do you know how to make a homemade black powder solvent (this is a question for hunters)?

I've always just used lots of hot soapy water (dawn dishwashing liquid). Of course, you have to get it really dry afterwards. I also drilled out my nipple to 1/16th inch. and I always use a pipe cleaner to clean out the tunnel from the nipple to the inside firing chamber. I'm not sure what you would need to do if you had a flintlock. I've never had one of those. Mine is a T/C .50 cal Hawkins. I've never had a misfire with it.

right do to the chemist then buy a really really fizzy tablet k? then get oil not the black no just normal oil not that horrible black 1 then u mix thedm together u should get about 50 fizzy tablets then add flour mix for at least 30 hr then u have exploding paste

Take 2 hard glass boiling tubes.In one of the tubes put small pieces of wood, and some water in the other tube.Heat the first tube with burner.First heat gently and then strong heating.Through a delivery tube collect all the gases produced in the first tube under water in the second tube.By means of another delivery tube the gases over water in the second tube is taken out. This gas is simply called wood gas.Though we call it wood gas it is not a simple gas but a mixture of many.You will see  drops of black liquid at the bottom of the second tube .This black liquid is called tar.Usually methanol and acetic acid is produced which mix with water in the second tube.Residue left in the first tube is charcoal.\n\n\nBoiling point of methanol is abt 65 degree celcius and boiling point of acetic acid is 118 degree celcius. Acetic acid is a high boiling liquid then methanol. On the other hand, water has a boiling point of 100 degree celcius.Now apply fractional distillation to separate the three.

Couldn't you evaporate the solvent? I think it's water or ethanol.

just mix petrolium and flour together in a bottle - make it thick into a sauce\n\nthat is instant NAPALM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you put your piece of cactus in the blender with some water & some hexane and whirr it up a bit, then strain it & transfer it to a separating vessel (looks like a giant teardrop with a tap on each end), the oils should dissolve in the solvent and you can tap them off.  Then you can evaporate off the solvent & be left with the oils.\n\nThis should work based on the principle that "like dissolves like": Water is very polar, and hexanes are very non-polar. Since any oils in cactus are going to be non-polar also, they will dissolve readily in the hexanes but not in the water.\n\nBut the question remains....why do you want to do this?

Here's a way to turn a common household chemical reaction into some fun.\n\nhttp://www.torgo.org/bpsubs/

Mostly sodium nitrate about 70%, about 20% sulfur, and 10% carbon.\n\nThe trick to making good black powder is that you have to have it all finely powdered, mixed well with water, then you dry it out in an oven (Yes, in an oven!)  If you don't have your oven temperature just right, you can blow yourself up!!!!  NOT to be tried at home!\n\nYou can buy a can of black powder for about $25 at a gun store.  Much safer and cheaper!\n\nWhy do you need black powder?  I hope you're not planning to blow anything up!\n\nI'm a chemist and I've tried making small (less than 1 g) quantities of black powder and it's never been very good... it just sort of sparkles and fizzles, doesn't really blow up.  So, if I were you, I'd buy the stuff at a gun store.\n\nI really hope you're an antique gun enthusiast and NOT a psycho/terrorist.\n\nTake care!\nDavid

Try Brownells, ive used it before with really great results. heres a link to get it\nhttp://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=1145&title=TEFLON%2FMOLY+OVEN+CURE%2C+GUN+FINISH

Trying to make nitroglycerin, eh?\n\nWon't find out how to do it from me.  And beware of some of the other sources out there -- they're deliberately miswritten so that you'll blow yourself up.

Aside from the fact that it boils at -33.5°C, ammonia is a polar molecule, so it's best solvent use would be with other polar molecules, and water and alcohols would be far better solvents.  I would classify it as a poor solvent since it would be hard to use because you would have to keep it very cold, and there are better solvents you could use.\n\nUses:  Fertilizer (as mentioned previously); manufacture of nitric acid, hydrozine hydrate, hydrogen cyanide, urethane, acrylonitrile and sodium carbonate (by Solvay process); refrigerant; nitriding of steel; condensation catalyst; synthetic fibers; dyeing; neutralizing agent in petroleum industry; latex preservative; sulfite cooking liquors; fuel cells; rocket fuel; yeast nutrient; developing diazo films.

I think the only pratical way ot do this will be to distill the kerosene.\n\nBut be aware that you are probably breaking the law by doing so. The colouration is added to make it comply with safety laws.

1.  Oxidise toluene to benzoic acid using strong oxidising agents.  KMnO4 (aq) is strong enough to do this.\n\n2.  Convert you benzoic acid to benzoyl chloride, using (COCl)2 - oxalyl chloride/DMF(cat.) or SOCl2 or Ghosezs reagent or PPh3/CCl4 or PPh3/NCS etc - the former two being by far the most common methods.\n\n3.  Nitrate your malonic ester in the 2 position using isoamyl nitrate in the presence of a base, ie NaH or NaOMe.\n\n4.   Reduce your nitro to an amine (H2-Pd/C)\n\n5.  Acylate your amine with your prepared benazoyl chloride (DIPEA as a base, DCM as a solvent for example)\n\n6.  Saponify both your esters with 1M NaOH.\n\n7.  Acidify your sodium carboxylates to the free carboxylic acids and heat for a couple of hours to promote de-carboxylation.  This is a standard procedure so will work well\n\n8.  Isolate your prepared hippuric acid!\n\nThere will be many other methods - especially to prepare your methyl 2-aminomalonate.  You don;t need to form the acid chloride also.  You could just perform an amidation between your amine and benzoic acid in the presence of a coupling agent such as DIC/HOBt, CDI, HATU, PyBrOP etc etc - there are too many to mention.\n\nYou could also brominate your methyl malonate with Br2, to give methyl 2-bromomalonate.  Treat your benzoyl chloride with ammonia gas to give benzamide.  Then treating your benzamide with NaH to de-protonate your amide, and then treat with your methyl 2-bromomalonate will generate the same product as described in step 5 above.  Following the rest will give you your product.\n\nThere are more methods but hopefully this has given you some useful information.

gun and powder =S\n\nNay. Black powder is a mixture of saltpeter (potassium nitrate or, less frequently, sodium nitrate), charcoal and sulfur with a ratio (by weight) of approximately 15:3:2 respectively. The ratio has changed over the centuries of its use, and can be altered somewhat depending on the purpose of the powder.

Combine 19 parts of solvent with 1 part solute.  Boom, 5% solution.  \n\nIf you have an already diluted substance, just figure out the ratio and try to make it 1/20.  For example, if you have a 50% solution of NaCl and water, add two parts (2*50% is 100% or 1 part) of it to 18 parts water to make a 5% NaCl and H20 solution.

Check on the internet for the ratios used by comercial factories, then prepare a solution from glycol and water in the given proportion. That's all!!!
