Title: Chemical extraction
Post by: gala3097 on July 20, 2012, 10:35:45 AM

Hello again, my new chemistry friends!

 As a beginner i have a lots of question, and one is about "extraction", if there is something called that ;)

 Lets use black powder as an example;
As my information, black powder concists of three compounds: nitrate, charcoal and sulfur.
How do one extract those three, so one can put the three different substances in three different containers?

 I guess black powder is the same as used in blank-firing ammunition?

Thank you in advance ))

check solubilities of these compounds (water, organic solvents)
