What did you keep from the above, the precipitate or the solution?
kemist said:Whoo-hooooo, Phluxy man ! Very nice, just a tad smelly :roll: (mean acetone evaporation)
This one certainly work!!!
......already done:
- ILPT made tea from 50 g dried outer flesh chunks with soft water and 1 lemon in four (2 hours long) boils
- pooled the boils ,simmered (evaporated down) and let the particles settle for 24 hours
- carefuly decanted and filtrated trough the coffee filter
He then added twice the volume of pure acetone and sticky white clustered precip. indeed formed
- this was removed and discarded
- solution is allowed to settle overnight ( 10-12 hrs ) before it was carefuly decanted and filtered
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
..... in progress:
-Ilpt will lightly simmer this solution to 1/3 of it`s actual volume
-he`ll pour this into large shallow dish and let it evaporate at room t. with fan aid ,down to thick syrup
- syrup will be chilled down and then mixed with some anhydrous Ca(OH)2 to get it as dry as possible
- product will be futher dried without using heat (just a fan) then crumbled and powderized.
- this powder will be extracted with anhydrous IPA
-alks could be recoverd by gassing with HCL (maybe CO2 ?) or simply adding a bit of vinegar or hcl and evaporate down.
On the end of the day , isn`t this more time and energy consuming then 69Ron`s tek ? ? ?
