You stated at the end you are open to suggestions for future videos... Something I have wanted to do for a while but can't seem to find literature on the topic is production of potassium nitrate. I have heard that one of the best sources is from bat guano and/or chicken shit. Almost everyone out here in the country has a chicken coop, and to say there are a LOT of abandoned hard rock gold mines in my area would be an understatement. A flat shovel, a backpack with a plastic liner yields copious amounts of black gold. So I guess what I'm trying to say is I have (nearly) unlimited access to the raw ingredients needed to make KNO3. However, the only literature I can find on the matter will show you how to prepare it for production, (basically how to make it easier for the chemist) but not how to actually make it! Talk about frustrating. If you were to make a video on that, you would earn my subscription, hands down.

Agreed about the style of writing at the time. I’m particularly fond of textbooks from anywhere between 1850 and 1950 (especially the turn of the century) when they were written by one person and edited by one person or a few people. They were much more intimate because the writing style was consistent and flowed much better. Scientific literature now is a lot more sterile

Benzoyl chloride can be really useful! Great video man!

@muzaffaryusupov6435 13 күн бұрын

Useful for what?

@midwestchem368 13 күн бұрын

@muzaffaryusupov6435 for example benzoyl chloride can react with anhydrous propionic acid to make propionyl chloride. Which is distilled directly from the mixture. It's much safer than phosphorus pentachloride or thionyl chloride. This can only be done when the end product has a lower boiling point than benzoyl chloride and can be distilled from the mixture.

@SetTheCurve 28 күн бұрын

UV leds have a short lifetime and typically have poor efficiency, especially for uvc (I’ve heard). I work in agriculture and all sterilizing UV devices I’ve run into are HID style bulbs. The only UV leds I’ve seen that aren’t are low powered ones, mainly uva and uvb, intended to be used briefly and still be safe for plants.

@ChemDungeon 28 күн бұрын

That’s interesting, thanks for letting me know! I finally watched all of the extractions&ire cubane series so I know a little more about UV LEDs. Deep UV LEDs are still a work in progress as you probably know - I didn’t know they have a short lifetime/poor efficiency, but it makes sense given that they’re more or less in their developmental stages. I wonder how long it’ll be until high powered UV LEDs predominate over mercury lamps. If you can say, what exactly is UV sterilization used for in your agricultural occupation? I currently live in a state where ag is a main part of the economy but I didn’t grow up here so I’m not too keen on the specifics

@ChemDungeon so cool man! I'm actually planning on making chloroacetic acid from trichloroethylene. I'm glad to see more people using red p. It got a bad reputation for bad stuff we all know but it's so dang useful for a number of different uses.

@ChemDungeon Ай бұрын

@@midwestchem368 oh yeah? By the 75% H2SO4 high(ish) temp hydrolysis method? That’ll give you a much purer product for sure, no di- or trichlorinated side product formation. Red P definitely has gotten a bad rep, but it really is versatile and there are plenty of non-clandestine uses for it

@midwestchem368 Ай бұрын

@ChemDungeon yup that's the method! I just got a pressurized reaction vessel so I'm planning to try some small scale tests first. I'm trying it with some degreaser that is trichloroethylene and co2 and that way the method is essentially otc.

@ChemDungeon Ай бұрын

@@midwestchem368 is that how it’s done in whatever reference you’re using? 75% H2SO4 boils at ~180°C, the sealed system is used I’m guessing so the TCE doesn’t all just boil off at the reaction temp of 130-140°. I wonder if you could add the TCE drop wise after getting it up to temp, like how a typical ether from EtOH/H2SO4 synthesis is carried out

@ChemDungeon Ай бұрын

@@mikegLXIVMM Chinese ebay chems are almost always hit or miss :p. From pretty much everything I've read on people trying to make chloral, they're either extremely low yielding or there is no yield. The reaction is running dry chlorine into anhydrous ethanol, but I haven't tried it myself. I'm curious about routes involving acetaldehyde, but until your comment, I never really had any interest in making it. Another route would be making, then reduction of trichloroacetic acid or a derivative of it and, if it's fully reduced to an alcohol, partial oxidation back to the aldehyde. Trichloroacetic acid would be easier to make but getting it to the aldehyde would be annoying so I think the acetaldehyde route might be more promising. About your 2nd comment, right? Apparently YT thinks things that go boom aren't worse than DDT? Very odd priorities
