How to recover from too much salt???

[zatoichi]

I took the solution from manske's, reduced by 75% to do another base to it, and there is 1/2 of salt sludge on bottom.

Do I need to add a bunch of acid to it to get harmala's back into solution then filter through coffee filter to collect excess salt?

Should I filter all salt and base solutions through a coffee filter first, to collect any that is beyond saturation point?

Really confused at this point. The salt should make harmala's solids, so am I screwed?

I have decanted the liquid off (5.7 PH), but worry the haramala's are in the salt sludge.

I give up. Threw it all out. Please delete this topic.

Well, there's no chance of recovering anything now!

Adding more water would have helped. The salt would dissolve, the harmalas would remain precipitated as it's the 'common ion' effect that's forcing them out of solution.
