Alright!

Now I got all the stuff I needed and got things cooking in the kitchen lab.

I've not tried it yet and I have a few 'particularities' that I want to share.


I used the standard version, aluminum foil folded and not the oxygen free jar. I wasn't sure it the metal tin I had was really air tight and I also wonder what it would be with the small amount of moisture that eventually would be left in the cotton it it didn't completely burnt out.


So 1 g of CBD isolate from a friend (so I don't have any data for the purity, but works in a lab so he should know). 1 g of zeolite clinoptilolite. Mixed properly and folded.

I put a thermometer probe in the outer layer and put the package in the oven when it was near 105°C. It slowly raised and after about 12 min. the probe showed 150°C. I left it in for 15 min in total.


I took it out and let it cool. Exiting times unpacking! It was unlike what any of you have written here. Middle gray and really sticky. I tried to wash/scrub the foil with 96% ethanol and that part took some time.


Then I did a mistake. I somehow thought that I wanted to use it as a sublingual tincture and thought that about 50% ethanol/water would be good. So I started to dilute the mix (still with the zeolite in it). It quickly became milky since the cannabinoids crashed out. Oh well, I then filtered it with a coffee filter, trying to wash it out with undiluted ethanol. It's still dripping, not really milky anymore but full of the finest particles of zeolite I guess. And I can see some orange drops at the bottom of the liquid (THC?).


I think I'll try to evaporate the ethanol/water and then mix it with undiluted ethanol again.


Well, it's a start. I wonder about the grayish color after the baking. If it related to the particle size or if the different ways of 'activation' of the zeolite makes any difference. My type says "Diameter 6 µm Ground and Activated in Air Flow".
