There are some really cool, colorful and energetic perchlorate complexes. Tetraamine copper perchlorate, nickel aminoguanidine perchlorate are a couple of them. You don't need to heat it that hot, just until it starts bubbling off oxygen then hold it at that temp until the bubbles stop. You may have converted a lot of it back to chloride. Solvent separation using acetone works well. Laboratory of liptakov has a video on it.

Turning things into exploding things is definitely one of the best things

Nice bud. Thought separating NaCl and NaClO4 would be harder

I've been making sodium chlorate for a few months now and have just taken my first steps into making sodium perchlorate with glorious success. I used a lead dioxide anode to electrolyse it further to perchlorate then an acetone extraction on the dry solids after boiling it down to a solid cake. Yield was terrible on my first attempt got only 200g of sodium perchlorate from 350g of sodium chlorate so I must not have ran my cell for long enough. But still enough for my purposes

I think DBX labs did something with nickel aminoguanidine as well, if I'm not mistaken

No it is good if you use acetone to separate because perchlorate is dissolved in acetone but NACl not dissolve

[derekturner]

You would be better off dissolving in acetone to keep recrystallization and purity, if you have good acetone. Chlorate will not dissolve nearly as easy as the perchlorate in acetone.

Should always run a trap between pump and filter.

Electrolysis is a better choice, which could save a lot of energy

We want a secret mixture to make a heat crucible

I don't think it would crystallize first. Probably, your product is actually NaCl. There is (a bit scary) method to separate the product using acetone: NaClO4 is well soluble in it.
