Guest tomasl555 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi there this is my first thread in this forum, firstly thank you all very much. one time i read about making kno3 from (manure,dirt,ashes,..etc) and i have found the way in this forum before i enjoy it, but the way was so difficult for me because the steps of it have no explain it was so simplified(too short) so of course i have too many mistakes, the thing i need from you friends to explain this way for me more and more and if you can add some pics,or something else, or to find me this way on a good website and with a good explaning and to be easy to do... i attached the file that i got from this forum in the past but it is not explain everything, you will find some questions for me in it. thank you very much,,,, i waiting for a reply quickly....please...

budullewraagh Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 urinate on manure and leave it out in the sun for awhile and you'll get potassium nitrate as a result of bacterial action. you wont get it from dirt or ashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacknife360 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Mate, sounds like the Anarchist cookbook to me. I wouldn't bother trying to extract it. Go to a butchers or meat seller (depends where you live) and ask for some saltpetre. I can get it for £2 for about 1kg in Britain. They use it to cure meat. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 if he asks how to make nitric acid dont tell him :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 "if he asks how to make nitric acid dont tell him :\" Lol. Btw, I'm starting to wonder if anyone ever tried the bacteria-decomposition thing with human excrement. I recall YT using bovine manure or similar, in a large barrel or something, but I've probably just had hallucinations... again. Oooh look at the pretty colors.

budullewraagh Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 it's things like this that dont make sense to me. if people want potassium nitrate they'll just collect their own excrement and make it themselves. it's also banned from being sold in the us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Lol. Btw' date=' I'm starting to wonder if anyone ever tried the bacteria-decomposition thing with human excrement.

Oooh look at the pretty colors.[/quote'] you weren`t dreaming, I have about 28 gallons of it "fermenting" along with several tens of kilos of Wood Ash. it should be just great in the summer when I filter and dry it out in the sunshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffsjoe Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 How much potassium nitrate will that make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexaditon Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 it's also banned from being sold in the us Who lied to you? Potassium Nitrate is a common fertilizer can be bought throughout the states from sea to shining sea in 50 pound bags. It is fertilizer grade - mined from the mountains in Chile - so the impurities are NaCl and possibly a bit of hydroxide aswell - this can be checked through pH test. Some bags will hardly tip the meter. If the farm supply thinks you're too ugly to sell it to you - you can find it in a more expensive source through nurseries that sell stump removers. Many stump removers are about a 5 bucks per pound source of KNO3 with about equal purity to that of the fertilizer grade. It may have a binding agent which can be seperated by disolving in water and recrystalizing. If THEY think you're too ugly - You can use any nitrate - particularly the hydroscopic NaNO3 which you can find in the garden sections of hardware stores.... and don't worry, they get plenty of ugly people so they won't notice you. Using this and a potassium salt (like KCl which is at grocery stores as a salt substitute) you can seperate KNO3 through a process of fractional crystalization. Look at solubility charts for guidance on this process. Cheers! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potassium Nitrate is a common fertilizer can be bought throughout the states from sea to shining sea in 50 pound bags. It is fertilizer grade - mined from the mountains in Chile - last i checked they mined sodium nitrate in chile. and as it is now, i cannot get any NO3-, save the small amount of ammonium nitrate in cooling packs. that's it. i can get an expensive mixture of trash with 8% KNO3 and that's it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexaditon Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Last time you checked you were very correct. Nitrates are mined in Chile. As stated in the post. -Justin 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrodiphenylmethane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 wow you can read too. i specified it as sodium nitrate. as i recall there is minimal potassium nitrate in chile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexaditon Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 And I specified nitrates in reply. If that's what you recalled - then you recalled wrong. My apologies for your lapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 so, essentially, you have stated that my mentioning a portion of the name of a chemical was redundant, as that portion (the anion) had already been mentioned before. you see, in case you hadn't read thoroughly, i mentioned a difference in the cation present in the salt. as well, it is not your place to apologize for my "lapses," especially in the situation where i have not made a "lapse". since the time you have joined this forum, i have noticed the constistent condescending nature of your posts. we do not appreciate such an attitude around here. if you wish to be a member of these forums, i suggest you act with less pomposity, lest you be banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexaditon Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Are you the moderator? Let the moderator be the moderator. Are you the entire forum? Let the forum be the forum. If you don't like me - get over it. If the moderator doesn't like me - he'll ban me. It is within his powers and the decision is properly his - not yours. btw there is a reason why they call it Chile saltpeter. Can you think of why that could be? *holds hands on knees like blues clues* cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 they call it chile saltpeter because it isn't like other saltpeter. gee, i guess you didnt think of that one, now did you? it's chile saltpeter because it is natrium nitrate rather than normal saltpeter which is kallium nitrate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexaditon Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I would laugh if the joke was funny. They call it chile saltpeter because it's mined in Chile. Again please don't try to bs your way around error. And again - google is a fine resource for research; you don't have to pull info from your ass. Anything else?
