A-OIL to DRY SPEED, can i use other acid?

[FAM028]

Hello,
Im looking to make some speed from 1 liter A-OIL, i mostly understand the proccess but have couple question, 97% h2so4 is really hard to find in my country, can i use HCL instead? I have access to 15% sulfuric acid with water or to ELECTROLYTE BATTERY ACID 38%, i dont plan to use it as it is in reaction but maybe there is some way to get rid off all this water or other shit in it to get more pure acid from it? Also i have questions with drying, whats the best way to dry it? if i use aceton instead of methanol it would dry faster but then can i use LiAlH4? if yes how to do it? i dont know how to use it even when i use methanol? Please help if someone know answear to any of my questions
Thanks in advance and have a good day

If you are from europe order the sulphuric acid from poland.

Obviusly you could also remove water from a diluted sulphuric acid by vacuum distilling it.

Dont use hcl

The rest i don't even know what you mean

Now i will be a clown but i am from Poland and cant find any sulphuric acid, legally they can sell up to 15%, i know some companies can buy 97%+ (companies of explosives precursors for example) but as far as i know they cant sell legally it, do you maybe have some source? is there a way to do vacuum distillation at home enviroment? maybe i can try to just boil out water? i think it will work but will take ages but i have time pls correct me if im wrong. The rest someone told me best way to dry it after adding acid is to use LiAlH4 but never mind with that, i meant whats the best way to dry it fast? at home enviroment? my budget is limited but was thinking to buy vacum filter to dry?

If you don't want to buy a vacuum still and a pump i wouldn't try it.

There are definatly a lot of shops in poland who offer it. But advertising it is forbiden in this forum.

No idk what they want to do with LiAlH4 but if you don't have a vacuum filter just filter it with a coffe filter and air dry it on a glas plate

You can buy 98% acid in Poland without any problem
