Wyvern Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Does anyone know of a Solvent for Antimony Trisulphide other than hydrochloric acid, reason being i have some 400 mech which i would like to recrystalize and grind down to ~200 mesh chinese needle.
Mumbles Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 You can't grind it down to chinese needle, it is a naturally occuring shape. Your 400 mesh will be fine, and you will be hard pressed to find a solvent for Sb2S3 short of an acid.
DeAdFX Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Well if your really desperate you could of course melt it. However I find that anytime a pyrotechnic formula calls for Sb2S3 it doesn't really matter what form it is in(for my case atleast). I can't speak for all the pyros out there.
asilentbob Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I highly doubt that it would work, but perhaps CS2, SCl2/S2Cl2, etc.
Douchermann Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Yeah, 400 mesh will work in all formulas. However, 200 mesh will not work in all. For example, 200 mesh will not work in cracker balls (torpedos, whatever).
