Recristalization is used to break the cristals formed and disolve the contained acids wich may make your mixture decay over time and make it even more sensitive. Also, it removes low nitration leftovers, like Eritrol dinitrate or trinitrate, thus adding more power to the final power.
@DamersenNetwerk True if you're going to use it pretty soon however when your neutralizing the crystals there is acid trapped inside the crystals that do not show up on your ph test, therefore recrystallizing removes that acid and would definately be preferred if you were going to store it for quite some time.
@DamersenNetwerk the etn crystals still contain some acid that can't be neutralized while they crystals are intact. Once you dissolve them, you neutralize the solution and then recrystallize the fully neutral product. This is only necessary if you don't plan on using the etn fairly quickly (within a couple of months)
@paintedbishop Excellent question. The soda can in question was actually cut then taped back together to make it smaller. If you look closely you can see that the can is actually about 1.5in in diameter. Lol, optical illusion.
@dawson01912 Okay, let's clear this up real quick. It's not wet, it's not coarse. It was pressed then I removed the center section to insert the detonator. It would be coarse if it had been recrystallized. After synthesis everything comes out as a very fine powder.
@Viking0fNorway Why would I recrystallize? What is going to contaminate my product? Left over reactants? Everything that goes in and comes out is water soluble with the exception of the product making it super simple to obtain a fairly pure product. Recrystallization sounds like a waste of time unless you want to do it just to gain the lab experience.
you shouldnt use AP for detonator... if that is blowing on your face you head is flying as nice as the bricks. you can detonate it with matchheads or flashpowder.
@DamersenNetwerk yes i have been saying that for years its all very good when your making drugs....most explosives come out quite pure there is no need or all that shit
ap is not THAT sensative. If u rub dry ap on the pavement with ur foot then it might go off. I disagree with ur sensative statement as I have dropped blasting caps of dry ap, had a big wooden board hit on and flattern it and dropped one off a trail bike on the road doing 40km/h. none of them detonated.
30 grams eh.. that's the most etn I've seen go off on youtube. I don't kno why nixrate said your side info is arrogant. I assume you have a license to manufacture explosives.

@prometheustwin1970 Only other sugar I've nitrated that I can think of offhand would be glycerin.

holy shit i think you sent those rocks into orbit...

Well, you get the prize for having the biggest etn charge on youtube... crazy stuff.

Nice video. Have you ever tried nitrates of other sugar alcohols, like mannitol hexanitrate or xylitol pentanitrate?
@RadioTrefoil sarcasm....hmmm, no and i dont know how to make it and the chemicals are probably to hard to get.

how do i get some, i have terrible stump problems

@sejatski Around .5g
What do you use for your blasting cap?
Acetone Peroxide
I have a big question..
Is ETN more sensytiv than TATP
Thanks
No, it is less sensitive than TATP, but is stronger by about 1.5 times
where do you get erythritol ?
nice det powerfull stuff etn..ur side information is very arrogant though.
