Saturated Naptha is now mixed in water. HELP!

[Hazey82]

I wanted to recrystallize some product that was of a dark tan color, so I heated up some Naphtha (150ml) in a glass using a double boil and added the spice and continued heating and mixing to further dissolve. The glass cracked and naptha has mixed in with the boiling water in the pot.

I transferred the water now containing the spice and Naptha into a bottle and thought I could just add some acid PH 2.5 and I would be able to do a mini A/B but it is not separating.
This is how it looks, can someone advise how I can save this please.

Basify that solution for the naphtha to separate.:thumb_up:

Cheers, I was thinking that but wanted to be sure.
I assume aiming for a PH of around 12+, then just shake around and let separate a few times? There is about 150-200ml of naptha in there will all of the molecule get carried over ?

How much dmt do you think was in your starting product?

I'd just base it, put it in a more narrow neck container to ease siphoning off, or use a sep funnel if you have one, and do 3 pulls/freezes with your naptha.

That should assure most of your dmt gets recovered from the water.
