What do lye and ammonia make when combined?
Q. My friend, a prison guard, found a schematic that detailed mixing 40 lbs of ammonia with 20 lbs of lye, all packed with dry ice as a cooling chamber running into a collector. Any clue what this inmate was planning?
Asked by Sam C - Sat Oct 3 00:21:02 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Was it an ammonium salt (ammonium chloride, sulfate, etc)? The combination produces relatively dry ammonia gas. The dry ice freezes out any water vapor and condenses the ammonia into a liquid (anhydrous ammonia). A birch reduction, using lithium dissolved in anhydrous ammonia is a typical way to convert pseudoephedrine into methamphetamine. Preparing liquid anhydrous ammonia in this way is not illegal in itself, but since it was an inmate (especially if they have a history of manufacturing drugs) there is probably little else they could be doing with it. I am even more suspicious if an ammonium salt is not specified and because a schematic was needed. This suggests very little knowledge of chemistry to me, which is a very good indicator… [cont.]

What happens if you spill lye on yourself?
Q. During a lab in class, I spilled a solution of water with dissolved lye (25 mL of water and 10 mg lye) on myself. Some got on my hand, and it at first it felt really hot, and now feels really itchy. I washed my hands thoroughly. I also got some on my clothes. Will the itchiness go away, and are there any other dangers or anything else I should know about? Thanks.

A. Lye is a strong base. Put some vinegar or lemon juice on your hand. It has been burned slightly by the lye and itches because the skin has been dried out by the burn so use some good moisturizing lotion or just plain olive oil, vitamin E oil or almond oil. Your clothes might get holes in them when they are washed.

What are stores where you can buy lye relaxers?
Q. I need an inexpensive do yourself lye relaxer, I've been going to salons for years, but moneys tight, so I've decided to do it myself. My past beauticians used lye, I heard it's bad to switch from lye to no lye. I haven't found anywhere where lye relaxers are being sold in stores. If you could name some stores where I could find some for good pricing & maybe even the specific type you use I would appreciate it.

How do I make soap from lye and vegetable oil?
Q. There must be some kind of easy little recipe right? Like add the lye first to some water or something like that?
Asked by Farmer John - Fri Jun 20 17:17:26 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. That's a start but soap making requires a fair amount of research before you begin mixing up a batch. Generally it goes like this: 1. Weigh out your liquid and lye. Add the lye to the water and stir until combined. 2. Weigh out the oils, place in a stainless steel pot and melt. 3. When the oils reach about 90 - 95 degrees F. and the lye cools to about the same temperature they can be combined. 4. Pour the lye solution slowly into the oils and stir with a whisk to combine. 5. When the mixture become thick and opaque, it will be ready to mold. This thickening is called tracing and can be anywhere from 5 minutes to days depending on your ingredients. 6. Once the mixture is traced, pour it into the mold and cover with a blanket. 7.… [cont.]

AAA Chemicals is a great place ( and there are many others who sell soaping supplies and oils along with the lye. There is the off chance some hardware stores still carry it, but even Home Depot and Lowes have stopped. (Lowes might have a few cannisters left - it would be Roebic brand there).

A. If you want to make soap without using lye then you can use Melt and Pour Soap base. You melt it, add cosmetics color and fragrance and pour into a mold. If you want to make Cold Process or Hot process soap then you will have to use lye. Lye/Caustic Soda reacts with the oils and fats to create soap. This process is called saponification. You can buy Caustic Soda from the hardware store. When handling lye, please use gloves and goggles and do not breathe in the fumes. Mix in a well ventilated area, away from children and pets. Add the lye mixture to the oils, not the other way round. This way you can avoid splashing.
