And so i realized that a problem for some was the filtration of the very fine zeolite particles, i had something in mind regarding this but i never actually tried it.

today i did an experiment and the results were positive, and you will probably find it familiar too, since we simply use a non polar solvent.

it appears as if zeolite prefers to be in water instead of hexane if it has the choice (probably other NPS's too but i only tried with hexane)

so as you already imagine, the process is as follows:

once you get your zeolite/cannabinoid mixture out of the oven, simply use hexane instead of ethanol to dissolve your cannabinoids, when everything is dissolved add an equal amount of water in the mixture, the hexane and water layers will separate almost immediately and the zeolite particles will move to the bottom water layer, the upper hexane layer should appear completely transparent and free of particles, and just like in DMT extractions, use a syringe or pipete to pull the upper hexane layer that contains the cannabinoids in a clean container and use heat to evaporate the hexane. (of course if you own a separating funnel it becomes much easier for you)

notes:

1. some oxygen bubbles will be trapped between the water/hexane layers but they will go away after a few minutes.

2. hexane is highly flammable and produces vapors really fast so be careful with it.
