The Birkland Eyde process/reactot

[Yggdrasil]

Sorry for entering and deviating from the main subject, but any idea if i could get good yield from magnesium nitrate 6h? It is cheapest nitrate i can get ahold of (35e for 25kg while on offer), i decided destillation is best option for me, only thing that is messing with me is that i don't want to use sulfuric only hcl.

There are other threads for nitrate conversions, please post it there.

I built my reactor in April 2020 and it ran 24 hours a day, almost non-stop for a full year. It produced approximately 22L of ~40% Nitric acid that I have been using for e-waste gold recovery/refining.

It certainly isn't the most efficient, as Butcher says, but it works. Nitric is stupidly expensive where I live so this was a viable option for me. I have some pictures somewhere and can post them if there is interest.

definately interested
