Discussion Making your own sn

[august4you]

How feasible is it to just make your own sn? Also not chemist if that helps. I just rlly want the pain to end and this pathetic life to be over

I think on the web you could find instructions i guess. But i assume its not that easy. This is what i have found: https://www.sciencemadness.org/smwiki/index.php/Sodium_nitrite#Preparation
Seems to me rather complicated with household items. In europe there is a legit source and also in Malaysia bit the shipping is expensive

I have a friend that is a chemistry major and according to them it's easy to synthesize nitrate to nitrite. BUT they're a chemistry major. I have no idea how possible it is for the average person.

"Industrial production of sodium nitrite follows one of two processes, the reduction of nitrate salts, or the oxidation of lower nitrogen oxides. One method uses molten sodium nitrate as the salt, and lead which is oxidized, while a more modern method uses scrap iron filings to reduce the nitrate."

Yeah I'm gonna have to study that or I find another alternative
