development of Flow Chemistry for the Safer Synthesis of Explosives

Tender details

The tender requires the development of flow chemistry methods for the safe, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable synthesis of three priority explosives: TATP, PETN, and HMX. Key tasks include assessing current research, developing flow-compatible synthetic processes, designing an advanced flow chemistry reactor, implementing process analytical technology for real-time monitoring, enabling remote operations, training NRCan personnel, and pursuing government-owned intellectual property for potential patent filings.
