Making White Phosphorus

The failure recently i had while trying to make P4 got me to further research the method and i was basically overthinking it. it did not need super strong welded retort afterall nor did the brute force attempt at heating seem needed. slow and steady won the race. Some changes were: the retort obviously, thin walled can with a vertical outlet. using dark Aluminium powder, very finely grinding and well combining of the reagents, flushing the retort with Argon, monitoring the temperature and attempting to control it, using warm water in the receiver. It worked well. the only thing annoying was the amount of P4 vapour burning up- i could see the flames had the greenish colour of lost product! the camera barely picks it up but just in some frames. Never the less it did work and is repeatable and able to be scaled up so I'm pleased. after a couple more runs when i have a bit more i will do a video on cleaning it up to a nice white product.
