I am looking for research purposes, I have to do some crap for a chemistry assignment.

I was wondering, what is the process of turning glycerin into nitroglycerin?

This information will be put into my assignment in a non-dangerous way, and will not be used to make any sorts of explosive device(s).

Thanks

EDIT: lulz, found a guide, it will do. This will be one intense assignment!

So ... we don't even get to berate you for not doing your research yourself?

that's ... a welcome change actually!

I actually did a research assignment on NG back in high school. Make sure you mention Ascanio Sobrero more than that fag Nobel as all Nobel did was soak it into shit where Sobrero actually invented the shit. And be sure to state that it really is no where near as sensitive as it is pictured in movies.

Yeah but you have to give him credit for inventing plastics explosives.

By dropping glycerin drop by drop in a bath of 50% Nitric Acid, 50% Sulfuric acid, being kept cold at all times.

The NITR part of NITROglycerin should at least give you a clue...

Oh yep. Just give the ol' glycerin a squirt with some nitric acid, put the lid on, shake and throw, oh yep.

:o

Pretty keen to not blow up while uhhh, doing my assignment.

Lulz.

I'm not going to. I just wanted to know how, and using "homework assignment" was a way to get the information.

I'll stick to modifying fireworks.

You don't need to lie to us to coerce information from us. In fact, we disapprove of it.

I asked how to make it once before, and it got locked.

Refer to the thread on "lying" in S&A I think it's in.

You can make the process of nitrating glycerin a lot more safe by running to the store, and picking up some k&Y warming lubricant.

After you mix the Nitric and sulfuric acid, drop about a teaspoon of glycerin and a bunch of the K&Y in the mix.

Good luck!

hehehe:D

urm dont.

10 grrams, of friction sensitive shit, will kill a noob in 2 days,

seriously what the fuck ore you thinki ng?

make some bp, learn to respect that, then some flash, and move on.

dont go from 0 - 100 thats how people get killed

Mind tell us how you managed to make a LIQUID "friction sensitive" ?

Partial freezing.

Partial freezing.

Wouldn't it be the molecules that form rigid bonds inside the fluid as it turns into a solid that cause the friction sensitivity?

Imagine a cup of water with ice cubes on a much smaller scale.

I imagine so yes, the end result is that you still have a liquid explosive that (how much?) more sensitive.

...

haven't you seen "vertical limit"? :p

Still utterly pointless to make an already sensitive explosive into something even more sensitive...

Oh well :o

strong oxidiser, deisel fuel, Fill bottle with newspaper(balled)

Pour in some deiseil, cap, and wait. 10mins, shake.

Open cap, leave 5 mins. Get the oxidiser, wrap in another newspaper ball, stuff in.

Drill/melt hole in lid, get 1foot of visco, push through, hole, with 2inchis showin, force rest though into bottle. cap.

leave 30 mins, light and hold!(dont really hold)

Not shure what exactly will, happen, never done it.

if you try to do it, film it.

How do you turn nitroglycerin into glycerin?

Apply Tin and HCl to reduce it to glycerine triamine

Then (of the top of my head) convert it into a diazonium salt (using sodiumnitrite)
(Not too sure if you can turn glycerine into a diazonium salt though, I think it requires an aromatic system)

Spontaneous reaction with water would leave you with glycerine

I'd hold off on the compliments, I seriously doubt you can make aliphatic diazonium compounds :(

Most college classes allow students to use a laptop for taking notes... so do so... and use the wifi plus an IM program to type out text messages on a full size keyboard.
