Greetings!
Im about to undergo an extraction using Endlessness ethanol tek Extracting DMT with ethanol, vinegar and sodium carbonate - Eco friendly extraction teks - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus and something came to my mind.
This tek leaves alot of sodium carb in the final product when ethanol isnt anhydrous, and some people seems to not being extracting as much dmt as they could from this tek, although this doesnt seem to be consensus.
I was considering drying my 95% grain ethanol with some 2g sodium chloride for each 100ml as it is very soluble in water and almost insoluble in ethanol. Also, Im guessing this would increase the ionic strenght of the polar layer of the mix mhrb-sodium carb paste/sodium chloride ethanol, forcing the sodium carbonate to stay out of the ethanol while all dmt and other alkaloids soluble in nps stuck to it ala Cyb/CTM Max Ion Tek. Then I would evaporate the ethanol, and recrystallize the remaining goo in heptane via freeze-preciptation.
Is this proccess possible?
Also, if I were to clean the resulting goo with an acid step before recrystallization, would citric acid be a suitable choice? If yes, in which ratio to water? Vinegar smell sucks!
Thanks in advance!
