This study was conducted to confirm various results obtained through cooling crystallization of HMX in a binary solvent of propylene carbonate and water. HMX is term derived from High Molecula-weight rdX and is widely used industrially. The solvent chosen for the HMX manufacturing process is a two-component solvent of PC and water. The binary solvent of PC and water was mainly composed of 80% PC and 90% PC. In addition, the initial concentration was determined according to the mass fraction of PC in the binary solvent of PC and water. The cooling crystallization of the HMX was controlled by controlling the degree of supersaturation, the driving force of crystallization. The recrystallized HMX crystals are in β-form. The recrystallized crystals were analyzed by SEM and optical microscope.
