Posted 14 July 2010 - 12:58 PM. If the sulfur is pellatized, it has clay in it, usually 10%. You can dissolve them and take off the sulfur or grind them but use and extra 10% to make up for the binder. I will grind the charcoal with the sulfur separately if I am particualrly unsure of my surroundings for ball milling and just screen them ...

I'm milling everything dry in an improvised ball mill (peanut butter jar with #000 buckshot), than wetting the milled components with 90% alcohol to be combined and compacted into cakes. Performance-wise, ascorbic acid/KNO3 powder is said to …

Potassium nitrate is a white powder or long needle-like crystals manufactured by Haifa with the chemical name KNO3. This is very high quality at 99.4-99.7% purity and works perfectly for all applications. This item is granulated and has the consistency of table salt. The most famous use of potassium nitrate is probably as the oxidizer in black ...

However, under ball milling, which exerts various ki et al., 1997; Alder et al., 1994) have suggested that mechanical stresses to the material, the time constant should be far shorter processing of starch, including ball milling, causes depolymeriza- than that under physical aging.

Simply diapering or otherwise mixing the three ingredients won't give the same power as ball milling them together, especially if the KNO3 or sulfur are not milled to dust themselves. Adding water, not alcohol (at least not nearly-pure alcohol) can make the BP more powerful (once dried) because the KNO3 is readily dissolved in H2O and then the ...

And if you put the 2 together in your ball mill and let it run you may just turn your ball mill into an improvised clay-more mine. I would not do that at all. Take finely powder KNO3 and Aluminum powder, using very small quantities mix carefully not using anything that can cause a spark. Used to make firecrackers and reports this is wicked stuff.

Ball mills o Best way for hobbyist to make good fast black powder o Easy to build or purchase yourself o Can use lead (recommended) or ceramic for milling media o Recommend getting Lloyd Sponenberg's book "Ball Milling Theory and Practice" ($19.94 at Amazon) o Using an efficient ball you can make high quality BP in less than 3 hours

Step 1: you first need to measure out your water and kno3. the way you do that is according to the chart, the solubility is 2.5 grams per ml at 100°c, so you divide the amount of kno3 you have by 2.5 and you then get the amount of water you need to add in ml. Ask Question.

Use meal-D or ball milled BP powder instead of KNO3, charcoal and sulfur. The meal-D will makeup 30% of the mixture. For the other 70%, use whistle mix with 1% iron oxide as a catalyst. Use lacquer thinner or acetone as the wetting agent.

75 % KNO3 15 % Carbon 10 % Sulphur. Mix and set on fire. Boom. The long (and, quite frankly, more useful) version: To make decent blackpowder, you need a ball-mill: A mill which uses heavy steel balls to crush chemicals. A little bit advanced for beginners, so let's go for a slightly simpler solution instead:

And if you put the 2 together in your ball mill and let it run you may just turn your ball mill into an improvised clay-more mine. I would not do that at all.

English: Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula K N O 3.It is an ionic salt of potassium ions K + and nitrate ions NO 3 −.It occurs as a mineral niter and is a natural solid source of nitrogen. Potassium nitrate is one of several nitrogen-containing compounds collectively referred to as saltpeter.

Ball mill the charcoal and sulphur mix for about 3 hours (without adding any potassium nitrate). Add 75 parts of potassium nitrate (powdered) to the charcoal and sulphur mix in the ball mill. Also add 6 parts water to the mix before ball milling, this will dramatically reduce the probability of accidental ignition of the mixture during milling.

KNO3 was another matter. 4 hours hardly touched it. So I switched to US nickels. In 8 hours the KNO3 was very fine but the nickels had compacted KNO3 on the face and back of the coins so thick that the coins looked like little footballs in profile. What a mess! I then re milled the coins with marbles and salvaged most of the KNO3.

bulk chemicals in ball milling. Like below: Fishing weights: Marbles: Ball Bearings: Muzzle Loading Balls: Nuts off of bolts: I know that you must use non sparking for BP ball milling but I was just wondering about for grinding raw chemicals such KNO3 and NaNO3 from their prills as sodium nitrate. Thank you Bryan B

KNO3 is mildly hygroscopic and wet chems and comps made with them are at risk of clumping (charcoal's another thirsty one). Dry it in the oven on a baking pan for an hour at 200-250F and mill it again. It shouldn't require days to mill KNO3 to …

Good, I have like 3 lbs of KNO3, just made a ball mill for Al powder. Al powder ? are you doing it with KNO3 ? Aluminum powder have a very high temperature of activation to burn or make flash powder, due to its oxide layer protection and its high boiling point. Zyklon-A. International Hazard.

I want to mix by ball milling KNO3 or Mg(NO3)2 with natural kaolinit or Feldspar or silica, is it safe to mill them? 2. What about K2SO4 with Ca(NO3)2 or Mg(NO3)2? Silicate.

The ball mill method. 1. crush the charcoal with a hammer between two sheets of card. then Sieve the ground charcoal through a 30 mesh sieve. 2. Weigh out the charcoal, for every 100g of charcoal, add 67g of sulfur, 1/4 fill the ball mill with this mixture. Put the media in and run the mill for 3 hours.

Mechanochemical synthesis of nano-biochar by ball-milling technology is gaining attention for the sake of its low-cost and eco-friendly nature. Ball milling as a non-/less-solvent technology can propel environmental sustainability and waste

However, you can't just mix sulfur KNO3 and charcoal and expect to have gunpowder...it will burn, but very slowly. To make proper blackpowder, component integration is needed with a ball mill and proper grinding media. If you're serious about making good black powder in quantity, get one, they're great. Instructions are here...

Potassium Chloride is a metal halide composed of potassium and chloride. Potassium maintains intracellular tonicity, is required for nerve conduction, cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle contraction, production of energy, the synthesis of nucleic acids, maintenance of blood pressure and normal renal function. This agent has potential antihypertensive effects and when taken …

The conductivity measurements as a function of milling time identified CPE films: [(95PEO: 5KNO 3) + 7KI] and [(70PEO: 30KNO 3) + 10 KI] in which two respective (KNO 3 + KI) ratios milled for 4- and 6-h, exhibited almost similar value of σ rt ∼ 2.09 × 10 −5 S/cm. This approach increased σ rt further by ∼3–6 fold.

I built a Ball Mill. Of the type commonly known in the hobby as a "Sponenburgh Mill". Visit my Ball Mill webpage. Stingers - spin stabilized fin/stickless rockets. They're in BAFN II. I have 1lb tooling from Thunder 'N Lightning including a custom drill guide. His tooling is somewhat pricey - but you won't regret it.

5 pounds of the chemicals for making blackpowder and a good article on ball milling 101 5 lbs charchol 5 lbs sulpher 5 lbs patissium nitrate and they throw in some dexiderin for 54 bucks. ... You can also make rockets out of dextrin and KNO3. This …

Successfully Milling Potassium Nitrate with a Coffee Blade Grinder Conclusion Granular potassium nitrate can be dried if necessary, and ground easily with a ball mill or with a coffee blade mill, so that it passes through a 100-mesh screen and is ready to be used in pyrotechnic compositions. Materials Needed. Potassium Nitrate, prilled (ZCH5302)

Particle size of KNO3 can be kept smaller as in case of ball milling Wet process: KNO3 can be soaked into charcoal pores CIA method: relative weaknesses: Cannot ensure small particle size/good integration of (water-insoluble) charcoal and sulphur Ball milling: relative weaknesses:

High energy milling was performed in dry atmosphere using twin planetary ball-mill machine (Insmart, India) containing tungsten carbide bowl (100 ml) loaded with (KNO 3 + KI) powder mixture along with 2–4 tungsten carbide balls (∼10 mm diameter). The bowls were rotated @350 rpm.
