Experimental: Extracting mescaline carbonate bubbling CO2

[Transform]

So the ethanol 96 made a slightly different mescaline carbonate than the iso99 I made in the past. Was a much white grain in the past

I’ll test solubility in a few days

IPA and ethanol will pull slightly different impurity profiles, I guess. And, rather than guessing, that solid material needs definitive analysis. It reminds me rather a lot of calcium acetate just from visual appearance.

You did mention having treated one or other of your extractions with lime higher up this page. What salt form was the "1.9 grams of dirty Kash extract"? The original tek mentions HCl for salting, but I can imagine you using acetic instead (which is fine).

I used hcl for the kash. I’m gonna get iso99 again since I prefer to ethanol.

Calcium acetate highly unlikely since didn’t use vinegar at any point. Don’t have reagent for mescaline so I’ll just test oral dose sometime soon

Edit: wouldn’t any acids become water when neutralize with base?

OK, definitely not acetate then

You'll still have 1 mole of CaCl₂ for every 2 moles of mesc.HCl, as well as the 2 moles of water:
Ca(OH)₂ + 2(Mesc.HCl) → CaCl₂ + 2H₂O + 2Mesc.[=freebase]

So at least some of that calcium chloride must be hanging around in solution - less so with the IPA, perhaps - because there was water mixed with your alcohols, right?

Or did you establish that CaCl₂ had/would have minimal solubility in those systems? I'd look this up, but it'll have to be later.
