1，3，5-triamino-2，4，6-trinitrobenzene （TATB） has good detonation energy and excellent safety performance， which is the only single explosive meeting the insensitive high energy explosive （IHE） standard. However， TATB has strong intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding， which makes it difficult to dissolve in common solvents. While improving the solubility of TATB is not only an important prerequisite for product refining， quality control and shape control， but also an important way to reduce the production cost and environmental pollution. Therefore， improving the solubility of TATB is an important basis for engineering application. The research progress of dissolution characteristics of TATB in different solvents are reviewed， including common solvents （e.g. dimethyl sulfoxide）， strong acids and bases （e.g. concentrated sulfuric acid， sodium hydroxide solution）， and ionic liquids （e.g. 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate）， et al. The existing advantages and disadvantages of the current solvent systems in dissolving TATB are analyzed. The dissolving solvents and methods of the future are also anticipated， for instance， developing new combination solvents to improve solubility， and studying the dissolution mechanism by using computational chemistry method.
