An Oxyliquit, also called liquid air explosive or liquid oxygen explosive, is an explosive material which is a mixture of liquid oxygen (LOX) with a suitable fuel, such as carbon (as lampblack), or an organic chemical (e.g. a mixture of soot and naphthalene), wood meal, or aluminium powder or sponge.
Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is a form of carbon commonly used to filter contaminants from water and air, among many other uses. It is processed ( activated ) to have small, low-volume pores that greatly increase the surface area [ 1 ] [ 2 ] available for adsorption or chemical reactions . [ 3 ] (
The original mass of flammable material and the mass of the oxygen consumed (typically from the surrounding air) equals the mass of the flame products (ash, water, carbon dioxide, and other gases). Lavoisier used the experimental fact that some metals gained mass when they burned to support his ideas (because those chemical reactions capture ...

In Utah, simple possession of a dry ice bomb or similar pressurized chemical reaction bomb is a second-degree felony. [16] In Colorado, the creation of a dry ice bomb is considered illegal due to interpretation as "possession of an explosive device" [citation needed] Leaving an unexploded dry ice bomb can be construed as public endangerment.
A contact explosive is a chemical substance that explodes violently when it is exposed to a relatively small amount of energy (e.g. friction, pressure, sound, light). Though different contact explosives have varying amounts of energy sensitivity , they are all much more sensitive relative to other kinds of explosives.
Combinations of dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) and reducing agents such as magnesium, aluminum and boron follow the same chemical reaction as with traditional thermite mixtures, producing metal oxides and carbon. Despite the very low temperature of a dry ice thermite mixture, such a system is capable of being ignited with a flame. [19]
Activated charcoal, also known as activated carbon, has been used medically to detoxify patients for almost 200 years. It’s produced by subjecting sources of carbon such as bamboo, coconut husk ...
