Getting Nitrite from Curing Salt to Outsmart Chemical Bans
Nitrites are a vital group of chemicals that are sadly becoming more and more restricted. Alkyl nitrites like amyl nitrite or isobutyl nitrite have been banned for decades, due to their abuse as recreational drugs, and more recently, legislators have started taking aim at sodium nitrite. So today, I'll be showing how to get nitrites from commonly-available meat curing salt...something a ban will probably never touch!

WARNING: although legal, the chemicals featured in this video are potentially hazardous if mishandled. Sodium nitrite is toxic if ingested, hydrochloric acid is corrosive, and organic nitrites may be harmful if inhaled. Toxic gases (nitrogen oxides) are also formed during the synthesis of isopropyl nitrite.

    Just like “gun control” such bans are stupid and have little if any of the allegedly desired result. If someone wants to off themselves or do evil things, they’re not going to just stop because it’s not permitted. 🙄

    Consider trying to make nitrates via the nitrogen cycle, which is really common thing to deal with in the aquarium world I believe if you filled an IBC tote full of something like polyurethane foam, like mattress foam, and had it circulate with a bubbler, you could convert significant quantities of protein materials, perhaps beans, into nitrate. Removing it from all the water would be tricky but doable via some sort of evaporation pond or DIY drum rotary evaporator/dehydrator.

    What if the salt mixture would be disolved in water, boiled down, cooled so that a part of the sodium chloride crash out and repeated until a reasonably concentrated solution of sodium nitrite remains that can be evaporated and used as it is or purified with ethanol? It would be fairly low-tech procedure that can process larger amounts or salt mixture. It's like NurdRage's video about making potassium chlorate out of bleach when he boiled down the sodium chlorate solution to get rid of sodium chloride.

    Restricting chemicals due idiots is a futile attempt of solving the problem and in fact might have a paradoxical effect because people will figure out synthetic pathways from the most basic, abundant and impossible to regulate starting materials. Sure that means it will be a lot of work now and will be more expensive to make some compounds but still its part of the fun.

    I marvel at the complexity of chemical reactions, there implications and practical uses. It should be taught in schools like I see it on youtube just for general education for those that have little inclination to pursue it or do not have the ability to understand the full complexity of these reactions. It would be like knowing how to change a wheel on a car without understanding what makes it turn.

    Isopropyl nitrite is also the chemical name for the party drug known as poppers. It gives you a euphoric head rush as well as relaxing a lot of smooth muscles in your body. This is the reason it has gained popularity among gay men, due to how it facilitates anal sex. Also, the exact effects and duration of the nitrite is dictated by the length and branching of the carbon chain. Short chains and highly branched chains like isopropyl or isoamyl nitrite have a much more intense effect, but a shorter lived effect. Longer and straighter chain nitrites have a longer duration effect but are typically weaker.
