100g Acacia Confusa lower stem bark, macerated and soaked in water acidified with 3% acetic acid for 2 weeks.
The broth was boiled lightly for half an hour and the boil was repeated with fresh water and a dash moar 3% acetic acid 2x.
The washes were collected and reduced to 800ml, and the sediment was decanted and saved.
The solution was now made to PH 11 with NaOH.
2 pulls were done using roughly 100ml of (R)-(+)-limonene. The first was done over 24 hours. The second was done over a period of at least 5 days.
◆ The first pull was washed with FASW (Fumaric acid saturated water) three times. The FASW was evaporated on a warm hotplate to yield a black jimjam, which hardened and lightened to a shade of brown upon agitation with a blade.
This JimJam was dissolved into Water, to which an equal volume solution of Sodium Carbonate / H20 was added.
Clouding was observed, no precipitate was formed over the period of one day.
The solution was checked for ph and adjusted slightly, then pulled with a volume of approx 100ml 30-60℃ naphtha.
◆The second pull of limo looked much moar promising. It was removed from the mother liqueur after one week, and washed with three volumes of FASW.
The FASW was evaporated on a bain Marie, yielding a white to light yellow to light tan flaky powder. Not particularly similar in consistency to mimosa jimjam (which is often alot more "rocky" an pink.
This was dissolved into water, non soluble residue was observed. Assume to be excess fumaric acid from the FASW washes (there was quite alof of FASW evaporated, over a pint).
The water was filtered and NaOH was added till a ph of roughly 11 was reached. The solution as added to a Separatory funnel and the portion on naphtha used prior was added to the funnel (clearly it was not saturated thus seems suitable)
A solution of bean of Rubiaceae was prepared using fair trade Ethiopian bean, and the pyramid shape of wealth distribution was considered with lament.
The experiment appeared to have formed a precipitate. The funnel was stirred and vented in the hope that the precipitate would be taken into the non polar phase. As it settled out it became clear this hope was futile.
