! KING ARTHUR'S DEMOLITION ARTICLE #1!
+------------------------------------+
LIKE ALL CHEMISTS I MUST ADVISE
YOU ALL TO TAKE THE GREATEST CARE AND
CAUTION WHEN YOU ARE DOING THIS. EVEN
IF YOU HAVE MADE THIS STUFF BEFORE.
THIS FIRST ARTICLE WILL GIVE YOU
INFORMATION ON MAKING NITROGLYERIN, THE
BASIC INGREDIENT IN A LOT OF EXPLOSIVES
SUCH AS STRAIGHT DYNAMITES, AND GELETIN
DYNAMITES.
--------------------------------------
MAKING NITROGLYCERIN
--------------------------------------
1. FILL A 75-MILLILITER BEAKER TO
THE 13 ML. LEVEL WITH FUMING RED NITRIC
ACID, OF 98% PURE CONCENTRATION.
2. PLACE THE BEAKER IN AN ICE BATH
AND ALLOW TO COOL BELOW ROOM TEMP.
3. AFTER IT HAS COOLED, ADD TO IT
THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT OF FUMING
SULFERIC ACID (99% H2SO4). IN OTHER
WORDS, ADD TO THE NOW-COOL FUMING
NITRIC ACID 39 ML. OF FUMING SULFERIC
ACID. WHEN MIXING ANY ACIDS, ALWAYS DO
IT SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY TO AVOID
SPLATTERING.
4. WHEN THE TWO ARE MIXED, LOWER
THIER TEMP. BY ADDING MORE ICE TO THE
BATH, ABOUT 10-15 DEGREES CENTIGRADE.
(USE A MERCURY-OPERATED THERMOMETER)
5. WHEN THE ACID SOLUTION HAS
COOLED TO THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE, IT
IS READY FOR THE GLYCERIN. THE GLYCERIN
MUST BE ADDED IN SMALL AMOUNTS USING A
MEDICINE DROPPER. (READ THIS STEP
ABOUT 10 TIMES!) GLYCERIN IS ADDED
SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY (I MEAN CAREFUL!)
UNTIL THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE ACID IT
COVERED WITH IT.
6. THIS IS A DANGEROUS POINT SINCE
THE NITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE AS SOON
AS THE GLYCERIN IS ADDED. THE NITRATION
WILL PRODUCE HEAT, SO THE SOLUTION MUST
BE KEPT BELOW 30 DEGREES CENTIGRADE! IF
THE SOLUTION SHOULD GO ABOVE 30
DEGREES, IMMEDIATELY DUMP THE SOLUTION
INTO THE ICE BATH! THIS WILL INSURE
THAT IT DOES NOT GO OFF IN YOUR FACE!
7. FOR HTE FIRST TEN MINUTES OF
NITRATION, THE MIXTURE SHOULD BE GENTLY
STIRRED. IN A NORMAL REACTION THE
NITROGLYCERIN WILL FORMAS A LAYER ON
TOP OF THE ACID SOLUTION, WHILE THE
SULFERIC ACID WILL ABSORB THE EXCESS
WATER.
8. AFTER THE NITRATION HAS TAKEN
PLACE, AND THE NITROGLYCERIN HAS FORMED
ON THE TOP OF THE SOLUTION, THE ENTIRE
BEAKER SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED SLOWLY AND
CAREFULLY TO ANOTHER BEAKER OF WATER.
WHEN THIS IS DONE THE NITROGLYCERIN
WILL SETTLE AT THE BOTTEM SO THE OTHER
ACIDS CAN BE DRAINED AWAY.
9. AFTER REMOVING AS MUCH ACID AS
POSIBLE WITHOUT DISTURBING THE
NITROGLYCERIN, REMOVE THE NITROGLYCERIN
WITH AN EYEDROPPER AND PLACE IT IN A
BICARBONATE OF SODA (SODIUM BICARBONATE
IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW) SOLUTION. THE
SODIUM IS AN ALKALAI AND WILL
NUETRALIZE MUCH OF THE ACID REMAINING.
THIS PROCESS SHOULD BE REPEATED AS MUCH
AS NECESARRY USING BLUE LITMUS PAPER TO
CHECK FOR THE PRESENCE OF ACID. THE
REMAINING ACID ONLY MAKES THE NITROGLY-
CERIN MORE UNSTABLE THAN IT ALREADY
IS.
10. FINALLY! THE FINAL STEP IS TO
REMOVE THE NITROGLYCERIN FROM THE BI-
CARBONATE. HIS IS DONE WITH AND EYE-
DROPPER, SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. THE
USUAL TEST TO SEE IF NITRATION HAS BEEN
SUCCESSFUL IS TO PLACE ONE DROP OF THE
NITROGLYCERIN ON METAL AND IGNITE IT.
IF IT IS TRUE NITROGLYCERIN IT WILL
BURN WITH A CLEAR BLUE FLAME.
** CAUTION **
NITRO IS VERY SENSATIVE TO DECOMPOSI-
TION, HEATING DROPPING, OR JARRING, AND
MAY EXPLODE IF LEFT UNDISTURBED AND
COOL.
