With this document I am trying to provide one place to find the
|
|
sources of various chemicals. Almost any chemical can be purchased
|
|
at a chemical supply house, so I will make no mention of them here.
|
|
|
|
I must remind the reader that improper use of the knowledge provided
|
|
herein can be illegal, fatal and/or generally dangerous to society
|
|
as a whole. I neither approve nor disapprove of any actions taken
|
|
as a result of reading this document.
|
|
|
|
All seriousness aside, I compiled this document for the edification
|
|
of both the novice and the Elite. I will continue to search out and
|
|
find new sources for the simple and exotic chemicals used by the
|
|
urban chemist. I will also attempt to find new and cheaper ways to
|
|
buy, produce and distill chemicals that I have already documented.

INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
Some militants who don't have much dynamite use ammonium nitrate.
|
|
Ammonium nitrate explodes at rates up to 14,000 feet per second. It
|
|
is roughly compared to dynamite having 60% nitro.
|
|
|
|
SOURCES
|
|
|
|
This can be bought by anyone and is commonly found as a fertilizer.
|
|
The pure stuff can be bought at chemical supply houses or the
|
|
fertilizer grade can be purified with distilled wood alcohol.
|
|
|
|
PURIFIED AMMONIUM NITRATE
|
|
|
|
Materials Required:
|
|
|
|
Several pounds of fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate
|
|
Wood Alcohol (methanol), enough to cover ammonium nitrate
|
|
Some large pieces of dry ice
|
|
Two Large Pans
|
|
|
|
Process:
|
|
|
|
1. Put the fertilizer into the first pan.
|
|
|
|
2. Place the second pan on top of the large pieces of dry ice.
|
|
|
|
3. Pour enough methanol over the fertilizer in the first pan to
|
|
cover all of it.
|
|
|
|
4. Stir the mixture until a good portion of the fertilizer has
|
|
dissolved.
|
|
|
|
5. Let the mixture sit for about ten (10) minutes to allow the
|
|
impurities and the rest of the fertilizer to precipitate.
|
|
|
|
6. Strain the liquid in the first pan into the second pan. Be
|
|
sure to make sure that none of the impurities or undissolved
|
|
fertilizer get into the second pan.
|
|
|
|
7. Crystals will form in the methanol. Allow this process to
|
|
continue until no more form.
|
|
|
|
8. Remove the crystals from the methanol and set aside (these are
|
|
crystals of pure ammonium nitrate).

|
|
|
|
9. Pour the remaining methanol back into the first pan. Repeat
|
|
this process starting at step 4 until few crystals are gotten
|
|
from step 8.
|
|
|
|
10. Pour the methanol that is left back into its storage
|
|
container, as it can be used again. Throw away any solids
|
|
left in the first pan.
|
|
|
|
11. Spread the ammonium nitrate crystals out under a heat lamp or
|
|
under the sun to dry.
|
|
|
|
12. Once completely dried, store the crystals in a ziploc storage
|
|
bag.

INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
This is a gas that is both poisonous to most mammals and is highly
|
|
reactive with other substances. Great care must be taken when
|
|
dealing with this chemical.
|
|
|
|
PRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
Materials Required:
|
|
|
|
Ammonia
|
|
Chlorine bleach
|
|
2 Wide mouthed large glass jars
|
|
|
|
Process:
|
|
|
|
1. Fill about 1/8 of a glass jar with the chlorine bleach.
|
|
|
|
2. Add about 1/8 of the same jar of ammonia.
|
|
|
|
3. A reaction will take place creating a slightly green colored
|
|
gas. This is the chlorine gas.
|
|
|
|
4. Since chlorine gas is heavier than air, you can pour it like a
|
|
liquid. Pour the gas from the first bottle to the second one.
|
|
Make sure that you don't pour any of the liquid into the
|
|
second jar.

INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
Hydrogen gas is a dangerous and volitile substance. It cannot be
|
|
emphasized enough to go to great efforts to ensure your own safety
|
|
while doing anything with it.
|
|
|
|
If that warning does not impress you, try to remember one word:
|
|
HINDENBERG. This was the German Zeppelin that went down in flames.
|
|
It was filled with hydrogen gas. It was the reason why we use
|
|
helium gas now for our blimps and childrens' balloons.
|
|
|
|
PRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
Materials Required:
|
|
|
|
Lye
|
|
Aluminum foil
|
|
Large glass bottle
|
|
Large balloons
|
|
|
|
Process:
|
|
|
|
1. Fill the large bottle with about 2 inches of water.
|
|
|
|
2. Crumple up sheets of the aluminum foil into small balls and
|
|
stuff them into the bottle. Make them as large as you can
|
|
while still being able to get them into the bottle.
|
|
|
|
3. Place two teaspoons of lye into the bottle and mix gently with
|
|
a long wooden stick.
|
|
|
|
4. The mixture will being to boil within five to ten minutes.
|
|
The gas that is boiling off is hydrogen.
|
|
|
|
5. Once this process has started, place one of the baloons over
|
|
the neck of the bottle. This will serve as our "collecting
|
|
jar".
|
|
|
|
6. Be sure to put on a pair of gloves, prior to doing step 7, as
|
|
the reaction that is taking place generates live steam.
|
|
|
|
7. Once the balloon is full (about five to ten minutes), remove
|
|
it and tie it off.
|
|
|
|
8. Place another balloon on the jar and repeat steps 6 and 7
|
|
until no more hydrogen gas is generated.
