How do you dispose of nitroglycerin?

The nitroglycerin content of angina pills is very small, and does not constitute an explosion hazard of any sort. Nitroglycerin pills should be disposed of as per the packaging insert (typically, wrapped thoroughly in newspaper, then put in trash). If you have bulk quantities of pure nitroglycerin -- more than a fraction of a teaspoon -- you have a very hazardous material that must be handled with care. Nitroglycerin is highly energetic; the detonation of a tablespoon (30cc) could amputate the hand holding the spoon and possibly kill someone. There are methods, typically involving the reaction of nitroglycerin with a base such as sodium hydroxide, for neutralizing the nitroglycerin. However, unless you are an experienced chemist or otherwise have experience in the handling of sensitive materials, you should not attempt neutralization -- or disposal -- of nitroglycerin yourself. Call your local fire department to let them know what you have. They can assist you or contact someone who can. Be aware that you may have some explaining to do, if you have more than experimental quantities and don't have an ATF license...


Is dynamite the most available explosive agent?

No. Ammonium nitrate, combined with a fuel such as #2 diesel oil is the most commonly used explosive in the world today. We use roughly 5 million pounds of that each day, worldwide.


Compare the exposive power of TNT against that of propane gas?

Not possible as the explosive force of propane will depend on what it is mixed with (air or oxygen or other oxidiser), the ratio propane to oxidising agent, and pressure. In very many cases, propane will not explode when ignited.


What type of explosive agent is the most important raw material in the manufacturing of industrial explosives?

At one time it was nitroglycerin- now it is probably ammonium nitrate, but RDX, HMX and TNT are also widely used.

Who first realized sublinqual nitroglycerin eased the pain of angina?

Dr. William Murrell was first credited for experimenting with and later utilizing nitroglycerin as a treatment for angina. His results were published in The Lancet and, subsequently, the treatment became popular due to its efficacy. The nitroglycerin was marketed as Trinitrin to allay the potential fears of patients and it is effective at generating nitric oxide, a powerful vasodilatory agent for lowering blood pressure and increasing blood flow around blocked arteries that usually cause angina.It does also give you a wicked headache.
