Beginner level?! You knocked it out of the park buddy! Fantastic video. Those crystals at the end were beautiful. 😍 and thanks for the shout out I appreciate it.
Thank you very much. I am glad you liked it :-)
@@call.me.heisenberg2137Bro, can you make the electromagnet from Breaking Bad? Can it really damage mobile phone memory, computer memory, and ricin?
@@call.me.heisenberg2137Bro, can you make the electromagnet from Breaking Bad? Is it really possible to damage mobile phone memory, computer memory, and ricin? Is it really that toxic and what is it made of? I like to watch these videos.
Hope I'm able watch a few of these, and motor oil quarts,gallons
Nice straightforward workup after you overcame the contact issues and lots of clear needles upon crystallization. Another tool in my toolbox, thanks!
Holy shite! I'm surprised H20 isn't illegal in the EU!
Ammonium Nitrate is purchasable by those who have a legit need for it
"You can make brown gas from H20. So it should be banned" -Politicians
Don't worry. One day you'll need a special permit to buy that too.
It will be soon lol
@@Lardum everyone has a legit use for it. Its fertilizer, not u238
Conc nitric useful for wart removal :-) and for etching metals, all good fun. Love these chemistry tutorials, feels just like being back in class, good times of joy :-).
Great production value and idea! Very useful :)
Thank you very much.
Impressive stuff. Real nice video you've made here
Very satisfying result! There's nothing quite like a successful rebel. ;-)
Im intrigued about how long this channel will be allowed to exist on YT. Many similar ones have been closed down for no real reason; everyone wanting to do "evil stuff" will be able to find this knowledge elsewere anyway. So since you seem to make quality content, I wish you the best and hope you'll keep the vids coming. At least you just got a new sub.
itll remain because i said so.
Eloquence and useful. Thank you.
Those sweater sleeves poking out look very much like Nurdrage sweater sleeves. Great Video by the way!
Just found your channel... Good stuff 👍👍
To protect your vaccum pump use a cold trap or use a vacuum tap adapter that turns any tap into a vacuum
A much better approach is to dissolve the double salt fertilizer in water. Once it's dissolved, the double salt separates into ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate in solution (no longer a double-salt). You find out how much ammonium sulfate is in the fertilizer and then react it with calcium nitrate which will cause a double replacement reaction between calcium nitrate and ammonium sulfate to form ammonium nitrate and calcium sulfate. If you were precise with your measurements you should end up with a solution that contains a ton of ammonium nitrate with some calcium sulfate in it. 1L of room temperature distilled water can dissolve only 2.55g calcium sulfate and 2.34g at 80C. And 1L of room temperature distilled water can dissolve 1920g ammonium nitrate and 7400g at 80C (pretty crazy solubility). Meaning once calcium nitrate and ammonium sulfate are mixed you get insoluble in water calcium sulfate that is a huge pain to filter but I bet it can be done with a multilayer cheesecloth and some hard work and then a gravity or vacuum filtration to remove all calcium sulfate till you get a clear solution, you then just evaporate the water off and boom you get lots of ammonium nitrate
How did you make these crystals at the end ? And should i just let it dry or do you got a better soloution ?
Great video, keep it up! Even actual Kalkammonsalpeter (which is hard to get anyways) contains some sulfate nowadays which is kind of annoying. I think it's like 5 % sulfate because you need extra sulfur in the soil due to less air pollution than there was some decades ago.
That such substances are getting harder and harder to obtain, the fault of some idiots who were of the opinion that they had to nitrate all sorts of things and then blow up half the of the neighborhood forest. Of course, all of this would also be filmed and uploaded to TH-cam. In times of terror madness, it was only a matter of time before it was banned, see sulfuric acid in the EU.
Oddly enough, I prefer the ChemPlayer synthesized voice over this approach.
Is this the same guys as chem player? Haven't seen those guys in years. Missed tham though.
I enjoyed it very entertaining
I'd definitely recommend converting it to potassium nitrate. NH4NO3 can be quite dangerous and has caused many tragedies… On the plus side, one can also get ammonia solution in that process, so it isn't even wasteful.
That very cool. Cannot understand why people are so afraid of the gov of Nitrate salts. Yes, you can make explosives but you can also make Nitric acid for Aqua Regas to dissolve metals like gold. I am only interested in Aqua Regas making.
Hey, very informative and interesting video! U definetly got a new sub :)
I still have a question on your hot plate. Iam planning on buying the same, so I would really like to hear your opinion about the hot plate with the magnetic stirrer. At the time its about 120€ on amazon. Would you say its worth the money? What are the pros/cons?
Would be really thankfull to hear your opinion
Greetings, Dominik
Awesome video! I have the same hotplate. Subbed.
I also have the same thermometer, lol.
Couldn't help but watch again.... Dude i got a serious case of Buchner envy lol
btw is Ammonium Sulfate used in this video a special brand of product that already contains some portion of Ammonium Nitrate in it? Because getting AN just by distilling (relatively) pure ammonium sulfate without reacting with any nitric salts like calcium nitrate is impossible. You need to provide compounds for nitrate ions (KNO3, Ca(NO3)2) and ammonium ion from ammonium sulfate or ammonia water.
What tts is this? Are you manually tuning this?
Nice video !
EU isn't quite as restricted as you imagine.
A lot of impure chemicals are available in bulk for agricultural use.
Mostly it is annoying that you have to buy 25kg Contaminated instead of 500g Pure.
More work, more Disposal/Storage etc.
Where can you get it then ?
I jumped when the solution came nearing the edge of the hot plate at 9:40.
Would perhaps be easier to dissolve in water and mix with calcium nitrate?
Another way would be to dissolve the fertilizer in as little hot water as possible and precipitating the sulphate with barium or calcium nitrate. The solution should then hold little else but NH4NO3.
This is the A.S.S. method of getting ammonium nitrate.
:-) LOL...
For how long did you heat it?
This is great
very very cool
What Filter did you use ?
wow! What you can do with a simple lab. I would love to own some glassware. A few round bottom, filtration head, and a condenser or two. I would be set. Cant forget a hot-plate and beaker. I have vacuums covered. One day...
Is this also possible with simple spiritus ?
I usto work in a fertiliser production plant. That stuff is horrible if you breathe it in its like a bad case of astmah. And dries your nose out makes it bleed. A few of the lads had clothes set on fire after leaving them in their wash basket with damp towels etc. None of mine ever did though.
Why don‘ you use a Soxhlet extractor to concentrate the solution?
Its good
But you didn't say anything about what we can do with that crystal
Any way thank you
If we add .....nitric acid and ammonia to ammonium sulfate, ...won't it turn into ammonium nitrate?
Will 96% ethanol suffice or not?
Did you yield those two kilograms out of the five kilogram bag
Why not just directly use calcium nitrate or another nitrate salt for nitric acid?
Looks like a job for Mr Soxlhet Extractor
For making HNO3, why bother? Just put the NH4NO3/(NH4)2SO4 mixture in your flask or retort and add the H2SO4. The nitrate will react to make HNO3 and the sulfate will just sit there...and join the additional sulfate that's produced: 2NH4NO3 + H2SO4 ---> 2HNO3 + (NH4)2SO4.
hmm great excess of ammoniumsulfate can react with nitric acid because they used it to remove NOx and nitric acid from spend mixed acids (sulfuric acid,Nitric acid).
It's not really that hard to get ammonium nitrate based fertilizer in EU at all, at least where I live. Even with restrictions, it seems many small resellers simply dont know about it and don't realize what it is other then a good fertilizer. It would be pretty damn hard to completely restrict its use even for domestic use as it's just an great fertilizer. It seems I can even order 600 kg big bags if I wanted to, no problem at all. I live in a country where the agro industry is massive so in the small agri shops that are everywhere in the agricultural towns, noone really thinks twice when you buy a 25 kg bag. The town I grew up in the local shop even repacked it in smaller bags under their own name to sell for domestic use. People use it legitimately to green their grass fields where they let horses, goats, sheep or cattle graze. I guess if you order a 25 kg bag and you live in the big city, that will raise some suspicion though.
Go to Poland AN is cheap here as dirt. 1$/kg if u buy 5kg at once. It gets even cheaper with higher quantities (0.8$/kg for 25kg bag).
I'm not sure what do you need it for. But I use it as a fertilizer and to make sodium nitrate (for yellow flares).
can you link me the sources that you buy it from?
@@karolus28 I recommend Allegro, just translate the "AN fertilizer" to Polish, sort by price and choose what offer fits you best (I don't want to recommend any particular seller). Just watch out for any additives.
@@caesarcch3879 Ok, let me start with the fact that I actually live in Poland, but was just curious. I searched "saletra amonowa, azotan amonu itp itd" many times but all of the stuff says 25-27% nitrogen (in relation to AN, the amount of AN is of course bigger). Buying pure AN seems to be forbidden (only for companies, not for individuals) and this document says so(page 16) eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32019R1148&from=PL
@@karolus28 yeah you are right, it's definitely not pure. But you can find 34%N which should translate to ~93,5% purity. The rest is probably mostly epsom salt + anty caking agent. You can do a recrystallization to increase purity.
I would send you a link with the offer but I don't know how xD
@@caesarcch3879 oh, I thought you were buying pure AN and was shocked. The only offer that sells pure AN is this shorturl.at/giFK3 but it's expensive and only in small packs(I think they use it for aquarium stuff or something idk). Here is a 34 one shorturl.at/lnGN3 or this shorturl.at/bgnK7.
online shop in my country still sell PURE ammonium nitrate even without a lisence
i think you could crystallize it in water too since ammonium nitrate has solubility off 118g/100ml (0°c) and 1024 g/100 ml (100 °C) but ammonium sulfate has solubility of 70g/100ml(0°c) 103g/100ml(100°c). crystallize it few rimes and you should have somewhat pure ammonium nitrate i think
Unfortunately, it crystalizes as a double salt in water. I've tried it but really didn't work well.
@@emmepombar3328 oh well. i found a shop where they sell pure ammonium nitrate for 1.20$ 2kg so i don't really need this anymore but thanks anyways
ammonium sulfate aa ...if we add ammonia and nitric acid ...do we get ammonium nitrate?
@@kemalk-gt7cu pretty sure that yea
@@revolution5547 so how pure is it?
Methanol is used in many products. Its a common ingredient in windshield wiper fluid, used as freeze protection, also used in engine additives, such as HEET, fuel additive, which helps to remove water from gasoline. Used to make 300 ton a day of methanol as a side product in the synthesis of anhydrous ammonia, produced 1200 ton a day anhydrous ammonia.
Germany banned methanol and Poland too :DD:D:D:D:
you can buy methanol from ebay in Germany regardlessly
You could have used a mortar and pestle to minimize the dust in the air I bet.
Isn't methanol used in snowglobes? If I'm dead wrong don't hit me I bleed
Is there anyway to tell how much water is left in you AN crystals? I always have trouble drying them
Aren't you supposed to not splash anything, i thought it was supposed to be liquid added to solid not the other way around
I will practice your "unique" pouring process...LOL. Cheers
Вместо того что бы купить сразу нормальную аммиячную селитру.
More videos
I feel like this Channel should be called "Say My Name!"
BTW: a Common automotive product HEET in the yellow bottle is 99%+ CH₃OH... I don't know if they sell it in the EU, but I suspect they do, or something similar. It is used as a fuel line anti-freeze for gasoline engines.
No you can't buy methanol OTC in Germany. The closest thing to methanol you can buy is biodiesel sold as lamp oil.
I strongly assume that the police decided to visit you after that video.
Wouldn't it be easier to magnetize air or nitrogen and purify that? From what little I understand
You mean the Birkeland-Eyde process. It is much harder to do because you need a hot electric arc. It is also very inefficient and produces only small amounts.
germany rise ! christian rise ! fantastic video !
Thermometer to monitor
kinda funny enough, it was much cheapee to get pure 99,9% methanol than pure 96% ethanol (i'm from slovakia)
Dony know if I trust a chemist ,who don't powderize the pearls of saltpeter
The TTS is kinda off putting tbh
no offence to OP but TTs might be better than heavy german accent
Hahaha, wow. You actually work professional in contrast to some young nerds on TH-cam.
Why is everything banned in the EU. Like are you guys even allowed to buy table salt?
Well its and explosive precursor/explosive, and there have been issues with people making political statements with it or using it as a part of a religious service.
Table salt is unrestricted but it is official recommendation that you don't use too much of to avoid high blood pressure
No such thing as an explosive political statement.
It's for the same reason guns are forbiden.( Lots of communists).
@@georgegeorgakopoulos5956 yes, of course, communists are the reasons guns are so heavily restricted xD
Jes Its forbidden but you can get it 😂

When are you people in britain and europe going to rise up and throw off the yoke? Grow a pair and take your freedom back 👍
wow what a waste of time, effort, money and chemicals. Incredible!
Why waste? Ammonium nitrate ist very hard to get
@@Pyrokartoffel i believe his claim was to use Sulfuric acid along with the ammonium nitrate to make Nitric acid.
The second thing in the double salt he was wasting time on was already a sulphate. So why bother separating the two, just leave it and use Sulphuric acid and distill the nitric acid off that formed. Dump the rest. Don't need to separate it
Really, cant even talk? Sick of these bot accounts
Flammable liquids should never be heated on a hot plate. A recipe for a fire if I ever saw one. Use a water bath if your solvent boils below 100°C.
Don’t use a rotary vacuum pump with volatile liquids without a cold trap, use a water jet vacuum pump instead.
This whole video is riddled with poor technique and dangerous practices.

There are good reasons why Ammonium Nitrate is banned in the EU I question why you want to make it.
He mentions that in the video, he wants to make nitric acid which is hard to get in the eu
What reasons? That's ridiculous. It's easier to get C-4 than fertilizer.
Stupid comment, there is no reason other than the illegitimate fears of idiot politicians.
HOW ABOUT SOME MERCURY FULMINATE TO GO WITH THIS????
DON'T FORGET THE NITRO GLYCERIN EITHER???
dude no hobbyist is stupid enough to make nitroglycerin
