Question NaNO2 Help

[makingaham25273]

Hello, I am looking for some help on making something I think can be done fairly easy, but I am stuck on a few parts. High purity NaNo2 (Sodium Nitrite)
Ive done a lot of research and have tried a bunch of different methods but am currently stuck. All of the carbon ( Lead, sulfur, charcoal, ect, ) reduction methods Ive found don’t make a high enough purity.
I feel my best bet is 2NaoH + No2 + No = Nano2 + h20 and have been working with that for a while. If anyone with more experience can think of a better way to make high purity NaNo2 Im all ears. More then willing to give a XMR tip if anyone makes a good guide I can follow that works.

You can just buy reagent grade sodium nitrite. You have to know how to ask. It's "nitrite titrant from sodium nitrite" I can see sever brands and sizes for sale, like

Or if you need only a little,

Nitrite Titrant, 60 mL

You'll probably just want to search each add to be sure it is NaNO² and not some other nirite

Thanks but im not looking to buy it, I want to be able to make it.

The best way to make it,mas far as I could tell, was not to make it. Instead,extract it from #1 Prague salt or pink curing salt. You have your reasons,sometimes reasons keep us from accomplishing otherwise easily obtainable goals though

Why you want to make it by yourself, the only reason woud be BOMBS....

 

[makingaham25273]

Extracting from curing salts, while possible, is not really scaleable. Id like to make a bit of the stuff, and curing salts only have 5-8% NaNO² content.

Not quite lol, but thanks.

Specifically 6-6.25%, yeah its not commercialy feasible at all, but if you open an Amazon business account, you can buy sodium nitrite by the lb, theybhad several brands, but like i said its only available through a business account

 

[makingaham25273]

And its easily traceable. Like I said, more looking to make then buy. Controlling your own supply chains or something like that.

Still looking for help with this, leaning towards 2 NaOH + N2O3 → 2 NaNO2 + H2O but am not confident on the proportions of the solution of sodium hydroxide or how to extract once the reaction is finished.
