From the earliest years, many of us often came across various toys, some of which had the "magical" power of glow in the dark. With age, we began to understand many truths, one of which was the discovery that that magical radiance is nothing more than white phosphorus.
Today, many of us have higher education, but that childish passion has not yet passed and, in combination with our curiosity, there is a desire to make phosphorus on our own. But the trouble is that large enterprises that have special equipment are engaged in such matters. It is obtained from calcium phosphate by technical means.
But after these lines, it is unlikely that an ardent desire to make phosphorus on their own without walking to a similar plant will fade away in human consciousness. Well, we will help you in this endeavor, but be extremely careful in the process of creating it.
So, we begin the "underground" production of this magical glow. Today we have information about two ways of producing this element at home. And we will start with the simplest and fastest.
- We need an iron jar of green peas or olives, charcoal for kebabs, some sand and human urine.
- So, we take this iron "dish" and go with it to the toilet, so that in the end there was a liquid yellow human waste product. You should not overdo it and the volume should be kept the same that is sent to the clinic for tests.
- Then we add sand to the jar in such an amount that the urine is completely dissolved in it. Then we fill in the coal and stir everything thoroughly.
- Well, now we have the last step - we need to place this mixture in the stove or in the fireplace. In general, the main rule is to maintain a high boiling point.
After that, you take out an iron can and direct your gaze to its bottom, where a white precipitate should appear, which is a full-fledged white phosphorus. What are you going to do with it in the future is your business, but do not forget that it is poisonous.
In addition, phosphorus can be obtained in another way. But, unfortunately, it is too difficult in technical terms of implementation. Phosphorus can be obtained from matchboxes, but you will have to take hydrochloric acid, access to which is not available to every person. Therefore, if you are so impatient to create phosphorus yourself, then return to the simple method. We wish you good luck!
