Red Phosphorous Purification

Hawkguy - 11-2-2015 at 16:44

I've been up to making White Phosphorous as of late, as it went so well last time. One minor boo boo was the loss of product due to other crap in the strikers I got the Phosphorous from. Powdered glass and Gelatin would clog up the pipe I was using for distillation, and this time I'm looking for a way to eliminate this from my list of issues. I know that there's another thread for purifying Red Phosphorous, but it deals not with these issues. Does anyone know a way to sort it out?
