@@prodigygaming5102 don't buy anything like that. I was charged with manufacturing of a controlled substance for buying a box of psuedoephedrine. A cop approached me and asked me where the box was.

I used to make my own “strike anywhere” matches. Strip the striker pad, dip match head in water and roll in the phosphorus. When it dries, the matches will strike on any slightly rough, hard surface. Stone, concrete, leather shoe soles etc. Probably not very safe if you were to carry around in your pocket though. I think they could ignite off each other.
yeah, you just figured out why they moved the phosphorus to the striker pad, and _especially_ why they switched from white phosphorus. Carrying those could easily be more dangerous than carrying a Peacemaker back in the day 😅
Red phosphorus strips are easily dissolved into ethanol. My advice would be to soak the box in water, strip the thin layer of paper from the box and soak it in alcohol above 70%. Once you've dissolved it, evaporate the alcohol, and grind it. You get a uniform powder with a high degree of purity.
TH-cam Algo: You really need to check out this video Me: I haven't watched them for years though TH-cam: Don't worry here's the video right after you left off :)
I find the real-deal chemistry like this fascinating. I will never do any of it, but I watch every video... What I find most surprising, is the amount of back and forth it takes to make something "pure".... Hard to believe it can be scaled up to make industrial scale enterprise of it.
The processes are mostly the same. With solvents you distill them off and use them again. With recrystallization you reduce the left over as much as possible and reintroduce it to the next batch, etc, etc. On commercial scale this means that "the pipeworks" are going to be more complex, but once you're up and running you only have small consumptions of chemicals and a bigger electricity bill. The ones who find the most efficient method, and operates where labor and electricity is the cheapest gets the highest profit margins....
A more efficient method of extracting the red phosphorus is to first get a beaker about half full of acetone Then with scissors, cut the striker strips off the side of the matches boxes and place them in the acetone Then get a drill with a kitchen beater attached and use that to mix the acetone and strikers After about 5 minutes of mixing, all the red phosphorus will have come off the cardboard Then all you need to do is strain off the cardboard and give it a final washing to remove any residual red phosphorus Then filter the liquid and you will be left with a decent amount of red phosphorus on a filter paper which can easily be scraped off Hope this helps
I once did an experiment reducing lithium phosphate with magnesium powder. Igniting the powder mixture produces a well-behaved reaction that produces no gasses and burns slowly and completely. Interestingly, there was a red crust on the top which I later realized was the white phosphorous produced internally converted to red via the high temperatures. I didn't really know what to expect. All I knew was that you store phosphorous in water. So, dumping the remaining product into water instantly produced popping and flaming and a smoke that smelled like garlic. I moved that somewhere away to finish and didn't mess with it any more. However, I did read later that this reaction produces "some substance", that when combined with water, produces phosphorous pentoxide. Given that P05 smells like garlic, I assume that it what happened. Once the reaction with the water is spent, you are left with a sort of gray powder which I suppose is a mixture of Li and Mg oxides among other things.
Red P is actually pretty easy to get off of the boxes when they are dry using a sharp razor blade, it should all scrape cleanly off in just a couple of seconds.
Totally different phosphate phosphorus and glow stick is more akin to phosphorus and vitamins the only way you can make red phosphorus is by exposing white phosphorus to heat and sunlight
No, because he only uses the phosphorus pentachloride to make something called oxalyl chloride from oxalic acid, which in turn is made into diphenyl oxalate derivatives, which are the active ingredient in glowsticks. There is no phosphorus in your ordinary glowstick.
Except that the Methylamine and the RP work for different methods. Well, maybe he just wants to have racemic methamphetamine and also Dextromethamphetamine, but who knows!
Me: this is the channel I watch all the time, it has great videos about wonderful chemical reactions My friend: oh, what’s the chemical reaction for this video? Me: getting stuff off a box made of cardboard
Oh boy, I already have problems in Canada doing chemistry without touching any A precursor (I now have to make a declaration to border security that KCl is NOT an illegal product). I expect a visit from law enforcement eventually, so I keep everything labeled and my lab notebook in order. Red P and Methylamine is a lot of problems if you get caught (even if they are by themselves legal in such quantities). I can't believe how difficult it is just to pursue such a hobby, even if I have zero interest in drugs or explosives.
Canada used to be the place where are the ex-drug chemists from down here in the states would flee to after almost being arrested by the FBI/DEA. They would either retire or continue making stuff, usually the serious scheduled compounds like LSD and MDMA. Unfortunately, that's just how things are I guess.
Yea, you can't get very far in chemistry without hitting some chemical that has been identified as a precursor. However, you may want to read how these restriction laws work. It is basically a police-state type setup. Since the government (US) couldn't really, say, ban sulfuric acid or any of the other ever growing list of "bad" chemicals due to the fact that we still haven't *quite* sunk to the level of thought crimes, what they did was bully the seller. They did this by making the seller liable for the actions of the customer, as if a sort of cohort. And the rest is a setup so that the seller can (or must depending) report any unusual purchases, etc. to big brother. Something to keep in mind regarding the difference between purchasing and possession.
But be glad this, and the South American atrocities committed in the name of the War On Drugs, was done. Just look at the benefits. A bit of reading on wikipedia will show that cocaine is far less toxic to the brain and recovery from addiction is far more likely than from meth. So now they've apparently cut way down on cocaine supply and made domestic meth production difficult. Then, the Mexican baddies realized making meth is far easier than dealing in cocaine traffic. So now our streets are flooded with an even more destructive addictive stimulant. And I'd bet my bottom dollar that if they hadn't have done anything, the coke culture would have died down anyway as the effects were clearly on display with celebrities wrecking their lives one by one. Yes, true freedom is too dangerous for you and I, nor can we be trusted, we must live and die on our knees.
Then don't even think about coming to Germany, while red P and iodine are free to buy to anyone, our government has a hard on on heavily regulating anything that MIGHT be slightly toxic, cancerogenic or can be made into explosives. This includes regularly used chemicals such as nitric acid, various lead and nickel salts, mercury, formaldehyde, methanol, DCM, chloroform, ammonia, various hydrocarbons and most recently potassium iodide which until May 1 was classified as non-hazardous but now has the H370 statement "Damages the organs" and is thus classified toxic.

Nile, could you do a short path distillation tutorial video? I've been trying to find info behind it and how the apparatus operates but all I can find is a bunch of potheads distilling THC oil.
It is kind of the same thing as a regular distillation, you just dont have a proper condenser. I do a pseudo-short path distillation in my next video (aluminum isopropoxide). That will be posted later today.
This is an interesting idea, but there is a better suggestion. A strip of paper on which is red phosphorus should be soaked not in water but in acetone. Then the bone glue dissolves and phosphorus can be easily separated from the paper by rubbing a little with a toothbrush. In this case, there will be no cellulose fibers in phosphorus. But it will be dirty phosphorus. For further purification, this phosphorus needs to be poured with concentrated hydrochloric acid and wait a while. Then rinse several times with distilled water. As a result, you get a very pure red phosphorus with a small admixture of glass dust which does not affect the course of most reactions.
Your videos are great. Are you ever going to synthesize nile red? For those who don't know, it's actually a stain! Also ethyl sulfate would be nice, time consuming though...
Are you sure there is just red phosphorus? I knew that this is a mixture of substances. How can I know if I have just red phosphorus on that boxes? Thanks!
Think it's around 50% red P, and the other 50% is the glue (you can get off it with acetone) and shard glass for the friction (think you can get off it if you add some HCl and filter) Sorry if my english is not that good, isn't my native language
I used to do this magic trick with matchbox scrapings where you set a small pile alight, then, once it's DEFINITELY stopped burning and cooled(yes, learned this the hard way), then you rub it between your fingers and magic smoke is produced. You can even apply the phosphorus ash to your fingers, wash the burnt colour of your fingers with some water, and when it dries you can STILL get the smoke when you rub your fingers together. IDK how safe it is to do, but it's a pretty cool magic trick.
Nile use acetone on a tissue, a box cutter blade removes it quickly. also red phosphorus and potassium perchlorate make a very shock sensitive primary high explosive.

A more efficient method of extracting the red phosphorus is to first get a beaker about half full of acetone

Then get a drill with a kitchen beater attached and use that to mix the acetone and strikers

Then all you need to do is strain off the cardboard and give it a final washing to remove any residual red phosphorus
Then filter the liquid and you will be left with a decent amount of red phosphorus on a filter paper which can easily be scraped off
Hope this helps
