Question about Solvent Situation

[ZaZen]

Following Situation:

The Solvent is saturated to less and not much spice is falling out of the solvent (freeze precipation)

Solution: -> evap some solvent until it reaches saturation point (milky solvent indicates saturation point, but milky can also be oversaturated)

So now to my question: What to do if the Solvent is saturated too much ?

Just adding more pure solvent (in my case heptane) until the solution is more equilibrated, just the point when it moves from milky to clear?

Thanks Community !

not that I know anything but...

why would too saturated be a problem?

I mean, if what you´re doign is recrystalization, then it shouldnt be too saturated because then your solvent wont pull up all the dmt you´re recrystalizing

but in the case the solvent already had all the dmt (like in the normal pulls, or if you did the re-x-zation properly), and you just pre-evapped a bit too much before you put it in the freezer or smt, then I dont think its a problem.. I would guess what would happen is the crystals would start forming/precipitating even before you stick it in the fridge.. which is not at all a problem... It will all anyways get together and you will scrape off, so I cant imagine how there would be any harm done

or am I saying something stupid here, people ?

i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be crystallizing in a saturated solution. it should fall out of solution easier.

Agreed. There's no such thing as too much saturation.
