The shop had a heap of Uranium glassware, probably all came from the same collection, the bowl was an odd piece that didn't match any of the sets in
the collection but looked to be the same glass

in the past I have rewired a couple dollar store LED flashlights with UV LED's for identification purposes. They work great. Just unsolder the crappy
white ones and replace with eBay versions. There are keychain version of UV lights that can be used as purchased, occasionally found randomly.

I had one for a while from a kid kit, but at twelve, everything was better when hooked up to a nine volt battery...The LED turned a great violet color
for a second, got very bright, then burnt out. Oh well, AS&S sells $8 UV lamps, which is crazy cheap. Gonna buy some when I get my next order.

You can get a 50pc pack of UV LED's for less than that. I finally whittled my pile down to 5 or so. Time to buy more I guess. Took me quite a few
years and many small projects.

The absorption spectrum of holmium sulfamate, I used an LED and diffraction grating with the solution to get a spectrum and photographed it with my
phone.

What LED did you use to do that? Also, is the diffraction grating just a bit of CD cut to a convenient shape? It's pretty cool! I had wondered if
there was a convenient file to burn to a disk to provide a solid background for the grating or if a blank CD is used. I remember the kits people
bought that used a piece of CD/DVD for the grating, but of course there are readymade versions.
If you don't mind, could you post a pic of the setup you used? I find this interesting. Amongst other things I need to clean up, I have a 100ml or
so of CoCl2 that would definitely be colored enough to show. I bet the solution I got from leaching Osage orange sawdust would be
interesting as well. Bright yellow and it fluoresces green/yellow/orange depending on a few factors. Roots, bark or wood and concentration strength.
Thanks for the share

Arkoma, nice place, great glassware

If you are going to try 2NH3+H2SO4, then it is not really needed, reaction finishes instantly, if acid is sufficient and reagents are mixed well.
However, if your reagents are concentrated (at least, more concentrated than 10% NH3 and 43% H2SO4, I used), mix could start boiling.
Ammonium sulfate can also be bought as fertilizer (haven't seen though), and of course, chemicals shops have it, in good purity.
If you have a lot of ZnSO4, and don't mind wasting half of Zn, using fertilizer ammonium nitrate (or chloride) is an option. Double Zn-NH4 sulfate is
much less soluble than its constituents. Mix concentrated, hot solutions of ZnSO4 and NH4NO3, and double salt will precipitate:
2ZnSO4 + 2NH4NO3 + 6H2O -> (NH4)2Zn(SO4)2*6H2O ↓ + Zn(NO3)2
(haven't tried exactly this reaction, but it must work)

I was referring to the fume hood for catching gasses if I were to boil off the water. I hate having to do this if any of the reagents are acids.
If this procedure does work, I'll have to try it (with ammonium chloride and zinc sulfate. Not because I particularly desire ammonium chloride, but I
do like the production of double salts, and this one sounds interesting.

Added some hot ammonium dinitrosalicylate solution to an erlenmeyer containing some other waste solutions of nitrophenols, upon cooling down this was
the result, covered the entire bottom.

Nice crystal Dmishin,
Would this crystal separate a non-polarized laser beam in two? Making the two beams polarized?

Both of the last two photos are sweet. Chromatography of fluorescent compounds...
I'm going to try to make some thin plates for chromatography this weekend.

They definitely are Potassium chlorate. After electrolysis of Potassium chloride the cell contents were left at room temp for 2 days and then put in
the fridge and left for a further three days to precipitate the rest.
The whole top layer was a blanket of these joined crystals.

Nice. Sounds like a successful prep. Try decomposing some in a flame, if you haven't already
