Acetone Vapour Copper Wire Catalytic Heater Experiment

Acetone Vapour Copper Wire Catalytic Heater Experiment

I made this video to test how red glowing hot heated copper wire burns on and on in Acetone vapour.
Be cautious with it. As copper always has a rest percentage of Arsenic, which is very poisonous, it could be that this process is releasing poisonous Arsenic gas also….
So don´t do this at home or indoors and better don´t do it at all…
For a commercial application to use this very efficient heating process which works due to catalytic combustion of Acetone vapour due to the the surface Copperoxide catalyst , it would be needed very pure copper wire not containing any rest percentage of Arsenic…
So maybe copper could first be cleaned up via some kind of electrolysis process so the Arsenic content could be reduced ?
If you have any idea how to do this please comment below. Many thanks.
P.S. I tried it also out with Tungsten wire from a broken light bulb, but that did not work and has no catalytic effect.
It only worked a bit with steel wire from a bike handbrake steelwire…
One should still test it with other wires which might contain no Arsenic… I heard ir should also work with Chromewire or maybe with NiChrome or Konstantan-Draht-Wire. Good luck, This way a very efficient heater device could be built, that only uses up very low volumes of Acetone…
I tried it also by mixing about 30 % Acetone with 70 % Petroleum and that did also work… Unfortunately I did not try it with only Petroleum… but you can do this and comment in the comment section, if this will also work with pure Petroleum… Many thanks.
