This stub claims that nitrostarch is first made with red fuming nitric acid and then "precipitated" with conc. sulfuric acid. ... I suppose that is possible, but I'd need more lots more *authoritative* evidence. It is, in my opinion, more likely that the sulfuric acid reacts with the precursor in solution and forms the insoluble product. Whether the reaction is some sort of sulfonation, dehydration, or polymerization I'm not a good enough organic chemist to hazard guess. ... For all I know, it could be a hydrolysis, or oxidation, or a combination of some of these. Apparently, there are no current commercial uses for this material, and perhaps never were any of any significance; so it could be that the chemistry hasn't been unequivocally established.IDK. But if it HAS been, then where's the reference?174.131.48.89 (talk) 17:59, 7 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
