Jorkest's D-Limonene Bufotenine Extraction TEK

Migrated topic.
flame plus solvents.......not a good idea...unless its an electric stove
 
yea..a hotplate is just a mini electric stove top...which SWIM doesnt have..so hotplate
 
Ah wait. Just to be clear I wasn't talking about a cooker top, but an actual oven with a door that goes up to 250C. The Limonene would go in a crock pot inside there.
 
uhhhh..i suppose that could work..but it may give you unforeseen problems...ive never heard of anybody boiling stuff in an oven before...i would almost say...not to do it..but maybe somebody else can give more info
 
SWIM just thought of something...the melting temp of bufotenine is around 147 degrees C..so if you put the d-limo in your oven at say 150C(just want it a bit higher than the melting temp) well..you would probably get a cleaner product...because SWIM noticed that if he actually brings the d-limo up to a boil..the resulting bufo is a bit darker than if you dont bring it to a full boil..
 
I'll probably try this when I get round to that stage, but I won't rely on the ovens thermostat. What with fans and all that I'll probably use a heat probe just to make sure things are just right.
 
I couldn't find D-limonene persay, but i did find a wood furnature cleaner made from "100% Orange Oil, Made From Orange Peels"which im assuming means D-limonene. Or is there a different oil that can be extracted from Orange Peels?

Got a link or an MSDS?
 
Its called orange oil furniture polish. The companies name is howard. The thing I was apprehensive about is that it is yellow instead of green. On the back it said 'contains pure natural orange oil, does not contain silicon or linseed oil'

EDIT: Directly beneath that it says ' Danger: Contains petroleum distillate. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. do not induce vomiting etc, etc.
 
Yeah d-limonene is completely clear.

Seems to me a merchant could buy a large wholesale lot of food grade GreenTerpene d-limonene and sell it over seas for good profit. I'm sure there are many Europeans and people in the UK that would love to go green with all their solvent use. There are so many good uses for d-limonene. It can replace many solvents in many industries. It costs more than naphtha and similar solvents but because it’s a "GREEN" solvent, I think it's worth the extract money. It’s far better for the environment than most of the other solvents. You would think that the green movement would catch on to using d-limonene.

Personally, if there are two products, one is toxic and poisons the environment and another is all natural, non-toxic and biodegradable, I would always choose the natural product unless it was way too expensive to afford it. D-limonene isn't that expensive. It is more expansive than naphtha, acetone, etc., but the extra expense is justified in my opinion. And I'm sure if everyone started using it the price would drop.

I use it for a lot of things around the house. It’s great for removing stickers that the kids put all over the place. Just put some on a paper towel and soak the sticker a little with it and it easily peels right off. Then wipe the remaining sticky residue with a paper towel soaked in d-limonene and it’s all gone. It can dissolve tough grease pretty easily so it’s great for cleaning pans. It has such a nice smell too. If you mix a little into some soap, it can cut grease with amazing power. After working on your car, your hands are sometimes covered with grease that’s impossible to get off with soap, but add a few drops of d-limonene to the soap and it comes right off. It’s even useful as a fresh smelling deodorant. This stuff in fantastic.
 
aww dang, I guess I'm going to have to use xylene then. I'm assuming bringing it to a simmer instead of a full boil would be better with xylene too?

just out of curiosity, does one have delayed reactions on bufotenin?
 
Any chance ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), could work in place of fumaric acid in FASA?

SWIM by bizarre circumstance happens to have A LOOT of pure crystalline vitamin C right now.
