Acetone peroxide is a primary explosive that can be made from hair bleach (hydrogen peroxide), acetone, and sulfuric acid. This explosive is to be used in the fabrication of detonators (Section VI, No. 13, Vol. 2). MATERIAL REQUIRED: SOURCES: ------------------ -------- Hydrogen peroxide Hair bleach (15-25 volume content) Drug stores and hair supply stores Acetone Clear battery acid boiled until fumes appear Eye dropper or syringe with glass tube Graduated cylinder (cc or ml) or other measuring device Thermometer (0 to 100 degrees C.) Glass containers Large pan Ice and salt Water Paper Towels Procedure: 1. Measure 30 ml of acetone and 50 ml of hydrogen peroxide into a glass container and mix thoroughly. 2. Cool the acetone/peroxide mixture by placing it's container in a larger one containing a mixturre of ice, salt, and water. Note: Because of the lighter inner container being buoyant in the larger outer container, it is necessary to secure it so that it won't faall over into the ice, salt, and water mixture. 3. Cool the mixture to 5 degrees C. 4. Add 2.5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid to the mixture slowly, drop by drop, with the use of an eye dropper. Stir the mixture during the addition of the sulfuric acid with a thermometer, keeping the temperature between 5-10 degrrees C. Should the temp. rise above 10 degrees C., stop adding the acid and continue stirring until the temp. drops again to 5 degrees C., then continue adding the acid. 5. After all the acid has been added, continue stirring the mixture for another five minutes. 6. Let the new mixture stand in the Ice/Salt/Water bath or remove the inner container and place it inn an ice box for 12 to 24 hrs. 7. After 12 hours white crystals of acetone peroxide will precipitate out of the once clear solution. Precipitation should be completed after 24 hrs. Caution: At this point the mixture is a primary explosive. Keep away from shock, friction or flame. 8. Filter the mixture through a paper towel into a container to collect the solid particles. 9. Wash the solid particles collected in the paper towel with small amounts of ice cold water poured over them. Discard the liquid in the container. 10. Place these explosive crystals in a container and allow to dry. Use within 10 days and store in cool, drry, and dark place.
