Synthesis of Acetone Peroxide w/ Sulfuric acid (small scale)

[K0D3IN]

BE CAREFUL!
ACETONE PEROXIDE IS NOT A JOKE EXPLOSIVE!
​

Equipment and glassware:
Beaker 500 ml
Laboratory thermometer
Dropper

Reagents:
Pure Acetone 64 Ml
H2O2 %50 47 Ml
H2SO4 5 Ml
Sodium Carbonate solution (%2)
Distilled Water

​

First mix the acetone and Hydrogen peroxide and fix the temperature between 0-10°C, then start dripping the sulfuric acid from the sides of the beaker while constantly stirring the mixture with the thermometer. Let the mixture rest for 8-10 hours, then strain the mixture through a coffee filter. Rinse the acetone peroxide several times with distilled water, then rinse with 2% sodium carbonate solution and let dry. Acetone peroxide is ready, be careful!

I apologize to all of you for forgetting to mention that if the temperature is between 10-20°C, the Dimer (DADP) is formed, if it is between 0-10°C, the trimer (TATP) is formed.
