While on the subject, I might as well ask my question about AP and get it over with

Since there are so many variations on making AP and it seems like everyone and their dog has their own method for making it.. I was wondering what the porportions for making it would be if I had 3% peroxide, acetone, 30%hcl.

What would be the most accurate ratio of volumes for it? (I dont have a grad cylin yet)

the best matirial I know is a spent shell casing like a .308 or a 7.62mm. I sore AP in a film canister cuz its air tight, but never more than a week, AP decomposes rapidly.

to Dr. D the way I tried with the most yield was I took a pint of 3% h2o2 and boild it down to about 60ml, it made it stronger
(I had a hard time finding 30%) plus 50ml acetone and I use 3ml concetrated sulfuric. it filled a 7.62 shell casing. does any one out there know a way with a higher yeild?

you didnt make the H2O2 stronger infact you weakened it.
there is a very exacting and dangerous procedure for concentrating H2O2.
you have to clean out your GLASSware with nitric acid, and some other stuff.
it has to be free of organic materials such as metals.
then you have to put it under vaccum and distill it.
it is very dangerous.
I have never tried it.
I think megalomania knows a link to a page that the primary subject is concentrating H2O2.
I saw it on his old bravenet forum.

You can also concentrate it by freezing...
water freezes before h202 so you can freeze the water and take it out of the h202.
I think the max concentration you can reach with this method is 53 to 54%

That guy has really done some work on his page now that I briefly checked it out, everything you could ever desire about hydrogen peroxide that you can find on the internet is at http://webhome.idirect.com/~earlcp/
