so heres whats up since my goo weigh...
i added 9 g fumaric acid to aprox 150 ml distilled water. i mixed this into the freebase goo, shook vigoriously for 10 min, put in hot bath, shook vigorously until i totally dissolved the fumaric acid.
let it sit hoping some dlimo would rise and i could separate it from the fumarate liquid, it didnt, so i proceeded to evaporate the fumarates slightly discouraged. using a hotplate and only steaming the fumarates, it eventually started to bubble, around the bubbles were dark clouds forming, i stirred and teh entire solution took on a darker color, thinking that this was the end of the water in my fumarates i let it go for a minute, it started to smell really funny and the steam turned into smoke.
i took it off and manually crystalized a hardish ball, that still had a sticky consistancy, realizing i had started to vaporize the dlimo and thats what had burned, but my fumarates were dryer than my acetates had been.
i looked up the bp of dlimo 176 °C, and the bp of fumaric acid is 287 °C, perhaps i could vaporize the dlimo to ultimately make my fb a non goo. so i put it back on and let it burn off, smoke piped off and i took it off prematurely as i was worried by the amount of smoke it produced (in my house), it dried ROCK HARD, no goo at all,
i tried scraping it but it just shattered into shards and were impossible to keep in the dish, i just put water on it and began trying to mix it in, chunks of brownish black sticky stuff collected and floated at the top, assuming it was the non polar remnants of the dlimo vaporization i just went ahead and tried mixing it in anyway, it didnt work. i added washing soda and the chunks stayed sticky and non dissolving, the water turned a rusty orange color and neutralized the fumarates. i decided to add a bit of ipa to it to dissolve the sticky chunks, it worked! they all dissolved and there seemed to be more reaction taking place. i theorize that the non polar chunks encapsulated some fumarates but only realeased them when i dissolved them with ipa.
i stirred it through thoroughly and dissolved all the chunks leaving me with a dark dark ipa on top of whitish orange washing soda. using a hair dryer on "cold" i evaporated some and stirred, more reactions took place. i assume that the lack of ipa to suspend the newly released fumarates forced the fumarates into contact with the base, nuetralizing them. ( i did the ipa part 2 hours into the fruitless stirring of the nps chunks ) i reduced again and again stirring the darkening ipa back into the base and observing more neutralization.
im leaving it for the night to totally dry out and will add a bit of water once the ipa dries to ensure that everything has been freebased. when that water is evaporated, ill chop it up and put it in a jar, add dry ipa and shake, let settle decant off ipa, repeat till ipa is clear, then place sediment into filter and wash with ipa to get all the remains.
when the collected ipa is dry ill add a bit of water and hopefully separate the freebase (which will dissolve) from the non polar burn residue (which should float) running this through a filter and washing with a bit of water. ill keep the water and evaporate it with a fan to hopefully yield clean dry freebase!!!!
