How to: Concentrate Rubbing Alcohol With Table Salt at Home! For Sanitizer or Fuel. 

Thank you so much for this info and your demonstration. My mom is a resident at an assisted living facility. They are running very short of hand sanitizer. All I can find is 50% alcohol on the store shelves. They say at least 70% is needed to make home made sanitizer. Now because of your video, I can make them hand sanitizer if need be. Thank you so much. I have liked and subscribed to your channel.

You have the best video out there for concentrating isopropyl - thank you so much..I haven't been able to find 70% or better alcohol anywhere. You had no way of knowing at the time you made this how needed it would be during this time of covid19 and the shortage of stronger preparations in the stores.

You have totally saved me I have been looking for 70 to 91% alcohol for weeks and all I can find is 50% because of all the people hoarding items. This helped so much...

Excellent video. I like the fact that you actually have some background in chemistry that helps you actually explain what is going on with the reaction.

Thank you for this video... I have been dealing with ulcers for several years now and I use alcohol to clean my utensils for my wounds. With Covid-19 I have been trying for weeks to get my hands on higher than 50% alcohol with no luck what so ever. You are a blessing for my husband. Thank you again.

You're a life-saver! With Corona-mania, we've just got a couple bottles of 70% at home--too dilute to make hand sanitizer. Your video is the only thing online I could find (and the only thing I needed) to concentrate it. Now we'll have hand sanitizer for when we go out. Cheers, mate.

Dude, You need to find some auditions for voice over artist/actor

EXCELLENT VIDEO, I really like the visual aid!

This was clear, understandable, and very well done. Many kudos!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! All I can find is 50% because everybody has been hoarding because of the pandemic. Your video truly is a lifesaver for many.

I have a 16-year-old and a five-year-old, I showed them both at the same time, I’ve never heard them both sequel to the same thing before ever. 😂 Since I got to hear my mirror, so cool, I may as well say dude, you are so cool.. thanks for helping us in our home. Schooled science class.

Thanks for all the likes guys, this video is doing surprisingly well!! You are all awesome!!

Thanks to my Patreons who paid for the Supplies used in this video!!

Bro that deep voice you did is awesome, this is so cool you'd make the best science teacher ever never knew you could do this

Thank you! With all the doityourself hand sanitizer people out there, all that exists in stores is 70% or less alcohol. This allows that to be useful!

Cool video. Very needed info. With Covid-19 getting going in the U.S. stores are out of hand sanitizer and 91% rubbing alcohol. All I have to make hand sanitizer with is 70%, which is inadequate hence the need to concentrate. Now, not only can I make a necessity but I get to do a science project, too! Thanks so much!

Finally, someone who's not trying to make a drink Thank you

You are a true life saver. Wow. God bless you and your awesome voice.

funny thing is iv always mixed rubbing alcohol and salt to use as a cleaning solution for smoking devises. i never knew i was actually just purifying the rubbing alcohol to make it dissolve the resin faster. i will definitely do this before i clean next time to remove the water

That was so cool. Wish I understood chemistry that well

Good to see you looking healthy again….neat. Trick with the blue Fd dye !

Where have you been dude,. Its hard to find someone who explains how things work while showing you how to do something, Thays just Awesome man, 💪👍

Thanks. I was looking to create a cleaner burn in my alcohol stove while using iso. This may just do the trick.

Thank you for your work, I see where I have made a mistake by using iodized salt. None of the other videos that I have watched has mentioned that important part.

Can't buy alchole today at Wal-Mart they was out of Alcohol, todayTuesday10th so, glad I stocked up on that , also just to let who ever know they were starting to get low on toilet paper to.

FANTASTIC video, phenomenal presentation. Delightfully thorough! I subscribed.

Happy new years, science!

I alredy knew of this method but you did anwser alot of the questions that I had about it. thanks. btw happy new year!

In another vid I saw how to restore suppleness to old synth rubber seals. Using 91% Iso and wintergreen oil. So, OK, looks easy. NOT! In this time of covid, no 91% to be found. Unless I want to pay someone on ebay extortion prices and wait. You just showed me how to concentrate readily available 70% iso. This old hobbyist DIY guy THANKS YOU!!

superb video... health warning and dye demonstration to makit easier.. Any numbers as for bass 50% rub alch to waht end resalts ?.. I realy hop all is good. You are a great guy. I will speak for every one els and say you are a great teacher.. We need more !!

Haha! I was wondering why you were talking so deep. That's a good impression!

Excellent demonstration! Will be concentrating my 50% isopropyl for sanitizing purposes. Thanks.

Looove this video thank u so much! I have a quick question, so what is the final concentration of the isopropanol?

At the beginning you sounded like you took a bear tranquilizer dart to the jugular

70% percent of alcohol is better than 90% for disinfecting. You should dilute the finished alcohol there with some purified water afterwards to make it about 70%. Pure alcohohol deactivates the virus but won't kill it. 70% will kill it. Pure alcohol coagulates protein in contact. Suppose the pure alcohol is poured over a single celled organism. The alcohol will go through the cell wall of the organism in all direction, coagulating the protein just inside the cell wall. The ring of the coagulated protein would then stop the alcohol from penetrating farther from the cell, and no more coagulation would take place. At this time the cell would become inactive but not dead. Under the favorable conditions the cell would then begin to function. If 70 percent of alcohol is poured to a single celled organism, the diluted alcohol also coagulates the protein, but at a slower rate, so that it penetrates all the way through the cell before coagulation can block it. Then the entire cell is coagulated and the organism dies.

Really clearly presented, thanks.

Thank you.

I am curious why iodized salt would make any difference? Doesn't sea salt contain iodine?

Thanks a lot for the video man I appreciate the knowledge, with that being said I have one issue with this recipe. my finished product had salt in it and should not be used on most if not all surfaces, it leaves a thin layer of salt after the Alcohol dries up. I'm thinking in order to solve this I could filter the mix in hopes to reduce the amount left in it but even then this should only be used on the body and not on surfaces.

I knew that wasn't your natural speaking voice and it was so irritating i nearly turned off the video, i'm glad i stuck it out for a minute longer, lol. Thank you for the informative video. I recently got one of those desktop fireplaces Flikr or something like that and it's the most relaxing thing ever!!!! but i have developed a severe alcohol problem.....as in, i use too damn much keeping the fire going, lol. Will "purifying" the 91% Isopropyl alcohol cause it to burn more efficiently/longer? Are there any tips i could try that spring to mind? Sorry for the weird question but any help would be appreciated, lol.

Great presentation 👍, this was fun to do at home and serve the purpose I need it

Lets say you are stranded in the outback without gas. But you have a lot of beer and salt for some reason. Could this method be used to create 95% ethanol to run an engine?

Did you think in 2016 that in 2020 this video would be useful to help people in a time of need?

I do this to clean my bawng all the time! I had no clue that I was performing a science experiments all along! Thanks! Lol

Will it work with ethanol-water. Like separating ethanol from destiled vodka?

great video! ill check out your other videos, so i might just suscribe!

This was incredibly helpful

Very informative. So if I’m attempting to create a batch of higher concentrated alcohol to use for making hand sanitizer or wipes, will there still be any salt residue in the upper layer of alcohol or will it all remain at the bottom in the layer with the separated water? Thanks!

12:29 fun though if you use thinner jar and long you can have less waste alcohol in the bottom :D

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Video. I do have a question though, can the same thing be done with ethanol?

If you were to use Iodized salt, would the mixture be fully soluble?

Well done, very informative. Tony

thought I was watching optimus prime give a chemistry class..

This is how you marinate salt. Makes a damn good steak once dried.

This was awesome! Thanks for that!

Thank you 😊

great video I'll get a couple of people that use RU-vid as a schooling tool that donate for being taught cool stuff like thank you for this educational experience

Once again thank you for the great video. I was wondering can this process be used with the green Wintergreen 50% isopropyl alcohol

Very interesting and easy. Thank you.

Great video, and I ready needed this info with the present-day pandemic at hand. I'm currently in a third world country with no rubbing alcohol (or even vodka) on the shelves ANY store. So I decided to start brewing. I wasn't looking forward to trying to build a distiller out of local materials, ESPECIALLY since all stoves run on propane. One tiny steam leak, and KaBamm!. I do have one question though. Fortunately, I had packed Kosher salt, but it's a limited supply (nope, they don't sell that here either). What is the easiest way to dry the salt afterwards in order to reuse it (BTW, no oven either, although I could stack bricks over a wood or charcoal fire to improvise one.)? Thanks.

It honestly looked like there was a 3rd layer on top after you added the food color. A distinctive yellow line towards the top of the purple / maroon layer.

Worked awesome thanks for sharing.

When I attempted this; My solution remained foggy even 15 minutes after leaving to settle. The salt I used is not iodized. But, does contain calcium silicate. Could this be the cloudiness? I used 91% isopropyl. And am hoping the cloudiness settles as time goes by

Awesome dude!!!

What do you use the alcohol for?

Great reaction, i really like your channel, Subbed!

Thanks for sharing. Can I concentrate Vodka to 95% to make Limanchilo ( Italian drink) when ready I will add water to get it back to 40 a50%. Will Be this safe to drink?

Brother!! You should also think of singing. I bet you can sing better than Phil Anselmo. I subscribed mainly because of your amazing voice. youve got talent. Please try getting into voice acting or singing. Id be such a huge fan. of course its your choice. But Im already a fan. The Chemistry is also Strong in this one. Lolz Cheers from India

When u concentrate the alochol is there a way to keep the salt out of your finished concentrate? Also would the same method apply if using an alochol like Everclear 151?

After I separate the alcohol and I mix aloe to make hand sanitizer. I get this with cotton looking thing forming and floating inside. What is it? And will it still work as hand sanitizer?

is it possible with ethanol too?

Wow, I wasn't expecting the food colouring to separate as if did. I'm guessing the colouring liquid contains a small quantity of alcohol to start with.

Your voice is incredible. You should consider voice acting.

AWESOME VIDEO! I’m trying this right now with 50% rubbing alcohol, but it isn’t working. I just checked the ingredients on the back and it says: water, ethyl alcohol, denatonium benzonate, camphor. Will this still work or did the dollarama do me wrong?

Wow very cool demonstration man, i am gonna do this today with kosher salt, 91% isopropol alcohol nd blue food coloring to make a concentrated version of alcohol to add to my diesel fuel tank because i have water in the fuel, i will come back and tell you if it works : ), when you were doing this i envisioned you making a cool lava lamp : ) weird huh? maybe you can make a video of how this takes water out of diesel fuel ? Have a great day and thanks again for sharing your cool video !!!

Thank you so much for this video , my question : is there anyway to make the alcohol look clear again after changing its color? And what you did can be donne with ethanol?

Awesome.

So if it turns cloudy does that means that’s u can used it

he's a very careful worker, isn't he?

I am wondering it is preferred to use isipropinal alcohol to remove the resin from cannabis in your opinion would it be better to use the drinkable alcohol to make cannabis oil? I thought of making moonshine to do the removal as some are up as high as 130 proof? What is your thoughts?

Love the video one question can one use sea salt

pretty awsome thanks

Good job

awesome video my man

How can I do it with wintergreen alcohol ( 50% rubbing alcohol).

Does this work with ETHANOL??? If so, I could make actual sanitizer with this, after distilling the alcohol from the salt. Since salt is a solid, and alcohol is a liquid, I should be able to make pure ethanol, without the salt. And this should be possible after only one distillation. Then I just add in whatever concentration of distilled water that I need, to make a 70 percent ethanol solution. A 70 percent solution is better to kill the virus with than a 100 percent solution, because it allows the alcohol more time to penetrate into the virus. While there are other things to wash your hands with besides ethanol, ethanol would be a preferred substance to decontaminate an otherwise disposable mask. This also involves a Mason jar, and the ethanol can be reused for this. But since some of it is soaked up into the mask, it eventually runs out. The mask is then set out to dry. Disposable masks like this can be decontaminated and reused, between 3 to 5 times. A Mason jar could also be used for the distillation process, if it is set in boiling water, and if copper pipe is run from the Mason jar to a condenser filled with ice. Normally alcohol boils at 180 degrees. And so setting the jar in water, which boils at 212 degrees, should be effective in regulating the temperature. Thank you for pointing out that the salt has to be non-iodized. That is probably why my experiment with methanol separation did not work. I will use kosher salt next time. And will be purchasing another bottle of HEET, to see if I can duplicate this. And if that works, my next experiment will be with a bottle of vodka. Great video! I liked your video, and subscribed to your channel.

This is very very cool

LMAO, was not expecting the look and voice, LOL'd too loud, its 1am ^^

Love the video bro.👍

Great video, could only find 50% Isopropanol today. Is the top organic layer 100% isoprop? I want to make some 70% :))

🙋‍♂️Who else is here cause they saw one of "Brennen Taylor" Life Hack videos? Thanks TrollFaceMan 😷

Love the shirt dude!

Will this work work ethyl alcohol?

This is very useful right now. Thanks. I can find 50% iso but not 91% or what I prefer 99% but the dollar store gets in 50% weekly right now I might just do this. Or just use everclear as its 95% ethanol which is good enough.

So can I still use any iodized salt or will it not work at all?

That's so cool!
