Bottles from an Old Dump Site (Where to Find Free Glassware for Your Home Lab pt.1)
Просмотров 6823 года назад
This video shows how I repurpose old medicine bottles, that were found on bottle dump/dump site. It should show you one of many ways you can acquire glassware for a lab of your own. This glassware is hardly comparable to a professional one, due to possible high amount of contaminants, but is well sufficient for a non-professional home chemist, like me. I hope you like the video! Have a nice one.
Extraction of Nitrates from Soil (The Old Way of Producing Saltpeter)
Просмотров 197 тыс.3 года назад
This extraction is quite a hard nut to crack and needs trying, but it's practically free, and yields nitrates! For anyone that can't buy them in store (anymore) it's a great option and a skill to learn. I hope you like the video! Have a nice one.

    Love the Nitrogen cycle diagram! I was confused by the NH3 + O2 step, because I would expect nitrogen oxidation to use water as a source of oxygen too, but I guess it's just a simplification, just some mix of N oxidation and phosphorylation, enough to make the conservation of mass intuitive. Is that the idea? Great video as well, I have been so curious about nitrate extraction from organic sources recently, this was a great result.

    Animal-sourced nitrates will have a lot of Ca, leading to the isolation of Calcium nitrate. I saw a Cody's Lab video where he added wood ash to the crude liquid/soil mixture to precipitate out CaCO3, and make sure that you isolate mostly Na and K nitrates. See if adding that step would help

    Also put the manure in a flour sack or pillow case like a giant tea bag.. saves a lot of filtering..

  • @DudeMan-v6r
    @DudeMan-v6r 11 месяцев назад

    I recommend making the ley of wood ash before even collecting the manure.. the wood ash converts all other nitrates "CaNO3 NaNO3 NHNO3 etc" into KNO3 i believe your yeild wouldve been much higher the ley of wood ash is a very important step.. you can actually watch the sodium and calcium fall out of the solution after that it becomes clearer

    Scoop out, dissolve in water, let the water thru a coffee filter and then boil of the water and you left with good salpeter..... They do it everywhere in Europa in the middle ages..... Pork farms, cow farms and so on...

    A filter aid like Aerosil (fumed sillica) could make the filtering process more practical. Boiling with activated carbon is a good trick to take colored organic impurities out.

    Hi Pete. What I learned from ancient times was, that nitrates are highly soluble in water and a stable with earthen floor where the urine goes and maisonry walls that peak out of the soil will evaporate water from the walls, soaking it up from the ground, and the nitrates will not evaporate but build white crystals on the lower part of the wall, not washed away by rain So below the rabbit cage is not ideal, where rain will wash away the nitrates, but it will climb up a wooden beam that peaks out of thr soil.

    • @Preyhawk81
      @Preyhawk81 9 месяцев назад

      The real saltpeter was had where clay with sand and chalk the clay is binder but let less air flow. And they added some granite stones. When sun shines the grante gets hot and helps evaporate the water. And it is very good when no wind disturbe the walls because the bacterias not only need ammonia but CO2 too they can only assimilate the CO2 from air. An chinese study showed the growth maximum would be in an 70%CO2 and 30% O2 atmosphere so you see how important that is.

  • @ludditeneaderthal
    @ludditeneaderthal Год назад

    My suggestion for the gross extraction from your soil: rather than making mud tea, you use the perforated bucket, filter, wood ash, nitre bearing earth column technique. Pour multiple loads of boiling water through the column, resulting in a solids free weak solution of the water soluble materials in your soil, less those materials that bond to the wood ash. THEN worry about concentrating. This is the traditional method of nitrate recovery. You got a very low yield by leaving unclaimed material at multiple steps, due to having far too much solids throughout your extraction process.

    Ok, that was a terrifically poorly planned and executed video. Also, NEVER USE TRAMPOLINE TEXT IN A VIDEO AGAIN. Are you about fifteen years old? This video looks very much like something a high school kid would make as a class project, right down to the missing and/or stupidly misspelled words. I am 99.9% certain that I could easily and quickly Google up ways to poke a hole in most of your facts and fix every one of the problems you had. Saltpeter has been extracted and manufactured in massive amounts for hundreds and hundreds of years to make black powder with, by people around the world. The process is simple and well-documented. Most of those people had no labs, nor glassware, not even clean environments to work in, either - so it is definitely not that hard to accomplish. Try again.

      Yep. I didn't watch to the end, so I don't know what he ended up with - but I doubt if it contained much if any potassium nitrate. He kept filtering and throwing away the liquids and keeping the solids - exactly backwards.
