Hi I’m wondering if anyone has faced this issue before and has any advice.
So I’ve done an A/B extraction from Acacia rootbark and ended up with about 7 grams of crude dmt with a lot of plant fats/oils. I want to get pure DMT crystals so I’m trying to re-x with n-heptane.
I put the crystals in a Pyrex dish and added 100ml of heptane and heated it on a hot plate for about 20 minutes. The issue I’m having is that the oils completely liquify and become homogenous with the heptane so I can not decant off just the DMT.
I asked an AI what to do and it said I used way too much heptane and to evap off until I get about 20ml heptane left and the oils will crash out first then I can decant. So I tried that but the oils never separated from the heptane until all the heptane was gone. So then I added back 20ml of heptane and heated for 3 mins and the oils just liquified again.
So now I’ve just put all the heptane and oils in the freezer to freeze precip and I’ll try and do another re-x tomorrow hopefully with better results.
Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Am I heating for too long or too hot? (Only used the lowest temp on the hot plate.)
Am I using too much heptane. Or something else.
Any advice appreciated thanks.
