Would it be safe to make nitric acid just with the ventilator above the stove? I want to make flash paper. (Maybe attaching an additional fan.) :EDIT: Er...

Why don't you just buy some concentrated nitric acid? And yes, please work outdoors when you're making nitrocellulose. Carefully.
I think it averages $50 a 100ml for concentrated and I don't know how much I'd need. It's also not a priority.
Lol, well yes, that would make for a happy traveler....Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! But my little comment was an attempt at a little different kind of humor. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!......Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

You might as well ask how I intend to brew beer with cannabis in it. I just know my lab (AKA kitchen) is only equipped to do one of the two safely. But I do have some decent toys to play with. That and locally I could only find sulphuric acid for sale.
Good. Nitric acid is a weaker acid than sulfuric acid. So you displace it from its salt by using sulfuric acid. I think your method is based on this principle. By the way, I am from non English speaking country. So I do not follow your reply completely.
