Hello darlings, I'm new! Not in the manufactured sense.
Has anyone tried electrolysis for producing oxidizers.
A platinum anode is costly but very, very useful and lasts 4ever. Metal sulfates can be decomposed to form the acid by plating out the metal. Cuso4 works well. The cathode; metal or graphite receives the copper and when removed from the cell leaves dilute sulfuric acid which can be concentrated by boiling.
Dilute nitric acid can be concentated by electrolysis and dissolved no2 is oxidised to n2o5, the anhydride, which remains in the solution. Production of chlorates and perchlorates is greatly simplified using platinum. It's just possible that electrolysing a stoichiometric mixture of hexamine, ammonium nitrate and glacial acetic acid will result in the formation of cyclonite. The acetic acid keeps the reactants in solution but does not contribute to the reaction.
