Kratom lime drytek solvent advice

What solvent of these would be best for pulling freebase kratom alkaloids from a dried lime/crude kratom extract paste ala dmt fumarate/freebase dry tek?

I have dry acetone, heptane, and dlimo.

I'd like to be able to fasa them out of acetone, but thats just wishful thinking, it could work though. If not, would dilute hcl water salting of dlimo/heptane work?

I have a good amount of crude kratom extract that i don't really like that much, mainly due to it containing alot of tannins/astringents. Just want to see if i can salvage some decently pure alkaloids from it just for the sake of experimentation.

I've heard dlimo mentioned as a substitute for HP's kratom a/b with toluene, but if acetone can pull the freebase alkaloids as well that would be preferable. Then it would be as easy as fasa. If that doesn't precipitate, scrap the experiment and try again this time adding dilute hcl water to the acetone with freebase kratom alkaloids and evaporating.

Put simply, are kratom alkaloids as freebases soluble in dry acetone?

How about heptane?

Limo seems like a good bet, but its not the solvent I'd prefer to use (acetone).

might want to try and find some high-proof ethanol, or anhydrous isopropyl. acetone may work , though I really have no clue.
