(Reupload) Make Potassium Nitrate and Sodium Nitrate at Home Using Calcium Nitrate

[@NurdRage]

We're just making fertilizer, that's it, completely normal fertilizer. Nothing special. Just fertilizer...

[@drNecronus]

Sad state of affairs

[@mnikpro]

Well, until you combine it with carbon and sulfur that is...

[@TupperWallace]

It was worth updating the old one anyway.

[@imikla]

Wow. 😢

People need food. Food needs fertilizers. Fertilizers need this video.

[@christianvn1]

And videos need people, it's the circle of life!

[@Superchunk-k2h]

Ban food

[@andybbgate]

Even nitroethane synthesis need this fertilizer =)

[@FullCircleTravis]

If you're making custom fertilizer blends for hydroponics, this is awesome.

[@runningbird501]

KZbin's policies are also made from fertilizer, this video is a great method! It's much cleaner and has far less odour than the fertilizer method used by KZbin. 👍

[@itar10n]

It's also the other major component in a popular amateur rocke... fertilizer.

I love a completely normal video *ABOUT FERTILIZER KZbin. THIS IS MY FAVORITE FERTILIZER-CENTRIC VIDEO. I SURE DO HOPE IT STAYS UP AND UNRESTRICTED FOR ME TO CONTINUE WATCHING FOR MY FERTILIZER NEEDS!!*

[@custos3249]

By YT's hilarious "standards," we gotta restrict anything that involves sugar too. It's been known that many serial killers and other mass murderers had it in their blood stream at the time of their crime.

[@bormisha]

But watch calcium nitrate getting severely restricted in a short time. Nanny state isn't something that you can avoid by finding other, not yet restricted ways of doing what they don't want you to do.

[@chemistryscience4320]

screw KZbin, I'll gladly watch again a NurdRage video to help recover views. Plus you are my favorite Chemist the end.

Thanks, my... crops will love this pure fertilizer...

[@jeromedumalin9954]

Very pure. But use the sodium fertilizer only for ocean plants

Ive been watching these videos since the OG Days of Glowsticks and sneaking around behind the ex-lab’s nosier colleagues 😂 I was no older than 12 when I came across this channel, and I’m proud to say I’ll be a father in less than 3 months. Can’t wait to make glowsticks and fertilizer with them😊

[@arahatchikkatur1906]

I used this process with sodium carbonate and calcium ammonium nitrate and was able to get 147g (~58% yield). Very useful video indeed for some great fertilizer

I’d love to see a video on NR making ammonium nitrate fertilizer using garden chemicals.

[@mortlet5180]

Wouldn't it be possible to use this exact same procedure, just substituting baker's ammonia in stead of the Na/K alkalis/carbonates?

[@TheCoolBigD]

I have discovered your channel recently as I have stumbled into the wonderful world of amateur chemistry. This came as a result of thirst for knowledge to understand how my electrolytes worked during my last endeavor into the the fascinating hobby of electroplating. Thank you for all the work you do. Your content, whilst not as polished as some others, Is extremely well done, I find your content informative and to the point with minimum fluff. You consistently provide clear instructions and detailed explanations. I watch a many technical channels on YT as my hobbies and interests cover a lot of territory. I must say that yours is Quite possibly the best chemistry channel on the platform, for just pure knowledge conveyance and ease of absorption, well In my opinion anyways. Chemistry is amazing and I think you do an amazing job at instruction. Felt that needed to be said. Appreciate the hard work, Please Keep em' comin. Liked & Subscribed! Shout out from Canada! Nurd Rules!

[@anotherguy9402]

You know brawndo has electrolytes

[@davidjones6661]

Random note -- if you wound up here looking for plant food, sodium ions in your soil are not your plant's friends.

[@YunxiaoChu]

IIRC sodium ions are ok for celery

Many plants don't like it, but all cabbage family plants don't care as they originated from a beach plant.

[@andersjjensen]

@@YunxiaoChu It's the only thing besides grass and weeds that will properly grow in vegetable gardens on Denmark's west coast. The North Sea likes to spray salt water pretty far in land, to the point where even the ground water is slightly saline in these areas. And if you were looking for a source on the relation between kale (Brassica) and sea kale (Crambe maritima) are both of the Brassicaceae familty I suggest wikipedia. Sea kale is obviously more salt tolerant (in fact it will grow right up to the water line) than your normal kales and cabbages. Fun fact: They are close enough that they will cross pollinate, so if you're looking for a new type of kale that is particularly salt resistent

[@Kenneth-ls3it]

❤ Thanks and I hope this goes viral on All the "prepper" channels 👍. It's quite amazing how you can find "nitrates" pretty easy. I've been using a local pool place for most of my supplies so I definitely appreciate your help in my pyrrrr'plant "fertilizer" experiments. Always fun learning chemistry ❤👍🇱🇷

Great info. I’m a beginning amateur metals refiner and this info helps to jump start my hobby. Thank you.

[@Tome_Wyrm]

I may not need any fertilizer right now, but it's a good video. Hopefully The Algorithm sees that it's good educational content and makes it more visible

[@jtbmetaldesigns]

I’m glad I’m not young. This world is too restrictive and authoritarian. When I got my drivers license 35 years ago, I remember driving to Central Hardware to look at chemicals and power tools. One thing I remembered most was the 50 pound bags of 99% ammonium nitrate for like $15! I wish I pounced on it. But at that time I could buy sodium nitrate at nurseries for $8 a 5 pound bag and potassium nitrate as a stump remover. I never imagined nitrates not being OTC. 🤦‍♂️

[@irus1024]

Nice, gonna make a bunch of this for my corn fields!

[@LG_Prd]

Nothing better than a good amateur gardening video...

[@pursaveer9027]

What about using potassium sulfate and calcium nitrate? Calcium sulfate is pretty insoluble and both chemicals are available on Amazon.

[@chanheosican6636]

How easy is to process Calcium ammonium nitrate into Nitric acid? I assume the ammonia in HCl would make Ammonia chloride thus reducing the Nitric acid yield. It hard to get potassium nitrate or Magnesium nitrate.

[@colonialcharlie8702]

Good info. Thanks for re-upload with the correct purpose this time 😂

[@quinton3997]

Is there any reason to remove potassium from nitrate for metal recycling

[@Chemixtrea]

Synthetikaeu does have some nitrates for sale...

[@victorc.e]

and , at the KCl methot , coudn't you use more pure CaCO3? i think is easyer (for me) to found more pure fertilizer CaCO3 that Calcium amonia nitrate and other question, can i make potassium nitrate by electrolisys or reacting KCl and NaNO3 ? thx

[@shotout74]

Another enjoyable video. Hope it stays monetized

[@notsonominal]

So just to re-cap, we're just making plant food? (aka food for food)

[@jasonmorello1374]

There are versions of Stump remover being 100% potassium nitrate. Sodium nitrate can be bought from food bulk franchise sources, as it is used in pickling and curing.

[@SciDOCMBC]

First of all, great video even if you have to re-upload it 20 times. 👍👍👍 I simply can't understand why videos like this one are not only immediately demonetized, but in most cases completely deleted by YT, even though there are countless videos on YT that show the synthesis of an illegal stimulant in great detail. YT, in contrast, doesn't seem to be interested in this stimulant videos in the slightest. These videos are also deleted from time to time, but the channel in question simply re-uploads this videos after a short time. Not only do these clear violations of YT's guidelines seem to be pursued far less rigorously by YT than actual chemistry education videos, YT appears to show no interest in these stimulant videos at all and only reacts, if at all, after corresponding reports from YT users. YT appears to have double standards here.

[@alish5417]

can i buy 50 kilos of potassium nitrate ,or i have to make multiple igniter to ignite air in multiple flasks ,but all these flasks are connected as on stream to make hno3 from air ,i got the idea

[@edgeeffect]

I once had a plan (based on one of your early videos) to make potassium permanganate entirely out of garbage (not even household chemicals).... potassium nitrate was the thing that called a halt on my plan... the traditional method employing heaps of manure and buckets of stale urine just didn't seem that appealing.:)

[@sorphin]

Can you do anything with urea nitrate?

[@twocvbloke]

It's funny, last week I found out a common camping fuel (to use its' long name, Hexamethylenetetramine!) here in the UK is now illegal to the point where if you're caught in possession of it, then you could face up to a 2 year stay in a state-owned hotel, because it too can be used by silly people in the making of rapid-combustion materials of the boomy kind, and I still had some hanging about somewhere, so I made it go away with flames... :P
