Apathetic Frequent Poster	posted November 05, 1999 03:00 PM I want to try to make potassium chlorate from lye. To do that that I need to bubble chlorine through lye. I read that I should use sani-flush and bleach, but I can't find sani flush. In the same book it also says I can use hydrochloric acid and bleach. I tried this and it worked a little but it wasn't strong enugh to bubble through the lye. Thanks
poison Frequent Poster	posted November 05, 1999 06:30 PM Can you post the proccess of making potassium chlorate thrue the lye? Chlorine gas can be generated many ways ammonia and bleach make chlorine gas . -Poison
Blaze Frequent Poster	posted November 05, 1999 11:51 PM also HCl & KMnO4 = chlorine gas but probly no better than what you tried
Kalium unregistered	posted November 06, 1999 06:52 AM also you can use MnO2(Manganesedioxyd)&HCL.MnO2 is easy to obtain from Batteries.

If you combine ShockIt (a 66% pure chloranating compund for pools) with a petrolium product. I can't remember what exactly was mixed the first time, but I know that it generasted enough chlorine gas to fill a 12X20 room. ------------------ Information needs to be free- kill the f*ckers that try to stop it's publication!
megalomania Administrator	posted November 06, 1999 09:19 PM No Sani-Flush?!? It is a very good way. I suppose I better research other ways, I know they are out there, but I use the Sani-Flush as it is the best so I never bothered with other ways... ------------------ Visit Megalomania's Explosives and Stuff at http://surf.to/megalomania
nbk2000 Moderator	posted November 06, 1999 10:57 PM Here's a process for making chlorine from the 1870s, back before anything was high-tech. Pour hydrochloric acid diluted with an equal weight of water onto half its weight of HTH (shock it, calcium hypochlorite). Chlorine is immediately produced in quantity, much more rapidly if heated. Pass it through a small amount of water to remove excess HCL gas, and dry with calcium chloride. ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them." www.50megs.com/nbk2000
megalomania Administrator	posted November 08, 1999 03:11 AM Ahh, thats the one I was thinking of, saved me the trouble of researching it on end. However, when you bubble chlorine gas into water it will make more hydrochloric acid, so it may not get rid of any that way. ------------------ Visit Megalomania's Explosives and Stuff at http://surf.to/megalomania
Apathetic Frequent Poster	posted November 08, 1999 10:03 PM I've tried the maganese dioxide + hcl and it worked great! It made pressure strong enugh to bubble through the lye. But I still haven't made the potassium chlorate yet because I need to find some more batteries so I can make some more chlorine to neturalize the lye.
megalomania Administrator	posted November 09, 1999 12:11 PM Oh, umm, there is no potassium in lye, its sodium hydroxide. From it you will make sodium chlorate. ------------------ Visit Megalomania's Explosives and Stuff at http://surf.to/megalomania
Apathetic Frequent Poster	posted November 09, 1999 09:14 PM Is sodium chlorate in "solidox"? Thanks
nbk2000 Moderator	posted November 09, 1999 10:47 PM Yes. Do you know of a source? I haven't been able to find it where I live recently. ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them." www.50megs.com/nbk2000
