Application

  • Employing UV/H2O2 process for degradation of 2, 4-Diaminotoluene in synthetic wastewater: This study explores the degradation of carcinogenic Toluene-2, 4-diamine in synthetic wastewater using the UV/H2O2 process, highlighting its potential for improving water treatment methods (J Hosseini, A Shokri, 2017).
  • Development of magnetic, ferrite supported palladium catalysts for 2, 4-dinitrotoluene hydrogenation: The paper discusses the use of Pd/NiFe2O4 catalyst for efficient hydrogenation of 2,4-dinitrotoluene to 2,4-diaminotoluene, demonstrating a high yield and potential for industrial applications (V Hajdu, M Varga, G Muránszky, G Karacs, 2021).
  • Synthesis, characterisation and energetic performance of insensitive energetic salts formed between picric acid and 2, 3-diaminotoluene, 2, 4-diaminotoluene: This paper presents the synthesis and characterization of new energetic materials, which could be significant for the development of safer explosives and pyrotechnic devices (N Şen, H Nazir, N Atҫeken, KS Hope, N Acar, 2020).
