In this video we make nitric acid by reacting calcium nitrate with oxalic acid.
The process is rather simple, dissolve 300g of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (A common fertilizer) in 1L of water and then dissolve 150g of Oxalic Acid dihydrate in 300mL of water with heating. Then mix the two. A white precipitate of calcium oxalate is formed. Filter this off and distill the filtrate. The distillate will be dilute nitric acid. Fractionally distill that to get azeotropic nitric acid. The yield is around 74%

Bondex wood bleach is oxalic crystals if you need it. Might not be sold anymore, I haven't made blond walnut in ages.

This method i think will work to prepare (not pure) chloric acid from NaClO3 too if some CaCl are added to remove the Na2C2O4. Chloric acid decomposes on heating. However, they do not described to what extent in dilute form and whether production can be based on this. If it can be decompose down into perchloric acid by a simple method, it would be very valuable for everyone to make perchlorates without platinum, PbO2 and high temperature heating in a inert material. HClO4 from HClO3 a easy way without platinum and complicated methods would be much more valuable in amateur circles than nitric and sulfuric acid. If it were possible to show success in this regard, it would be a sensation in amateur circles.

Its nit ric not nie tric
Buy 25kg of ammonium sulphate and thermally decompose them ,ul will get over 1 to 2 liters of h2so4 ,concentrate it by diatilling it ,thermally decompose the ammonium sulphate ,you will get so2 gas im sure and bubble it in 3% or higher ,tge higer the better of hydrogen peroxide , search fir any sulphate salt ,thermally decompose it to release the precious gas SO2 if ammonia inrerfers ,convert the ammonium sulphate to sodium sulphate
What oxalates has to do with sulpheric acid , btw makjng formic acid from glycerine on oxalate releases a smell ,let me say uts the nastiest smell ever ,always turn a vent on not a fan but vent
Great video. Nitric is a pain to get.
That was brilliant
