It should contain no nitrobenzene and should be odourless. It is readily soluble in alcohol, benzene and other organic solvent,and can be purified by recrystallization from them. It can only be detonatedwith great difficulty, and consequently is not used an an explosive by itself,but it has been - stituent of complex explosives, such as the ammonium nitrate explosive s, Belhte and Roburite, and low freezing nitro-glycerin-
