i did
its equal to 20000 tons of tnt
No- TNT was created long before he was born. However, he DID discover a process to make acetone by fermentation. Acetone is used to produce cordite, another military explosive.
There were 2300 tonnes of picric acid (an explosive agent more destructive than TNT), 200 tonnes of TNT, 35 tonnes of benzole and 10 tonnes of gun cotton.
because the TNT they worked with was harmful and the toxic powders involved in making it turned their skin yellow, over 400 'canaries'died from overexposure to TNT.
German chemist Joseph Wilbrand
Joseph Wilbrand was a German chemist. He invented trinitrotoluene in 1863. It is also known as TNT. In 1863, he made a breakthrough in field of thermo chemistry by inventing trinitrotoluene or TNT which was obtained by the nitration of toluene.
TNT or Trinitrotoluene was invented by the German chemist, Joseph Wilbrand, in 1863. (Not to be confused with Dynamite which was invented by Alfred Nobel)
There is no known connection between Joseph Wilbrand and Julius Wilbrand. They are likely two different individuals unless there is specific information suggesting otherwise.

1811-1894
TNT was first prepared in 1863 by German chemist Julius Wilbrand- and originally used as an orange dye.
Kinda... TNT was discovered in 1863 by Joseph Wilbrand. At that time it was not known as an explosive. In fact it wasn't discovered that it was explosive until 30 years and the Germans started producing it for industrial purposes in the 1890s it wasn't until 1902 until the German army started using it. I'm not sure who first discovered that TNT was a high explosive.
TNT, dynamite
Julius Wilbrand died in 1906.
Hermann Wilbrand was born in 1851.
