On Thursday, he said the blast was caused by a car bomb containing trinitrotoluene and sulfur. |
In combination with nitric acid, toluene gives trinitrotoluene. |
Hence it has been displaced by more suitable substances, notably by trinitrotoluene. |
Fumyl is a smoke-producing explosive, and contains trinitrotoluene and ammonium chloride. |
The Germans did not develop this explosive as much as the Entente Powers, who effected great economy of trinitrotoluene. |
With World War I looming, nitrogen was also in demand for the production of trinitrotoluene and other explosives. |
