Making White Phosphorus from a fire extinguisher sound like a good idea?
🕑 Added 2024-07-16 07:40:32 +0000 UTCTurns out powder fire extinguishers are often filled with the chemical Monoammonium Phosphate. This is 27% phosphorus. Would you be interested in a video procedure for extracting it?

Yea See what fits best, but a few less steps probably grand a higher yield, but tbh I am not sure how to get rid of some steps.

Be kind to yourself young fella. You're a talented guy, those deep fake videos took some serious work. Don't feel you need to get views by doing mad shit. Ppl will watch anyway, just because you are good at what you do.

Sounds like a terrible idea, can't wait! 🤣 Seriously though please be safe, I'd rather hear "ah actually I don't want to do that" than "my bones melted and I can't make more videos"

I dont know but i clicked "yes" so you can find out for me 😀

Yeah I'm not making it in a car lol. I'm probably going to try different methods. The powder is covered in a hydrophobic coating and has some other chemicals in the extinguisher too. So I'll try it the dirty way and bubble it through either an acid or simply bleach. And then i'll also try removing the ammonia first and converting to sodium phosphate for a clean chemical before heating at high temperatures to see if that does any better

I mean, if your plans don't involve making it in a car, you surely can build a proper gas trap into the apparatus, right?

Or simply bottle it and send it to me. I have some ideas for it which may or not be legal.

Set up a fan and send it. Phosphine ain’t dangerous if it’s in the neighbor’s yard, yeah?

Powder extinguishers also make really good fertiliser if watered down. And great weed killer if you use it straight.
Mr Green
I'd have to avoid making the super toxic gas Phosphine in the process, but I have some ideas for getting around it :)
