Synthesizing and purifying Potassium Nitrate at Home
Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) is much used in low explosives and incendiaries, (black powder for example) and will find much uses as oxidizer in igniters and such. This is in the synthesis section, but it was more of purification then anything else. You still need a source of nitrate. In this guide the source is a stable in an old farm.
You are going to learn the reason behind Potassium Nitrate growing on the stable walls and also how to purify Potassium Nitrate when you find dirty, impure nitrate from the walls. If you enjoy creating chemicals on your own rather than purchasing it, you are going to enjoy reading this well illustrated guide.
