Default How to make anhydrous ammonia?

I read somewhere that you can use store bought ammonia and dry ice to make anhyrdous ammonia. Does anyone know the method?

I don't know about using CO2 but it can be made from ammonium hydroxide (household ammonia) alright. All it is is basifying the household ammonia with sodium hydroxide or a similar base I think.

It tells you how to do it in the Kings Chemistry Survival Guide

Looks complicated. Obviously the precursors are easily obtainable but synthesizing NH3 is dangerous as fuck without the proper equipment and knowledge. eres a thread talking about it

I came across a few threads on drugs-forums about NH3 production but I couldn't be bothered looking for them right now.

Salt, precipitate, swap base, dry gas, refrigerate as needed.

...it's pretty much on the "basics" end of chemistry...
