I am but a simple kind of man. I was probably Worlock's age when Lynyrd
Skynyrd commanded the charts with that song. As a simpleton, my ideas
are simple. I present this idea to Worlock. I think, if he so desires,
will take this simple idea and give it that special something only an
educator of his unique calibre knows how to do. Now to dispense with the
blowjob and get down to business. Ammonia/lithium method is pretty much
limited to the farmboys out in north 40's due to the smell. I've kicked
this problem around from time to time and, until now, usually lost
interest. I believe I have a simple solution. Low cost too!
As you can see from this pic, a simple ammonia/lithium machine. From left
to right. H2O2 is injected into a flask of ammonium sulphate. The
immediate gaseous reaction is first bubbled through (drying agent of your
choice) bottle 1, then (same again) bottle 2 to end anhydrous in the far
right round flat-bottomed flask sitting in a dry ice bath, sitting on a
mag/stir. Once a couple of fingers of dry liquid ammonia is collected,
lithium is added, pure soody or E is added, stirring is started, and 10
minutes later reduction is complete. (Not interested in any recipe related
errors you may, or may not find. Not the point of this post) Okay. This
shit's gonna stink to high-assed heaven, sweetheart. No doubt about it!
 That
brings us to pic 2.
I guesstimate plexiglass price at under $20. I recommend a Rotozip
spiralsaw for perfect holes. A good pair of chemical protective gloves
around $10 at Home Depot. Large tube of silicon calk>$5. Valve to
connect aeriator for dispelling gas/smell down the drain> $5. There
it is, boys and girls. Worlock?

Impressed the shit outta me just getting all the containers hooked up so

to this rxn, but if you think fester-like and talk 'octane', I sees where
you are coming from and applaud. Funny robot.

Is zeolite not an option for NH3 absorption? Or is it's capacity not up to
a job like this?
Although, gassing it down the drain sounds just as good...

Sorry, you haven't been around to level me out
My head is quickly deteriorating to FMan status. I follow his various
personas from forum to forum on the hive.

"Attention, FMan has left the building"

"The greatest trick FMan ever pulled was convincing the world that he

Zeolite. It's a clay or something that absorbs ammonia. We can't use it
in saltwater for some reason, or maybe it's because we have more delicate
bio cycles that we can't fuck up. Anyway, it's used in freshwater
aquariums (I think the popular brand name is Ammo-sorb or something from
Aquarium Pharmaceuticals company), probably as a part of kitty litter, and
I used to use it in my reptile cages to keep the smell down. Don't know
how much ammonia it can suck up, and I'm too busy actively doing nothing
to look it up. I'm sure someone has tossed the idea around, and either
it's being used, or doesn't work.
It's probably smarter and more economical to use your method to outgas
the ammonia down the toilet or into a drain. It was just an idea that
popped into my head.

Ha Ha...
As for Android's idea:
First of all, your ammonia generator has got problems, but you're not
interested and niether am I .
So I'll just assume that the person who would be using this contraption is
capable of generating/buying/stealing anhydrous ammonia.
As for your glovebox, that's a good solution, but the ventilation
system is not such a hot ticket IMHO. Anhydrous ammonia boils at -33C, so
you are going to have serious problems with evaporation, even with the
flask sitting in the -76C dry ice/acetone bath you should probably be
using. In your system, the air flow though the glovebox is going to speed
up the evaporation, which is not good. Also, having fresh air flowing
through the box with a bunch of glass that's cooled to < -33C is going
to result in a whole lot of condensation on the glass surfaces. I'm sure
most of that will be on the outside of the bath and rxn vessel, but any
amount of water in that reaction is going to be problematic. I'm sure that
even someone who don't speak chemist-ese knows that water + lithium is
bad. So, now that I have thoroughly stated the obvious, my solution to
that problem would be as follows:
I'm assuming that you were going to build the thing so the top or one
side can be removed before and after the rxn for easy access. Also, my
solution to the problem would mean that you would have to be able to
completely seal the box during the rxn, and then be able to let air flow
through it later, so an inlet, and outlet, and some shutoff valves would
be in order.
You would assemble the NH3 generator thingy inside the glovebox and set
up your rxn flask so you can do your thing through the gloves when the
ammonia is made. Then, before you close the box, place a large container
of concentrated sulfuric acid in the box with some sort of
stirring/bubbling setup so there's good contact with the air in the box.
The sulfuric will rapidly dry the air in the box, eliminating the moisture
problem. Then, when you start generating the NH3 and doing the rxn, if
some ammonia is evolved, it will also be absorbed by the sulfuric. The box
would be completely sealed during this whole process. When the rxn is
done, you can take the bath away from the ammonia flask and hook the box
up to a vacuum source or blow air through the box and bubble through an
large container of acid to remove the ammonia. Then, open the thing up and
grab the goodies.
Of course, this would probably be a horrible pain in the ass to do and
would probably not be worth the trouble unless you had a readily avaiable
source of anhydrous ammonia.

We're all computer generated, aqua girl! Yes, I know what zeolite is. I'm
just a common-man speaking snob. Plus I like to paddle upstream. While the

I agree with you on down the drain. This method isn't my idea, though.
It can be found either on the Hive's other pages, Rhodium's wonderful
page, or somewhere in the Lycaeum. I simply want to help make it available
to everyone! Farmers and apartment dwellers alike! Humor and bullshit
are my favorite pasttimes, but everyone's gotta do their fair share of

contributions, then it's all worthwhile.<insert inspirational theme

Thank you, Randy! This is the input that turns half-baked ideas into
painful thorns in the system's side!  Yes!
The containment shield locks down air-tight. I don't see
condensation/fogging as detrimental at this point, but only an actual
working prototype will prove one way or another. Timewise, the whole
process is over in a blink. Sulphuric acid is an old drying process,
and would, if decided necessary, be capped and in the glovebox,(as you
call it) along with the rest of the setup prior to launch. Then simply
uncapping it would be easy. I'm betting low level atmosphere from the
water aeriator would buy enough time for the short time needed to complete
reaction. Once reaction is complete, lithium's unsteady introduction to
H2O is the next step. A capped container of water would be placed in the
glovebox as part of the setup also. Your comments are very important
and appreciated, Randy. Please shoot as many holes in it as you can.
Better on the drawing board, then while trying to shout "I thought it
would work!" through the bulletproof glass in the back of the squad car
while HAZMAT stumbles around in the ammoniated fog, gathering up the
evidence.

I apologize if I'm a little distracted. It's just sad when friendships
are torn apart by alcohol. I broke out my family photo album to reminisce
about happier times between myself and Worlock. We were inseparable back
in the day. His moto back then was "What? Me flame Android?". He'd always
score with the ladies when he'd use that phoney english accent and the
drunker sot's always thought he really WAS Elton John!  But
alas! Evil demon juice carves yet another notch on it's belt. CURSE YOU

I must go to a quiet place now. I think I've got something in my eye.
sniff-sniff! I'll always love you, Worlock! sniff!

Well I ain't an expert on aquistion but has anyone determined that
Anhydrous Ammonia is indeed hard to aquire?? I mean someone went to a
chemical supplier and layed out $150. deposit on container(which by the
way is as heavy as a boat anchor)/$150 for Ammonia and whammo he drove of
with 100LBS of Anhydrous Ammonia this dream happened less then 9 months
ago. I mean well it can be obtained by distilling it from Aqua-Ammonia28%,
with the aid of dry ice and acetone or toluene(acetone will obtain about
10 degrees cooler). And I can tell ya when your distilling it as long as
the temp is waaayy down, as in toluene and dry ice, there ain't no smell
to speak of...being as how the ammonia is all condensing in the flask,
only real time ya gets smell is when adding LI or when adding the freebase
via a liquid that isn't chilled down to the same temp as the liquid
ammonia. Other then that no real smell. If'n your dead set on generating
it via Ammmonia Sulphate or whatever...I would highly recommend against
that route, the reaction is quick as hell and if you aren't prepared for
it, well you'll wish you were somewhere else. Stick with Aqua-ammonia, it
is dirt cheap...less then $5/Gal and content is high, hell for all I know
if ya got enough 2450 Li cells it might work striaght out of the jug water
included, I mean once ya crack that lid on the jug, by george you can
clear rooms in record time :-). It was observed that while distilling it
that way most all the water would condense quick enough to fall back in
the heating vessel while the Ammonia would proceed to the condensing
vessel, and any water that did make it that far, i would assume would
solidify since it would be at a temp far below freezing, well it was tried
that way a few time and never did water seem to find its way into the
condensing vessel. Anyhow gotta gets some rest, most likely on the road
tomorrow, be back saturday for any questions. Pyrex out

Just as a matter of interest, if you chill your Ammonia water down to 0
Deg C, it will absorb almost 50% ammonia, and if you do it keep it in the
fridge. A funny thing happens to this (concentrated) Ammonia water when
you drop Lithium into it, it also turns that lovely iridiscent(sp) blue
that we all would love to see but alas we all dont. I have played with
this method/stuff using Electro and Ag and had some very promising
results, but got distracted by Worlocks Web site, and Rp/I worked well for
awhile, but I intend to play with the 50% NH3.aqua as I believe it will
work out, as If it is BLUE then it is good.
P.S. to make good ammonia gas Get some ammonia sulphate(fertiliser) mix
with 50% weight quick lime and heat in a sealed container with the vented
end going into your ammonia water in Ice and heat gently so that it
bubbles thru the liquid slowly. Takes about 20 minutes to saturate @ 0
Deg.

Blue is good, AbSoLuTe, but anhydrous is necessary for reduction. An inch
is as bad as a mile if it doesn't work. Correct?
Search Engine! Nice handy little answer without answering any
questions! Does the search engine update me on the frustrations of the
membership? Does it give me a comtemporary feel for certain individuals
failures and lessons? Tech tips? The Worlocks have an almost
counterproductive effect on information by their zest to maintain a
foothold in the pecking order. Why reveal anything when it's so much
easier to kill another's desire to post a new finding. While others are
busy second guessing themselves, they remain unchallenged and in control.
Does what I'm suggesting ring any bells? Or is it just speed psychosis (my
guess) on my part? Personally, I have no fragile ego or reputation to
protect. Flames are too familiar to me. Growing up in my home it was
called communication!  Any
post, no matter how trite it may be deemed by the Worlocks, acquires
importance from the posts it generates. From you. The Hive membership.
Rubbing against the grain is my fodder. I also see something important.
Voices out of the darkness that have something to say. I think it's
important. That makes it important.

Sounds like Worlock's being mis-interpreted somewhat to me. I dont think
he has any need of clawing for supremecy, and I know for a fact his moral
standing in every sense is unimpeachable. That said though, the man

others, so question him fast when you see him.hehehe.

Always a pleasure, Hematite!  I
love scarey people! They speak my language. Indeed, insanity has it's own
language and everything! Benefits, etc.
So, anywho, a dream has developed since my last post involving a one
pound block of dry ice, 1.45g of pure soody(all that was left), saturation
with aqueous NaOH to 14pH, 50ml toluene, and a half hour, (so far) of
magnetic stirring. As always, I never rush through a hypothesis test run!
I'm thinking this dream may be heavily influenced by mrr pyrex's post. An
hour in the search engine (thanks Worlock) produced less than mrr pyrex
graciously provided right here. Simple distillation. Pretty pre-pubescent
really!  They
say no smell. . I believe there'll be no smell. Yeah, I'm easy!

The strongest bottle of ammonium hydroxide available in this dream is a
mere 10%. I believe if I break off a couple of chunks of dry ice and
prepare a little subzero bath to freeze out a good portion of the water
prior to the actual distillation, 28% or better will be attained. Without
the luxury of first hand dream experience here, of course, I can only
surmise this to be the easiest correction to this differential.

F.Y.I Android I believe that it does not have to BEE anhydrous, and I have
been playing with this for awhile. Once the solution turns blue, this
indicates "dissolved electrons" which then has the reducing power needed
to do this Rxn. Try it yourself. If it is gonna take 45 minutes
rather than 10, who gives a fuck? I was also usind electro to increase
the Hydrogen levels, and as I say , had some success with it. I have
read that an inert atmosphere was needed too, but that is also crap. I
admit that 50% ammonia stinks as bad as Anhydrous, but is much easier to
handle, and if you could get the temperature down lower again till it
almost freezes, then it wouldnt smell at all (much)
