Nitric acid is used in the preparation of many explosives, incendiary mixtures, and acid
delay timers. It may be prepared by distilling a mixture of potassium nitrate and concentrated
sulfuric acid.
.cj
MATERIALS
.lj
Potassium nitrate (2 parts by volume). /> CONCENTRATED sulfuric acid (1 part by volume.)
Two bottles or ceramic jugs (narrow necks
are preferable.)
Pot or frying pan.
Heat source (wood, coal, or charcoal.)
Tape
(paper, electrical, masking, etc., but not cellophane.)
Paper or rags.

Sources:
Drug Store. Motor vehicle batteries, Industrial plants.
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 the same as the amount of potassium
nitrate. Thus, for 2 tablespoonsful of nitric acid, use 2 tablespoonsful 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 bottle more than 1/4 full. Mix until paste
is formed.

CAUTION: Sulfuric acid will burn skin and destroy clothing. If any is
spilled, wash it away with a large quantity of water. Fumes are also dangerous and should not be
inhaled.

2. Wrap paper or rages around necks of the 2 bottles. Securely tape necks of
bottles together. Be sure bottles are flush against each other and that there are no air spaces. />

Bottle B should be slightly lower than bottle A,
but not so low as to let the
paste to flow from A to B.

3. Support bottles on
rocks or cans so that empty bottle is SLIGHTLY lower that bottle containing past 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 moving fire in and out. As
red fume begin to appear periodically pour cool water over empty receiving bottle. Nitric acid will
begin to form in the 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 a 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 will burn skin and destroy clothing. If any is spilled, wash it away with a large quantity of
water. Fumes are also dangerous and should not be inhaled.

Nitric acid should be kept
away from all combustibles and should be kept in a SEALED CERAMIC OR GLASS container. 03-31

Cellulose Nitrate is known as smokeless powder. It doesn’t take much time or
effort to make it
and can be useful for use indoors where you don’t want any
smoke left floating around the
room.

Materials
———
Concentrated Sulfuric Acid
Concentrated
Nitric Acid
Absorbent Cotton
Sodium Bicarbonate
A 250ml Beaker
Ice Bath /> Paper Towels
Tongs

Procedure
———
Put the beaker in the ice
bath. Add 70ml of Sulfuric Acid, and 30ml of
Nitric Acid.
Divide the cotton into 7/10
gram pieces. Use the tongs to submerge each
piece of the cotton into the acid solution for 1
minute.
Rinse each piece of cotton in 3 successive baths of water, each bath
containing
500ml of water. Use fresh water for each piece.
Now, immerse the cotton into 250ml of Sodium
Bicarbonate. If it bubbles
rinse it in fresh water once more and contiue the procedure until
no bubbling
occurs.
Squeeze each piece dry and put it on paper towels overnight.

You already know what you are supposed to do with it now. Have fun…

NITRIC ACID

NITRIC ACID -= Exodus =- ‘94

There are several ways to make this most essential of all acids for
explosives. One method
by which it could be made will be presented. Once
again, be reminded that these methods
SHOULD NOT BE CARRIED OUT!!

Materials: Equipment:
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
sodium nitrate or adjustable heat source
potassium nitrate

retort
distilled water
ice bath
concentrated
sulfuric acid stirring rod />
collecting flask with stopper

1) Pour 32 milliliters of concentrated sulfuric
acid into the retort.

2) Carefully weigh out 58 grams of sodium nitrate, or 68 grams of
potassium
nitrate. and add this to the acid slowly. If it all does not dissolve,

carefully stir the solution with a glass rod until it does.

3) Place the open end of
the retort into the collecting flask, and place the
collecting flask in the ice bath.

4) Begin heating the retort, using low heat. Continue heating until liquid
begins to
come out of the end of the retort. The liquid that forms is nitric
acid. Heat until the
precipitate in the bottom of the retort is almost dry,
or until no more nitric acid is
forming. CAUTION: If the acid is headed too
strongly, the nitric acid will decompose as soon
as it is formed. This can
result in the production of highly flammable and toxic gasses that
may
explode. It is a good idea to set the above apparatus up, and then get away
from
it.

Potassium nitrate could also be obtained from store-bought black powder,

simply by dissolving black powder in boiling water and filtering out the sulfur
and charcoal.
To obtain 68 g of potassium nitrate, it would be necessary to
dissolve about 90 g of black
powder in about one litre of boiling water. Filter
the dissolved solution through filter paper
in a funnel into a jar until the
liquid that pours through is clear. The charcoal and sulfur
in black powder are
insoluble in water, and so when the solution of water is allowed to
evaporate,
potassium nitrate will be left in the jar.
