Twice encountering mention of multiple "acid cooks", this for the first time. The procedure remains somewhat obscure to me - the basic image I have is:
1. Combine solvent(H2O)-acid, now for a triple acid cook,
2. Add 1/3 total volume of acid mixture to bark, stir, apply heat over time,
[3. Leaving heat on, add the other 1/3 (stir, heat,) then final 1/3 of solvent-acid]?
The 3rd step is where details lack.
Further question: Is it necessary for one to filter (at least partially) each previous solvent-acid mixture before adding the next volume?
For the sake of knowledge, I imagine someone, say, using flask + stir bar over magnetic stir plate, introduce acid into flask all at once, turn stirring on, turn heat on. The necessitation of multiple acid cooks would seem to be eliminated if the stirring were kept constant, this is so? And, any advantages offered by varying the temperature in a multi-stage acidification step (say by even turning the heat down before adding the next volume of acid) ((and, for the sake of simplicity, ignoring in this imaginary example, any fumes created by addition of acid mixture over heat!)) could be easily transferred to the stir plate setup, again without the need to separate this stage in to multiple components. Yet I don't know, any insight would be much appreciated.
Lastly, I could find no information on Nitric Acid. Again, for knowledge's sake, use of i.e. 68% HNO3 diluted with ultra-pure water to pH 4-5 would appear not damage any of the compounds of interest, and would be safely neutralized with base as ex. KNO3, yet I wouldn't want to make any assumptions.
Much gratitude in advance for any insight, even towards one of the question would be most welcome
