I remember, in the 80's, me and my friends were making a common experiment we called "making hydrazine". We mixed dry "Chlorinated lime"
(czechoslovakian production, unknown purity) with "Ammonium saltpeter with dolomite" (granules, also czechoslovakian production, unknown composition),
the dark rust-brown type, produced here maybe in the 60's-80's. The mixture soon changed into a bubbling liquid producing a very dense white smoke and
strong ammonia odor. Did anyone isolated at least a small amount of hydrazine from that mixture? |
