Gun cotton, or nitrocellulose, is made by treating cellulose (usually from cotton) with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid. The cellulose reacts with the acids, resulting in the nitration process that converts it into a highly flammable compound. This process must be conducted with extreme caution due to the volatile nature of the chemicals involved. Once the nitration is complete, the gun cotton is washed, dried, and can be processed for use in various applications.
