Wel l , t hi s i s my f i rst t ext f i l e. I am not a comput er user, but l ucki l y I have pl ent yf t ypi ng exper i ence on my I BM Typewr i t t er . Let me f i r st expl ai n exact l y why I am wr i t i ng t hi sam vi si t i ng my rel at i ves her e i n Cal i f or ni a, I am f r om Texas. I made ment i on of t he f act t haknow how t o make Ni t r ogl ycer i n t o one of my cousi ns, he want ed to know how. So he asked me t

et on hi s comput er , and wr i t e i t down so he coul d submi t i t on t he i nt er net .

He showed me a f ew t hi ngs on t he comput er t hat he had on how t o make ni t r ogl ycer i n,t he anar chi st cookbook" he says. Wel l , t hat ' s not t he real way. I am f r om Texas, and I di dr ow up knowi ng how t o make Ni t r ogl ycer i n, and i t i s act ual l y ver y si mpl e. I ' m no chemi st , andcan do i t . Of cour se I don' t go doi ng bad thi ngs wi t h i t , i t i s qui t e usef ul when tear i ng

own an ol d house, or shed. I usual l y use my ni t r ogl ycer i n bat ches f or bl ast i ng l ar ge r ocks ouf t he gr ound when I am di ggi ng l ar ge hol es by hand ( l ots of r ocks i n Texas) .

Anyway, so here i s how t o make Ni t r ogl ycer i n.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Ok, now l et me tel l you f i r st of f t hat I have never had a ni t r ogl ycer i n r eact i on gowr ong. I f eel t ot al l y saf e when maki ng ni t r ogl ycer i n, t here r eal l y i s not hi ng danger ous aboutoi ng t hi s, as l ong as you use some Common Sense i n saf ety. Li ke not shaki ng l i qui ds.

Thi s st uf f was f i r st made i n the mi ddl e of t he 1800s. That says al ot i f you consi derhe ver y si mpl e, r ough mater i al s and equi pment t hat t hey had at t he t i me. Anyone who has noteen dr opped on t hei r head can easi l y become a master at t hi s. J ust as l ong as you f ol l ow t hei r ect i ons, not hi ng can real l y go wr ong.

Ok, f i r st a l i st of t hi ngs t hat you' r e goi ng to need:

- Lots of I ce- Ni t r i c Aci d ( Concent r at ed)- Sul f ur i c Aci d ( Concent r at ed)- Gl ycer i n ( wi t h NO wat er)- Bucket of Water- St yr of oam Cont ai ner ( t he ones f or beer )- Pi nt Si zed Gl ass Fl ask- A 2000mL Seperatory Funnel ( easy t o come by i n cat al ogs)

- Di sti l l ed Wat er- Thermomet er

Fi r st , keep t he bucket of water cl ose, i f somethi ng does go wr ong, you can dr own i t ouwi t h water. Thi s wi l l not happen, as l ong as you ar e not a compl ete dumbass.

You must r emember t hat you CAN NOT have gl ycer i n t hat has wat er i n i t . You must havect ual gl ycer i n. Fi nd a chemi cal suppl i er t hat suppl i es pur e gl ycer i n.

Not e t hat you ar e const ant l y usi ng the seper at or y f unnel . Af t er you use i t once, cl eant , t hen use i t agai n 20 mi nut es l at er . You ar e goi ng t o have t o cl ean i t and use i t about 3i mes.

Fi l l t he St yr of oam Cont ai ner hal f way f ul l of I ce. Thi s cont ai ner wi l l be used t o coolour f l ask wi t h al l t he chemi cal s i n i t . The chemi cal s bei ng col d i s 100% REQUI RED. I f t hengr edi ent s are not col d when mi xed, other r eact i ons can t ake pl ace, and your mi xtur e coul dxpl ode. Thi s i s easi l y avoi ded by doi ng what I j ust sai d: f i l l t he St yr of oam Cont ai ner hal f

way ful l of I ce.

Put your Ni t r i c Aci d and Sul f ur i c Aci d i n t he f r eezer f or a whi l e bef or e mi xi ng t hemn t he f l ask. That way you do not have t o si t ar ound and wai t f or t hem t o get col d. Bur r y yourl ass f l ask i n t he i ce ( i ce bat h) , pour i n 200mL concent r at ed sul f ur i c aci d, and 100mL ofoncent r at ed ni t r i c aci d, t hey ar e mi xed t oget her by swi r l i ng the cont ai ner a bi t , or mi xi ng

wi t h a gl ass r od, or t he t her momet er . Thi s mi xi ng wi l l war m t hem up a bi t , but t hey wi l lui ckl y cool i n t he i ce bat h. When t he t emper at ur e of t he aci ds i s 40F, t he gl ycer i n can bedded. 50mL of gl yceri n i s measur ed out , and added t o t he Ni t r i c Aci d and Sul f ur i c Aci d

mi xtur e 5mL at a t i me. The best way to do t hi s i s t o r un t he smal l amount s of gl ycer i n downhe i nsi de of t he gl ass, so i t gradual l y pours i nt o the aci ds. The gl ass f l ask i s t i l t ed at anngl e, and t ur ned l i ke a concret e mi xer ( usi ng your hands) whi l e you pour t he gl yceri n i n. DOOT pour t he gl ycer i n i nt o t he aci ds al l at once, or even i n 5mL gl obul es. You must sl owl y addt t o t he aci d mi xt ur es. I f t he gl ycer i n bui l ds up i n one spot , a runaway r eact i on can occour ,o make sur e t o pour i t i n ver y sl owl y as I st at ed above. Be Gent l e.

Do thi s unt i l you have added al l t he gl ycer i n. I t t akes about 25 mi nut es, addi ng t enor t i ons of gl ycer i n of about 5mL each. The t emper at ur e of t he aci ds and gl ycer i n i nsi de thel ask shoul d be wat ched cl osel y. I t shoul d not be al l owed t o ri se above 50F. I f i t get s t ool ose t o thi s t emper at ur e, t he addi ng of gl ycer i n shoul d st op i mmi di at l y, and t he mi xi ngont i nued wi t h t he f l ask nest l ed i n the i ce bat h unt i l t he t emper ature dr ops back down t or ound 40F.

Under NO ci r cumst ances may i t be thought t hat you can add the ni t r i c aci d, sul f ur i cci d, and gl ycer i n at t he same t i me. To add al l t hr ee chemi cal s at once wi l l r esul t i n a sur eeat h I am assumi ng. I r eal l y don' t know what woul d happen, I j ust know t hat i t woul d be ver yad. ( My l ack i n knowl edge of t hi s i s because I have never been st upi d enough to act ual l y dot ) .

When al l t he gl ycer i n has been added, a mi l ky col or ed sol ut i on wi l l be f or med wi t hi t t l e gl obul es of pur e ni t r ogl ycer i n t hr oughout t he mi xt ur e. Af t er t he gl ycer i n has beendded, t he mi x can be al l owed t o war m up a bi t . I t can be taken out of i t ' s i ce bat h, andl l owed to r i se ar ound t he 50s F. You shoul d st i r occasi onal l y dur i ng t hi s t i me.

About 25 mi nut es af t er t he l ast bi t of gl ycer i n has been added, you can consi der t heeact i on t o be done. Now i s t i me f or t he pur i f i cat i on pr ocess.

Fi r st , get a l i t t l e over quar t of col d di st i l l ed wat er , and put i t i n a 2000mLeper at or y f unnel . Pour your ni t r ogl ycer i n bat ch i nt o t he seper at or y f unnel wi t h t he wat er . Let s i t f or a bi t , t he bot t om Oi l t ype l ayer i s t he ni t rogl yceri n. A smal l amount of t hei t r ogl ycer i n st ays f l oat i ng at t he t op of t he wat er , j ust spl ash t he wat er ar ound t he smal lr opl et s of ni t r ogl ycer i n wi t h a gl ass st i r r i ng rod, and they wi l l si nk t o the bot t om. When alf t he Ni t r ogl ycer i n has seper at ed f r om t he aci d and wat er , you can rel ease t he st opcock on thot t om of t he sep f unnel , and dr ai n out t he ni t r ogl ycer i n i nt o a gl ass cont ai ner . You must NOTl l ow any of t he ot her t op l ayer i nt o the j ar wi t h t he ni t r ogl ycer i n, because t he ent i r e poi nt

s t o seper at e t he ni t r ogl ycer i n f r om t he aci ds.The seper at ed ni t r ogl ycer i n i s added t o a cup of col d di st i l l ed wat er , and al l owed t o

i t f or a l i t t l e whi l e. The wat er wi l l soak up more aci d f rom t he ni t rogl yceri n, t hat i s t heoi nt of mi xi ng al l of t hi s wi t h wat er : t o seper at e the aci ds away f r om t he ni t r ogl ycer i n. I ts good t o cause t he ni t r o t o f l ow ar ound on t he bot t om of i t s new cont ai ner ever y once i n a

whi l e, so t hat i t i s not t he same ol d sur f ace exposed to t he wat er al l t he t i me. Thi s wat erat h shoul d take no more t han about an hour .

pour t he ni t r ogl ycer i n/ di st i l l ed wat er back i nt o t he sep f unnel , and seper at e theot t om Ni t r ogl ycer i n l ayer f r om t he wat er / aci d l ayer . Agai n, be sur e t o onl y al l ow t hei t rogl yceri n to drai n.

Take 10 gr ams of Ar m & Hammer, and add i t t o a cup of di st i l l ed water i n the sepunnel , mi xi ng i t unt i l i t i s t ot al l y di ssol ved ( t hi s i s your bi carb sol ut i on) . Thei t rogl ycer i n s t i l l has some aci d l ef t i n i t , and t hi s sol ut i on wi l l hel p pul l al l of i t out .f there i s st i l l aci d l ef t i n the ni t r ogl ycer i n, the ni t r ogl ycer i n wi l l not keep, i t wi l l

r eak down. I f you ski p any of t hese pur i f i cat i on st eps, you wi l l have a crappy ni t r ogl ycer i nhat wi l l pr obabl y not expl ode. Add t he ni t r ogl ycer i n t o t he bi car b sol ut i on.

When the ni t r ogl ycer i n i s added to t he sol ut i on, i t si nks t o t he bot t om. I t shoul dook mi l ky and oi l y. I t wi l l pr obabl y cause t he bi car b sol ut i on t o bubbl e a bi t , maybe somei zzi ng. You need to rot at e t he sep f unnel , so t hat t he ni t r ogl ycer i n r ol l s around on t heot t om of t he cont ai ner exposi ng f r esh sur f aces t o the bi car b sol ut i on. Ti l t i t at about a 45egr ee angl e t o do thi s, i t ' s bet t er because then more ni t r ogl ycer i n gets exposed t o thei car b sol ut i on. Be gent l e wi t h ever y st i r r i ng t echni que you use. Do not use any rod t o st i rhe mi xture, You do not want t o cause f r i ct i on. Wi t h t he ni t r ogl ycer i n i n t he posi t i on t hat i ts i n, you can cause ser i ousl y l ar ge expl si ons f r om causi ng f r i cti on. Sof t swi r l i ng may besed. Spend at l east a coupl e of hour s on thi s st ep. I t shoul d be const ant l y att ended,t i r r ed, swi r r l ed, etc .

At t he end of t he bi car b t r eat ment , t he ni t r ogl ycer i n st i l l l ooks t he same, i t st i l looks mi l ky. Thi s i s f r om t he wat er caught i n t he ni t r ogl ycer i n, and i t shoul d be r emoved f orhe ni t r ogl ycer i n t o be deemed pur e. I t wi l l cause pr obl ems wi t h det onat i ng the ni t r o i f i t i s

ot r emoved.To remove t he wat er compl etel y, you need t o get some hot wat er i n a cont ai ner , and

i ssol ve as much t abl e sal t as you can i n i t . Shake i t as much as you can to di ssol ve as muchal t as you possi bl y can i n t he hot water . When t he wat er cool s down, t he cl ear col or edat ur at ed sal t sol ut i on ( no cr yst al s of sal t f l oat i ng ar ound) i s pour ed of f of t he excess sal that i s s i t t i ng on the bot t om of t he cont ai ner. Put i t i n a sui t abl e cont ai ner. Thei t r ogl yceri n can now be put seper at ed i n t he seper at or y f unnel j ust as bef or e. You t hen puthe ni t r ogl ycer i n i nt o cont act wi t h t he sal t sol ut i on. Ther e shoul d be about t wo vol umes ofal t sol ut i on added to one vol ume of ni t r ogl ycer i n. Af t er si t t i ng t oget her f or a f ew hour s, t hal t wi l l get al l t he wat er out of t he ni t rogl yceri n, resul t i ng i n a Cl ear product.

he yi el d of ni t r ogl ycer i n i s about 50mL. Thi s i s not al ot of ni t r ogl ycer i n, but enough t oave some f un wi t h.

Wel l , t hat ' s how t o do i t !
