woelen Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Forget about it. Too much impurities. It will be a real pain to extract the ingredients at reasonable purity. If you want pure ammonium nitrate, you'd better buy some fertilizer, based on this compound (together with some chalk) and then dissolve this and let all insoluble matter settle and evaporate the clear liquid to dryness above a warm heater at 60C or so.

Darkblade48 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 woelan is correct, this will be nearly impossible to extract a good, pure sample of what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woelen Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Then How Can I Get Ammonium Sulfate and Can I do Thing Pyroish With It Pyro-things you cannot do with ammonium sulfate. That requires ammonium nitrate, but ammonium nitrate also is not that suitable. It is very hygroscopic. If you really want to do pyro-things, then start with potassium nitrate. This can be purchased as fertilizer (potassium saltpeter, a.k.a. kali salpeter in non-english speaking countries). This fertilizer contains up to 94% of KNO3 and for first basic experiments this is good enough. Wait until spring, in winter time it may be hard to obtain this material and some persons may think it is suspicious if someone buys this stuff in winter time.

KFC Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 I live in California It Is Always Hot And Sunny How and can you make a solar cell out of a home lab inculding a kilm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[w00t] Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 i think your better of reading a book or something. also it would be good if u made a habit to edit ur post to add something new that pops up in ur head right after u post something. Ammonium Nitrate is extremly hygroscopic, i left some out for 2 hours and i came back and it was liquid... also if u were to purify it and then evaporate the filtrate it its good to do it at <100*c heat. i once did it higher and the ammonium nitrate ended up melting with the water or something and it turned in to something brown very much same characteristic as candle wax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 carbamide (urea) is not an oxidiser, in fact it`s used as a stabiliser in some explosives and also used in some fire proofing formulas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 lol, nope, non that would be worth the effort, the only usable element in urea is the Carbon, so you may as well just buy some charcoal in the 1`st place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
