Nitric Acid by the Jolly Roger
|
|
|
|
Nitric Acid is used in the preparation of many explosives, incediary
|
|
mixtures, and acid delay timers. It may be prepared by distilling a mixture
|
|
of potassium nitrate and concentrated sulfuric acid.
|
|
|
|
Material Required Sources
|
|
----------------- -------
|
|
Potassium Nitrate (2 parts by volume) Elsewhere in this
|
|
Cookbook, or drug store
|
|
CONCENTRATED sulfuric acid (1 part by volume) Motor vehicle batteries
|
|
Industrial plants
|
|
2 bottles or ceramin jugs (narrow necks are
|
|
preferable)
|
|
Pot or frying pan
|
|
Heat source (wood, charcoal, or coal)
|
|
Tape (paper, electrical, masking, but NOT cellophane!)
|
|
Paper or rags
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: If sulfuric acid is obtained from a motor vehicle battery,
|
|
concentrate it by boiling it UNTIL white fumes appear. DO NOT INHALE FUMES
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The amount of nitric acid produced is th same as the amount of
|
|
potassium nitrate. Thus, for two tablespoons of nitric acid, use 2
|
|
tablespoons of potassium nitrate and 1 tablespoonful of concentrated sulfuric
|
|
acid.
|
|
|
|
Procedure:
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
1) Place dry potassium nitrate in bottle or jug. Add sulfuric acid. Do not
|
|
fill the bottle more than 1/4 full. Mix until paste is formed.
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: DO NOT INHALE FUMES!
|
|
|
|
2) Wrap paper or rags around necks of two bottles. securly tape necks of two
|
|
bottles together. Be sure that bottles are flush against each other and that
|
|
there are no air spaces.
|
|
3) Support bottles on rocks or cans so that empty bottle is SLIGHTLY lower
|
|
than bottle containing paste so that nitric acid that is formed in receiving
|
|
bottle will not run into other bottle.
|
|
4) Build fire in pot or frying pan.
|
|
5) Gently heat bottle containing mixture by gently moving fire in and out. As
|
|
red fumes begin to appear periodically pour cool water over empty receiving
|
|
bottle. Nitric acid will befin to form in receiving bottle.
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: Do not overheat or wet bottle containing mixture or it may shatter.
|
|
As an added precaution, place bottle to be heated in heat resistant container
|
|
filled with sand or gravel. Heat this outer container to produce nitric acid.
|
|
|
|
6) Continue the above process until no more red fumes are formed. If the
|
|
nitric acid formed in the receiving bottle is not clear (cloudy) pour it into
|
|
cleaned bottle and repeat steps 2-6.
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: Nitric acid should be ket away from all combustables and should be
|
|
kept in a SEALED CERAMIC OR GLASS container. DO NOT inhale fumes!
