  3. Sodium nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_nitrite

    Industrial production of sodium nitrite follows one of two processes, the reduction of nitrate salts, or the oxidation of lower nitrogen oxides. One method uses molten sodium nitrate as the salt, and lead which is oxidized, while a more modern method uses scrap iron filings to reduce the nitrate. [4] [84] NaNO 3 + Pb → NaNO 2 + PbO

    The oxidizer most often used in the preparation of sugar motors is potassium nitrate (KNO 3). Other oxidizers can be used as well, such as sodium and calcium nitrates as well as mixtures of sodium and potassium nitrate. [7] KNO 3 can be acquired through purchasing a granular "stump remover" from stores that carry garden supplies. Other rarely ...
