Nitro, Nitroso, Nitrate, and Nitrite Compounds, Organic mixed with
Quaternary Ammonium and Phosphonium Salts

Hazard Predictions

Combinations of quaternary ammonium salts with inorganic nitrates have yielded light-sensitized emulsions (DJ Beavers - US Patent 2,940,855, 1960.; Y Oka - US Patent 4,879,200, 1989.; RW Berriman - US Patent 3,367,778, 1968). The effects of this potentially reactive combination of chemicals are unknown, so further testing on a small scale is encouraged, especially given the potentially explosive nature of nitro compounds when mixed with organics.
