h0lx Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Is this true, that really high percentage H2O2 can detonate and is really sensitive? I am thinking of dessicating some of my 50% for kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swany Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Yeah, but it would be much more so once it is in contact with organic material. Several binary mixes could be made with fuels that would decompose within hours unless detonated. Starch, aluminum and other fuels come to mind.

Mumbles Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I've used cooking pyrex before with no problem whatsoever. Look on the bright side, you can be sure there are no organics in your glassware when you're done. Another option is to get a $3 beaker and use that.

pa_pyro Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I've recently experimented with freezing 3% H2O2. I froze it until it was slightly slushy and filtered out the ice trying to prevent the h2o2 from freezing too. After freezing it a second time and filtering the ice it must have been concentrated to some extent because I was left with white fingers after handling it. So it might be better to try freezing to slush and filtering before distilling.(remember to keep the ice, it still contains some H2O2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
