Talk:Nitrocellulose

Negative effects
The negative effects of the nitrocellulose in the environment and positiveand also the overview.

 * That sentence no verb. scot 14:05, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I strongly disagree with the statement that Kodak marked its NITRATE film in Red print Between the Perfs. In over 35 years of working with the material I have Always seen the word Nitrate printed in Black ink on the Base side of the film Between the line of perforations and the edge of the film. Another way Kodak identified Nitrate were the Splicing tics (small dashes every 4 perfs) if the tics are paralell with the film it is safety film if the tics are at a right angle to the legnth of the film it is Nitrate. Another thing to keep in mind is that you will often see the markings in clear on a black background, if that is the case especially on positive films it is the effect of printing thru the black ink markings of the negative.

No 16mm or colour negative nitrate motion picture film was manufactured
The sentence 'Color negative film was never manufactured with a nitrate base, nor were 8 mm or 16 mm motion picture film stocks.' is certainly incorrect on one count, and probably on two. The Soviets and Chinese manufactured 16mm nitrate, at least to a limited extent. I have personally handled a 16mm nitrate print of 'The Green River Flows East' (China, 1949). For anecdotal evidence of Russian 16mm nitrate, see Roger Smither & Catherine Surowiec (eds.), This Film is Dangerous: A Celebration of Nitrate Film (Brussels, 2004), p. 197 (footnote). There were a number of single-strip lenticular and chromogenic (dye coupler) colour systems which predated the commercial introduction of cellulose triacetate in 1950-52, e.g. Agfacolor and Dufaycolor. While I have no proof that the negative stock was manufactured on nitrate base, I see no reason why it would have been on one of the pre-triacetate safety bases that existed, but were only used on a very limited scale for motion picture film, pre-1950 (e.g. diacetate, propionate). Two- and three-strip Technicolor negatives, though not strictly 'colour' in themselves (as the emulsion on each was monochrome), were certainly nitrate.

C6H8(NO2)2O5 ?
Aren't there only 7 hydrogens in nitrocellulose? Cellulose has 10, and 3 hydroxyl groups are nitrated, yes? I'm not quite positive, but I'll make the change in a few days if nobody objects. 72.40.101.236 19:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Wait, shouldn't there also be 3 nitrate groups instead of 2? 72.40.101.236 19:38, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Rocket Fuel
Was nitrocellulose not also used as rocket fuel (rocket propellant)? See the entry on Wikipedia for katyusa rockets.

Another use for flash paper
I understand flash paper used(?) to be used by bookies because it could be instantly destroyed in case of a raid -- particularly easy in the days when everyone smoked. Or maybe that was just on TV... --Wfaxon 22:17, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

How to make
Hi there how do you make gun cotton or where can i get flash paper and is it possable to make flash paper??

the reason for this is for a film me and some friends want to make however we cant find flash paper (not even in magicians stores)

Also how does one go around making that Fireball from flash paper? you know the one that looks like its a supernatural power comming from the persons hand? in anyways thanks in advance !!! One more thing whats the safest distance to be at when making a fireball from your hand? (in the term of the other object)

 * Nitric acid and paper.79.66.174.149 (talk) 03:57, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

 * First of all, cool down some concentrated sulphuric acid (98% H2SO4) and some concentrated
 * nitric acid (70% HNO3) to about 0 degrees Celsius.
 * Add two volumes H2SO4 to 1 volume HNO3 in a glass beaker and stir with a glass rod.
 * Put some cotton paper in the mixture and wait for about 30 minutes
 * Remove the paper from the acids and wash it with water. Then, submerge the paper in a
 * solution of sodium bicarbonate to neutralize any remaining acid.
 * Let the paper dry at a cool spot (do NOT heat it to dry it. Nitrocellulose has a low point
 * of inition).
 * Your flash paper is ready.

Viscosity of nitrocellulose solution

Let me know whether, viscosity of nirtocellulose solution changes for diffrent conc. of nitrocellulose ?

There are many literatures available for viscosity of nitrocellulose in solution for a given conc. of nitrocellulose in diffrent solvent or mixture of solvent. Eg. 10 % solution of nitrocellulose in acetone, cellosolve , esters etc. is different for diffrent solvents.

But I want to know whether viscosity of nitrocellulose changes for diffrent conc. of nitrocellulose in the same solvent ? for eg. using a solvent mixture of 66% N - Propanol and 34 % cellsolve. Now will the viscosity of solution be different for 6% solution of nitrocellulose and 8 % solution of nitrocellulose. Will the viscosity increase if conc. of same grade of nitrocellulose is increased. i.e ( 6%, 8 % , 10 % , 12 % ). Or will the the viscosity remain same, no matter what the % solid content of nitrocellulose is.

100°C
"It was then slowly dried at a temperature below 100°C." Is this accurate? 100 degrees celcius is the boiling point of water and generally not something you get naturally. Its not like "store out of direct sunlight" or something. Anyone know if this is the actual case, or if maybe it was farenheit? WookMuff 08:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

If you've ever tried to dry something in an oven, you will realize that 120°F will take forever. 180°F to 210°F ("<100°C") is reasonable even for an explosive.165.121.80.247 (talk) 02:48, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

PRO WRESTLING
flash paper is commonly used in pro wrestling to create a 'fire ball' that one wrestler will throw at an opponent, creating the illusion of a dangerous attack

Navy Training Film
"The US Navy shot a training film for projectionists that included footage of a controlled ignition of a reel of nitrate film, which continued to burn even when fully submerged in water."

If the film being referred to is This Film is Dangerous, then it was not shot by the US Navy, but commissioned by the (British) Royal Navy, in 1948. LDGE (talk) 17:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Other errors in nitrate film section
"Decades later storage at low temperatures was discovered as a means of delaying these reactions indefinitely." (my emphasis) Not strictly true. Research (mainly through Arrhenius testing) on the decomposition of cellulose esters by the Image Permanence Institute and others have established that if nitrate film is put into cold and dry storage before it has reached stage 2 in the FIAF decomposition scale, its decomposition can be inhibited (i.e. the process slowed down, not 'delayed', which implies that it is prevented from happening at all) for possibly up to several hundreds of years, depending on the level of acidity in the film base to start with (which varies quite a lot between manufacturers and time periods). But that is not 'indefinite', and best practice in film preservation includes regular inspection of all nitrate elements in passive conservation.

"The material was replaced by polyester or PET film, which is much more resistant to polymer degradation." It was initially replaced by cellulose triacetate (see C. Fordyce, 'Improved Safety Motion Picture Film Support', Journal of the SMPE, vol. 51 (1948), pp.331-50) for camera negatives, intermediate elements and release printing in the motion picture industry. Polyester was not used on any significant scale until the late '80s/early '90s, and even then only for release printing.

If no-one raises any objections I'll edit the section to incorporate these corrections in a few days. LDGE (talk) 07:03, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Lethal dosis
The nitrocellulose it self is non toxic The toxicity depends of the damping agent ex. Ethanol, Di ethilic ehter, acetone, etc. Erroneous valour LD 56mg/Kg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lacrthxx14 (talk • contribs) 00:45, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

So is it used or not?
I noticed that under pages like the Improved Military Rifle, and Smokeless Powder pages, nitrocellulose is mentioned as being one of the primary ingredients in forming modern smokeless powder. Yet on this page it sounds mostly like nitrocellulose is not used any more because it is too unstable and volatile. Which is it? --71.229.74.0 (talk) 19:36, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It is used; and, yes, nitrocellulose is inherently unstable. The manufacturing process for military-grade nitrocellulose contains processing stages to reduce the levels of impurities that can contribute to instability and Smokeless powders contain stabilisers to counteract these effects; and for military powders with a long intended "shelf life" that meant carrying out periodic stability testing. Pyrotec (talk) 14:50, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Article is fundamentally flawed
This article is fundamentally flawed in that it mixes up the different nitrated cellulose products. Pyroxylin (Greek "fire" + "wood"), a partially nitrated product, is mentioned only tangentially, although that was the product which was widely used and first plasticized with camphor. Early chemists were quite good at elemental analysis, and knew how much nitrogen had been introduced. Pyroxylin is characterized by being soluble in a low-cost mixture of ethyl ether and alcohol as well as other solvents; more highly nitrated guncotton is only soluble in more expensive esters or ketones such as amyl acetate or acetone. Collodion was made with pyroxylin. Only guncotton was in fact "insoluble nitrocellulose", intended to be as fully nitrated as practical when used as an explosive or ingredient. The issues of purity and shelf life apply to both.

The original sources need to be examined to determine what they were using. Does a more fully nitrated product make a better billiard ball (doubtful)? Or perhaps a clearer motion picture film (possible)?165.121.80.247 (talk) 03:26, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Article is also flawed in its narrative of how the material was "invented." If the supposed three independent researchers developed it in the same year of 1846, where is the justification for the claim of who first developed it?  got it - was Schönbein.Wikibearwithme (talk) 05:51, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

So, four years later, this is still a fundamental problem. I'm going to look into a heavy rewrite. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 21:54, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Schönbein & his exploding apron?
Many sources — including this article — claim that Christian Frederich Schönbein accidentally invented guncotton when he mopped up some spilled nitric acid with his wife's apron. However, no source provides an original source for this story (which is extremely suspicious). Indeed, Schönbein himself makes no mention of it in his own account of how guncotton was invented:

 * Schœnbein (1847) "On the discovery of gun-cotton," Philosophical Magazine, 3rd series, 31 : 7-12.

In his original announcement of his invention of guncotton, he does not mention any apron:

 * Schönbein (May 27, 1846) "Ueber Schiesswolle" (On guncotton) Bericht über die Verhandlungen der Naturforschenden Gesellschaft in Basel, 7 : 27.

As late as 1901, in a German monograph that was devoted to him and his work, there's no mention of any apron:

 * Georg W. A. Kahlbaum, "Schiessbaumwolle und Kollodium. 1846-1853." (Guncotton and collodion. 1846-1853.) in:  Monographieen aus der Geschichte der Chemie: Christian Friedrich Schönbein 1799-1868. (Leipzig, Germany:  Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1901),  pp. 109-178.

Indeed, Schönbein provides only a slight hint about how he might have discovered guncotton. In —

 * C. F. Schoenbein (1847) "Ueber eine eigenthümliche Veränderung des Zukers, durch Salpeter-Schwefelsäure bewerkstelligt" (On a characteristic change of sugar effected by nitric-sulfuric acid), Annalen der Physik und Chemie, 70 : 100-105.

Schönbein states on p. 104 that when he treated sugar with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids, the resulting compound would form a brownish red solution in warm potassium carbonate solution. "Diese, bis zur Trockniss abgedampft, lässt einen braunschwarzen Rückstand, der in der Hitze verpufft." (This, evaporated to dryness, leaves a brownish black residue, which detonates in heat.)  Thus he knew that mixing sugar with nitric and sulfuric acids would form an explosive. Since Henri Braconnot had shown in 1819 that wood could be transformed into sugar by means of sulfuric acid —

 * Henri Braconnot (1819) "Mémoire sur la conversion du corps ligneux en gomme, en sucre, et en un acide d’une nature particulière, par le moyen de l’acide sulfurique; conversion de la méme substance ligneuse en ulmine par la potasse" (Memoir on the conversion of woody substances into gum, sugar, and an acid of a particular nature, by means of sulfuric acid; conversion of the same woody substance into ulmine by potash), Annales de Chimie et de Physique, 12 : 172–195.

it would not require a great leap of imagination to suspect that subjecting vegetable fibers (e.g., cotton) to a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids might also produce an explosive compound.

Meanwhile, I will continue to look for the earliest mention of the explosive apron story. Cwkmail (talk) 08:01, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

So far, the earliest mention of Mr. Schönbein and his exploding apron occurs in:

Stephen Fenichell, Plastic – The making of a synthetic century (New York, New York: Harperbusiness, 1996), page 27.

KIMN

KIMN (100.3 FM) is a commercial radio station in Denver, Colorado. The station is owned by Stan Kroenke's KSE Radio Ventures and airs a hot adult contemporary radio format. Studios and offices are located on Colorado Boulevard in Glendale, and the transmitter site is on Mount Morrison west of Lakewood.

Programming
The airstaff includes Dom Testa and Jeremy Padgett in the morning. Other station DJs Steve Marshall, Katy Mitchell, Nina Blanco, and Sinna-G. KIMN carries the syndicated countdown show American Top 40, hosted by Ryan Seacrest.

KLIR-FM (1959–1984)
On July 9, 1959, the station signed on as KLIR-FM. It was the FM counterpart to KLIR (990 AM, now KRKS). It was owned by George Basil Anderson and had an effective radiated power (ERP) of 8,800 watts, a fraction of its current power. KLIR-FM originally simulcast the AM station but later began airing a beautiful music/MOR format.

Adult contemporary (1984–1994)
On June 7, 1984, the station switched to an Adult Contemporary format as KMJI ("Majic 100"), but would later tweak its direction to Soft AC and change its calls to KXLT ("K-Lite 100"). In November 1991, the station returned to the "Majic 100" moniker, and in 1992, the callsign switched back to KMJI.

'70s hits (1994–1997)
The format evolved to all-'70s hits in June 1994.

The KIMN callsign was picked up on April 18, 1995, along with the name "KIM 100." (From the late 1950s to the early ‘80s, KIMN had been a popular Top 40 station on AM 950.)

Adult contemporary (1997–1999)
On March 3, 1997, KIMN returned to AC, calling itself "KIM 100.3." Chancellor Media (a forerunner of today's iHeartMedia), acquired KIMN in September 1999.

Hot adult contemporary (1999–2014)
Also in 1999, the station evolved into a Hot AC format and adopted the "Mix 100” moniker. For the next several years, weekend programming on KIMN featured music entirely from the 1980s.  Infinity Broadcasting, a division of CBS Radio, acquired KIMN in August 2000.

In June 2008, KIMN became the Denver affiliate for the syndicated weekday show "On-Air with Ryan Seacrest." The station discontinued the show in February 2009, but to this day they still carry American Top 40 which is currently hosted by Seacrest. In March 2009, CBS Radio sold KIMN, along with sister stations KWOF and KXKL-FM, to Wilks Broadcasting.

Adult top 40 (2014–2016)
In the summer of 2014, KIMN updated its moniker to "Mix 100.3", changed its positioning statement from "Denver's Best Music Mix" to "All The Hits", and shifted towards Top 40 (CHR). Despite the format adjustment, KIMN continues to report to both Mediabase and Billboard/BDS's Adult Top 40 charts.

The shift also put the station more in competition with Adult Top 40 rival KALC, owned by Entercom, and iHeartMedia's Top 40/CHR KPTT.

Hot adult contemporary (2016–present)
In 2016, the station returned to its previous moniker "Mix 100" and a new positioning statement, "Today's Best Mix."

On October 12, 2015, Kroenke Sports Enterprises (KSE), parent company of the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Rapids, announced it would acquire Wilks Broadcasting's Denver properties: KIMN, Country KWOF, and Classic Hits KXKL-FM. Once the sale was approved by the FCC, KSE was expected to flip one of the three outlets to all-sports. The new FM sports station would likely claim the broadcasting rights to KSE's teams from rival FM sports station KKFN, owned by Bonneville International.

The transaction was consummated on December 31, 2015, at a purchase price of $54 million. However, KIMN retained their Hot AC format as KWOF made the flip to Sports on September 17, 2018.

KIMN callsign history
The call sign KIMN originally belonged to a Denver AM station located at 950 kHz. From the late 1950s to the early 1980s, KIMN was the dominant Top 40 music station in Denver. The station also highlighted the popular local rock n' roll bands of that era, such as the Astronauts, Daniels, Fogcutters, Moonrakers, Soul Survivors,and others. The station had other nicknames as the Denver Tiger, Boss Radio, and 95 Fabulous KIMN. The station was then owned and operated by Kenneth E. Palmer (1925–1984).

Table
The table with country flags shown under "Service area" is confusing - do the flags need to be on there? Crookesmoor (talk) 15:37, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Policy is to only use country flags if they add information which is not already in the text. I do not understand what these are supposed to be doing. Remove.Charles (talk) 18:16, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Contradiction
The article currently says:

"The last bus specifically designed for London was the AEC Routemaster, built between 1956 and 1968. Since then, buses built for London's local services have all been variants of models built for general use elsewhere"

and:

"In May 2010 Mayor of London Boris Johnson unveiled the design of the New Routemaster, the proposed replacement for the Routemaster as an iconic standard bus for exclusive use in London."

Unless I've missed something, both cannot be true. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:08, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

History
In the table headed: "Management of London Transport 1933-2000," the overseer of the LPTB is shown as "London County Council" (LCC). Although there was a representative of the LCC on the Board (as there was for Surrey County Council, the LPTB was, in fact, a quasi-public organisation akin to a modern QUANGO. It was, to a limited extent, accountable to users via The London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee and its annual reports were addressed to the Minister of Transport. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Passenger_Transport_Board, LPTB Annual Reports 1934 to 1948 and "A History of London Transport Vol.II" by TC Barker and Michael Robbins (1974), Chapter 15 Haynesta (talk)

History
I think bits in the vehicles section can be moved to the history section - leaving the vehicles section to be about buses in London today?

Bangkok International Film Festival

The Bangkok International Film Festival (BKKIFF) (เทศกาลภาพยนตร์นานาชาติกรุงเทพฯ) is an international film festival held annually in Bangkok, Thailand, since 2003. In addition to film screenings, seminars, gala events and the Golden Kinnaree Awards.

First years
The Bangkok International Film Festival was first held in 2003 and was organized by Nation Multimedia Group in cooperation with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, or TAT. Before 2003, the Nation Group had organized the Bangkok Film Festival (note, no "international" in the title), first held in 1998. After the 2003 event, the Nation Group, and the TAT split. The TAT continued with the Bangkok International Film Festival in 2004, while Nation Multimedia founded the World Film Festival of Bangkok, which was first held in October 2003.

For management of the Bangkok International Film Festival, the TAT awarded a contract to a Los Angeles, California firm, Festival Management, which programmed the festival from 2003 to 2006.

Such celebrities as Catherine Deneuve, Jeremy Irons, Michael Douglas, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Bai Ling, Christopher Lee, Oliver Stone, Terry Gilliam and Joel Schumacher were flown to Bangkok to attend the festivals, and were present for such events as red carpet-festooned opening ceremonies, cocktail parties and awards banquets.

Post-coup festival, bribery scandal
After the 2006 Thai coup d'état, the government installed by the military-run Council for National Security reduced the budget for the film festival by two-thirds from 180 million baht to 60 million baht. As a result of the cuts, the TAT broke its management contract with Festival Management and then postponed the 2007 edition of the festival from January to July. With a focus on Asian cinema, the resulting festival was a lower-key affair than in previous years. However, it did host a visit by Indian actress Hema Malini, who was the subject of a retrospective program.

Following the 2007 event, management of the festival was transferred from the TAT to the Department of Export Promotion.

In December 2007, the United States Department of Justice arrested Gerald and Patricia Green, the owners of Festival Management. In an affidavit by a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent, the Greens were accused of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for their alleged payment of US$1.7 million in bribes to a person the affidavit identified as the governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

In Thailand, Juthamas Siriwan, who served as TAT governor from 2002 to 2006, denied any wrongdoing. Still, in the days before the December 23, 2007, general election, she resigned from the For the Motherland party, of which she served as deputy leader.

As an appointed Governor of the TAT by Thaksin Shinawatra's Thai Rak Thai Government, the former governor is now indicted in the US for taking bribes concerning the film festival.

In late February 2008, the website of the TAT announced that the 2008 Bangkok International Film Festival would be held in July. It was then postponed and held in September 2008, with TAT as the main sponsor but with the Federation of National Film Associations and the Thai Film Directors Association as the organizers.
