TEK Ethyl acetate approach [CIELO]

Can you help me?
Read post before this, now i add fresh ea 30ml an put it on magnetic stier and agein i got withe powder on bottom of jar
I have fumaric acid in fresh ea that is like small powerd particles in my jar with cactus i got way biger particles like snow flakes

I think everything is mescaline. Collect what you have.

Mag stirrer will produce finer powder (which are really tiny xtlas), more resting resting/waiting will produce larger crystals.

Oops. Ok. I misunderstood. From;



I had my "steps" labelled as a), b) and c).
You said in your "step 3)" to add EA and go to "step 3)" which I assumed was a typo and meant my "step
c); Should I add more citric acid?"

I wondered it would not matter, since it all should dissolve. It did not. I'm quite certain those are the exact same citric acid crystals that went in there. But ok. We'll wait.

After waiting, collect what you think is the exact same citric acid. Then add 100mg of citric acid to the filtered EA. It should dissolve over time, proving to you that what you collected is not citric acid. Make sense?

Before collecting swirl the jar and get a feel for how fast the powder settles down. Do the same after filtering and adding 100mg of citric acid. You should notice a big difference in how fast the citric acid settles (fast) vs mescaline citrate (much slower).

You can also taste the powder, if it doesn't taste like citric acid, it's not citric acid and vice versa

Thank you for replay

Asking the chemist here :

I'm using VINEGAR instead of citric acid, to create SPEX (san pedro extract, a more full spectrum approach).
Observation : I added 100ml vinegar for 1L EA ; , and generaly i recover close to 100%. but last time i recovered only 85ml ; can EA absorb that much ?!! I can't compute where the vinegar went ! (only parameter change is : i used a different lime brand, but same same , generally result are equal ; and it was hotter (30°C vs 24°C ) )

Question 2 : Cleaning my solvent, i just added sodium carbonate to the EA on the mixer. Sodium carb dissolved, an a water layer formed at the bottom. I'm trying to understand why the water is pushed out of the EA
Any recomendation on cleaning the EA without loosing the potentially residual alkaloid left behind (i do only 1 back salting, it takes at least 24h of stirring... )
