Q21Q21's tek for bulk extractions - Sucessful test of method.

Migrated topic.
So you're straining the acid cook, reducing the liquid and basing with CaOH? Isnt CaOH not very water soluble? Did you check the pH of the solution?

Could sodium carbonate possibly be used? Or can it be absorbed by naptha?
 
Sodium carbonate doesn't work.
It just doesn't work, kinda like the lime doesn't without the plant matter.

SWIM's 2 dollar made-in-chine PH meter died on him, but a lime paste should be PH 11-12

The lime is used as in a drytek, after the liquid from the boils is reduced and added to a portion of the bark for consistency.
