This explosive is a phenol dirivative. It is toxic and
|
|
explosive compounds made from picric acid are poisonous if
|
|
inhaled, ingested, or handled and absorbed through the skin.
|
|
The toxicity of this explosive restrict's its use due to the
|
|
fact that over exposure in most cases causes liver and kidney
|
|
failure and sometimes death if immediate treatment is not
|
|
obtained.
|
|
|
|
This explosive is a cousin to T.N.T. but is more powerful than
|
|
it's cousin. It's the first explosive used militarily and was
|
|
adopted in 1888 as an artillery shell filler. Originally this
|
|
explosive was derived from coal tar but thanx to modern
|
|
chemistry you can make this explosive easily in approximately
|
|
three hours from acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin purified).
|
|
|
|
This procedure involves dissolving the acetylsalicylic acid in
|
|
warm sulfuric acid and adding sodium or potassium nitrate which
|
|
nitrates the purified aspirin and the whole mixture drowned in
|
|
water and filtered to obtain the final product. This explosive
|
|
is called trinitrophenol. Care should be taken to ensure that
|
|
this explosive is stored in glass containers. Picric acid will
|
|
form dangerous salts when allowed to contact all metals exept
|
|
tin and aluminum. These salts are primary explosive and are
|
|
super sensitive. They also wall cause the detonation of the
|
|
picric acid.
|
|
|
|
Next needed is aspirin. The cheaper brands work best but
|
|
buffered brands should be avoided. Powder these tablets to a
|
|
fine consistancy. To extract the acetylsalicylic acid from
|
|
this powder place this powder in methyl alcohol and stir
|
|
vigorously. Not all of the powder will dissolve. Filter this
|
|
powder out of the alcohol. Again wash this powder that was
|
|
filtered out of the alcohol with more alcohol but with a lesser
|
|
amount than the first extraction. Again filter the remaining
|
|
powder out of the alcohol. Combine the now clear alcohol and
|
|
allow it to evaporate in a pyrex dish. When the alcohol has
|
|
evaporated there will be a surprising amount of crystals in the
|
|
bottom of the pyrex dish.
|
|
|
|
Take fourty grams of these purified acetylsalicylic acid
|
|
crystals and dissolve them in 150 ml. of sulfuric acid (98%,
|
|
specify gravity 1.8) and heat to dissolve all the crystals.
|
|
This heating can be done in a common electric frying pan with
|
|
the thermostat set on 150 deg. F. and filled with a good
|
|
cooking oil.
|
|
|
|
When all the crystals have dissolved in the sulfuric acid
|
|
take the beaker, that you've done all this dissolving in (600
|
|
ml.), out of the oil bath. This next step will need to be done
|
|
with a very good ventilation system (it is a good idea to do
|
|
any chemistry work such as the whole procedure and any
|
|
procedure in this file with good ventilation or outside).
|
|
Slowly start adding 58 g. of sodium nitrate or 77 g. of
|
|
potassium nitrate to te acid mixture in the beaker very slowly
|
|
in small portions with vigorous stirring. A red gas (nitrogen
|
|
trioxide) will be formed and this should be avoided. The
|
|
mixture is likely to foam up and the addition should be stopped
|
|
until the foaming goes down to prevent the overflow of the acid
|
|
mixture in the beaker. When the sodium or potassium nitrate has
|
|
been added the mixture is allowed to cool somewhat (30-
|
|
40 deg. C.). The solution should then be dumped slowly into
|
|
twice it's volume of crushed ice and water. The brilliant
|
|
yellow crystals will form in the water. These should be
|
|
filtered out and placed in 200 ml. of boiling distilled water.
|
|
This water is allowed to cool and then the crystals are then
|
|
filtered out of the water. These crystals are a very, very pure
|
|
trinitrophenol. These crystals are then placed in a pyrex dish
|
|
and places in an oil bath and heated to 80 deg. C. and held
|
|
there for 2 hours. This temperature is best maintained and
|
|
checked with a thermometer. The crystals are then powdered in
|
|
small quantities to a face powder consistency. These powdered
|
|
crystals are then mixed with 10% by weight wax and 5% vaseline
|
|
which are to melting temperature and poured into the crystals.
|
|
The mixing is best done by kneading together with gloved hands.
|
|
This explosive should have a useful plsticity range of 0-40
|
|
deg. C.. The detonation velocity should be around 7000 m/sec..
|
|
It is toxic to handle but simply made from common ingredients
|
|
and is suitable for most demolition work requiring a moderately
|
|
high detonation velocity. It is very suitable for shaped
|
|
charges and some steel cutting charges. It is not as good an
|
|
explosive as C-4 or other R.D.X. based explosives but it is
|
|
much easier to make. Again this explosive is very toxic and
|
|
should be treated with great care. AVOID HANDLING BARE-HANDED,
|
|
BREATHING DUST AND FUMES, AVOID ANY CHANCE OF INGESTION.
|
|
AFTER UTENSILS ARE USED FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF THIS EXPLOSIVE
|
|
RETIRE THEM FROM THE KITCHEN AS THE CHANCE OF POISONING IS NOT
|
|
WORTH IT, IF MANUFACTURED AS ABOVE, AHOULD BE SAFE IN STORAGE
|
|
BUT WITH ANY HOMEMADE EXPLOSIVE STORAGE OS NOT RECOMENDED AND
|
|
EXPLOSIVES SHOULD BE MADE UP AS NEEDED.
