Abstract
We studied the Lab-scale process for the development of DNAM in aspect of safety and overall efficiency. Melamine is used for starting material of process, DNAM was synthesized by oxidation and nitration reaction. In order to optimize the process parameters with the product in higher yield and purity, a systematic study with variation of different parameters like molar ratio of nitrating mixture, conditioning time and order of reactant was carried out. The optimized reaction conditions for the synthesis of DNAM were : conditioning time of $3{\pm}3.5$ hour and nitrating mixture in 1:1.4 molar ratio. In order to proceed a stable reaction, melamine was added with enough time to relieve reaction heat. From these reaction condition, DNAM could be obtained in a yield of more than 60%.
