).

Best,
Leah

Another useful place to start (my usual go-to for reactive hazards) is Bretherick?s Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, which is quite an expensive set of books (there?s two volumes), so you might want to visit your library to read it. Bretherick?s is basically an annotated bibliography of literature references on various reactive hazards. My copy of the 7th edition has about 35 pages of notes on nitric acid, including a few references specifically on nitric/acetic acid mixtures. It?s not a completely exhaustive source, but it?s well-organized so you have a high likelihood of finding relevant literature.

regards,
dan

Tilak I went to the website address you gave me, but I am not capable to access those articles I do not have the credentials necessary to access it. Is it possible from you side to do something, thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Recently I start working on a project involving nitration with nitric acid, does anyone has an experience with this kind of reaction ? Also we are mixing nitric acid and acetic acid and then adding the compound to be nitrate, how dangerous is the mixing of the two acids I read that they are incompatible ?

Kind regards,
Nadia
