Perchlorate for Stars


Recommended Posts

Posted

Im from BB and we have a thread for random questions but as far as I can tell you guys dont so I started a new one. If it is a problem I can delete it if the mods want. Anway....

 

I remember back awail in the comp area there was some easy colored star comps using chems like barium perchlorate, strontium perchlorate, etc. posted by some russian guy IIRC. Does anyone have a link to the thread discussing the making of those chems?

 

Thanks for all the help in advance.

The random thread is in general discussion and chat.

 

Umm... i think i recall a thread on barium and strontium perchlorate... it would be in this section (chemistry).

 

The basic reactions for nitrates are generally either:

 

NH4NO3 + xCO3 ---> (NH4)2CO3 + xNO3

(NH4)2CO3 ---> NH3 + CO2 + H2O

 

or

 

HNO3 + xCO3 ---> xNO3 + CO2 + H2O

 

 

For perchlorate it could possibly ammonium perchlorate and x carbonate, or perchloric acid. No gaurantees.

They're located at the old APC site, in the compositions forum. Several separate threads titled "Russian Fires"...Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue. Mostly made with metallic Perchlorates IIRC. Not all of the pictures are hosted these days...

I think I moved all those threads over. All the pictures got deleted though from their server.
