Here is a faily detailed synth to make Acetone Peroxide (AP). Note this is a high explosive and should NOT be made by any inexperienced people.
Materials
- 30% Hydrochloric acid
- 3% or 6% H2o2
- Acetone
- Ammonia or bi-carb solution
Equipment
- 60ml syringe
- Two 30ml syringes
- Two glass jars
- Fridge
- Thermometer
- Coffee filters
First put the H2o2, acetone and a glass jar in the freezer for an hour or so to bring the temp down to around 0 degress Celsius.
Measure out 25ml of acetone using a 30ml syringe and put it in the chilled jar. Then add 75ml of 6% H2o2 or 150ml of 3% using the 60ml syringe (adjust according to purity) then put it back in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
Next measure out 20ml of 30%HCl in the other 30ml syringe and add it SLOWLY! and swish it around a little then put it in the fridge overnight.
After 12-18 hours there will be little white crystals on the bottom, these are AP so be careful!
Take a coffee filter and put it over the second jar, next pour all the liquid and AP into the filter and let it drain through leaving a whitish paste on the filter.
Pour either ammonia or bi-carb solution over the white paste (wet AP) until it stops bubbling and frothing.
Take the filter away from the jar and leave it to sit on some newspaper in the air to dry out for a while. When it's dry it will look like a white powder.
Notes
Try to keep it as cool as posible while doing the synth...
Don't rush it!
This is a high explosive and should be treated with repect!
It's heat and friction sensitive and cannot be stored safely for more than a week even when it's stored under water.
When it's dry it's ready for use.
