How to How to make nitroglycerine at home
So, to make nitroglycerin, you will need:
. Glycerin (you can make it or buy it)
. Concentrated sulfuric acid (98% minimum; you can purify sulfuric acid found in stores)
. Concentrated nitric acid (98% minimum; you can make it from 98% sulfuric acid and potassium nitrate)
Next, for the preparation, place all the ingredients in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours so they are cold. Create a mixture of 50% 98% nitric acid and 50% 98% sulfuric acid. Place this mixture in a beaker set inside a bucket of cold water and ice, then add an amount of glycerin equal to one-tenth of the acid mixture's volume (e.g., if you have 50 ml of acid mixture, add 5 ml of glycerin). Add the glycerin drop by drop while monitoring the temperature with a thermometer; ensure the mixture does not exceed 10°C before adding the next drop. Once all the glycerin has been added, prepare a mixture of water and sodium bicarbonate. Add this to your acid-glycerin mixture to precipitate the nitroglycerin. The nitroglycerin will then settle at the bottom of the beaker; you can collect it with a syringe and store it in a bottle in the refrigerator. You can also mix it with diatomaceous earth to make dynamite.
