This work introduces a suitable method for the optimization of selective synthesis of 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane (HMX), as one of the most well-known high explosives, from the aspects of production capacity and efficiency, by nitration of 3,7-dinitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazabicyclo[3,3,1]nonane (DPT). The effective factors in the productive capacity of HMX and the synthesis of a product from raw DPT with high capacity, purity, and efficiency have been identified. The required qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed for the identification and confirmation of the product quality. In order to optimize the process of increasing the capacity of HMX production and evaluation of the effects of different factors on the production capacity, a series of experiments were designed and performed by using central composite design (CCD). Practical studies and statistical analyses showed good conformity between the model presented and the actual results, allowing the selective production of HMX with an efficiency of greater than 70% and a high production capacity.
