Potassium Nitrate is an ingredient in making fuses, among other things. Here is how you make it:

Materials needed:

  • 3.5 gallons of nitrate bearing earth or other material
  • 1/2 cup of wood ashes
  • Bucket or other similar container about 4-5 gallons in volume
  • 2 pieces of finely woven cloth, each a bit bigger than the bottom of the bucket
  • Shallow dish or pan at least as large in diameter as the bucket
  • Shallow, heat resistant container
  • 2 gallons of water
  • Something to punch holes in the bottom of the bucket
  • 1 gallon of any type of alcohol
  • A heat source
  • Paper & tape

Procedure:

  • Punch holes on the inside bottom of the bucket, so that the metal is "puckered" outward from the bottom
  • Spread cloth over the holes from the bottom
  • Place wood ashes on the cloth. Spread it out so that it covers the entire cloth and has about the same thickness.
  • Place 2nd cloth on top of the wood ashes
  • Place the dirt or other material in the bucket
  • Place the bucket over the shallow container. NOTE: It may need support on the bottom so that the holes on the bottom are not blocked.
  • Boil water and pour it over the earth very slowly. Do NOT pour it all at once, as this will clog the filter on the bottom.
  • Allow water to run through holes into the shallow dish on the bottom.
  • Be sure that the water goes through ALL of the earth!
  • Allow water in dish to cool for an hour or so
  • Carefully drain the liquid in the dish away, and discard the sludge in the bottom
  • Boil this liquid over a fire for at least two hours. Small grains of salt will form - scoop these out with the paper as they form
  • When the liquid has boiled down to 1/2 its original volume let it sit
  • After 1/2 hour, add equal volume of the alcohol; when this mixture is poured through paper, small white crystals appear. This is the posassium nitrate.

Purification:

  • Redissolve crystals in small amount of boiling water
  • Remove any crystals that appear
  • Pour through improvised filter then heat concentrated solution to dryness.
  • Spread out crystals and allow to dry
