Ready to start cooking meth from our recipe, but don't know where to get the right ingredients?
We will tell you everything you need to know to get them with no worries.
Red phosphorus
Purchased red phosphorus comes in various degrees of purity. Technical - darker in color, but coarser. Chemically pure is lighter, finer, and more active. Depending on the quality of the phosphorus, the proportions may be adjusted slightly.We will tell you everything you need to know to get them with no worries.
Red phosphorus
Obtained from matchboxes.Red phosphorus is part of the red phosphorus surface.
The striking surface on modern matchboxes is typically composed of 25% powdered glass or other abrasive material, 50% red phosphorus, 5% neutralizer, 4% carbon black, and 16% binder.
Hydrochloric acid (36%-38%) can be purchased from hardware store. Using a blade, tear the striking surface off the matchboxes with as little paper as possible and pour acid on the scoops. Warm it in a water bath for about 10-15 minutes. The acid becomes a dirty color and all kinds of debris floats in it.
The main thing is to follow the important rules:
- 1 Do not put your face in the glass - HCI vapors are very unpleasant and can irritate the mucous membranes and cause burns.
- 2 Handle the glass of the striking surface with care.After a few minutes, they will turn red on one side and black on the side where the paper was. Catch this moment and carefully drain the acid. Rinse with water, and then again with acid. After that, once again pour a new portion of acid and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with water. Dump what's left of the striking surface (dark red thin plates) onto a glass or flat plate, rub with a blade, and wash out the remaining dirt with a syringe.
Recovery of spent phosphorus (regeneration):
After the reaction, the phosphorus remains in the precipitate. Wash the red phosphorus with acetone.Pour acetone into the bottle, stir it well, put it on a plate, rub it with a brush for 3-5 minutes, let the acetone drain off, and pour in fresh acetone. And so 3-4 times. It can be used 10 times.The other method is to reduce it with 10% ammonia (aqua ammonia), but it is much worse and you can use it no more than 2-3 times, each time increasing the amount of red phosphorus used in the reaction by 10-15%.
Iodine
Obtaining from a pharmacy alcohol solution:
The bottom of a two-liter soda bottle is cut off. A piece of thick polyethylene is placed under the cork. Pour water, add a few vials of alcohol iodine solution, and go to sleep. In the morning, carefully drain the waste water, unscrew the plug and suck out the remaining water with a syringe. There is iodine on the polyethylene. Let it dry a bit and put it in a GLASS jar with a good cork. Repeat several times.
Do this outside or under draft, or the apartment will stink for a week...like the ocean, only 20 times saturated.
Another method for extracting iodine from its alcohol solution.
Pour three-fourths of the coldest possible water into a glass jar (a simple liter jar with a polyethylene lid is usually used).Then we pour the iodine solution into it. Close it and put it in the freezer for ten minutes.
After draining the water, leaving half a centimeter on the bottom. Take two 2ml and 5ml syringes, take the plunger out of the 5ml, put a lump of absorbent cotton in it so that it takes about 1/2 cube - cube. You can wrap it in blotting paper, newspaper, whatever you like - iodine sticks strongly to absorbent cotton...
The 2ml syringe collects the crystals from the bottom of the glass, together with the water, and the extra liquid is discarded - and the liquid is in a 5ml syringe (the plunger from the syringe is still separate). Until we have collected all the crystals. If the 5ml syringe fills up prematurely - use the plunger to expel all the water, which should be done when all the crystals are in the case... After squeezing the water - remove the plunger and pour clean water - run it through the iodine... Repeat as many times as necessary to be sure enough is enough. Take out the plunger and push as much paper filter (blotting paper, newspaper, toilet paper) into the remaining space as it will fit and push it away with all your strength. The syringe turned out to be a tablet, which does not even need special drying (if there is enough strength, of course). Of course there are losses, but hardly anyone would call them large, especially since after a short practice it takes about 15-20 minutes to do everything.
Another way to get iodine.
You need 20 ml of 5% alcohol iodine, 0.7 ml of hydrochloride and 4 ml of «alkaline cleaner»(you can buy it at a home improvement store)
Pour the iodine into a shot glass or similar container, then the cleaner and finally the hydrochloric acid, stir gently, let stand for 1-2 minutes, then stir again - Iodine will precipitate out.
And one more way to get iodine.
Add to the plate, for 20 ml iodine, 50 ml medical 3% hydrogen peroxide (regular), a little shake of the plate and that is it. You can get technical 10% peroxide (some hospitals use it instead of bleach for disinfection), and the pharmacy has 3% peroxide, which is also good. And then, as written above - in a syringe 5 ml fill the filter paper, 2 ml syringe select from a plate of iodine in this 5ml, etc.
Option with filtering:
Crystals will fall out as a black precipitate, quite small.Filter through a smooth cloth, preferably with a fine texture (I used silk), (filter paper is harder to scrape off - it sticks and comes off "with the meat").Then spread an even thin layer on the filter, roll it up so that the crystals are covered with a cloth, and place this sandwich between several layers of cloth and under the press (like an old book and a weight).
How to dry powder, basically.
If you dry it on paper right away, you don't get half the iodine out - it sticks. And from the rag it will come off easily.The sediment will dry to an acceptable level in 10 minutes and completely in two hours. Do not dry in the heat - much will fly away. However there is an opinion that it takes longer to dry - 15-20 hours...
