Hi my nexians... I have been performing an extraction with tol and i have encountered some problems because of wet solvents... i always dry the tol but after aqueus phase extraction it always ends up wet anyway...

Right now i have have like 200 ml of very saturated toluene with FASA that didnt precipitated due to wet solvent... the cloudiness when salting was huge but after 2 days nothing has precipitated other than little oil droplets

what would be the best course of action i i want to get the purer spice??

can i dry the solvent/fasa mixture in epsom salts without something funky happening or loosing too much product into the epsom salt?? since the spice is dissolved in the water and the fumarate is more soluble in water than it is in either acetone or tol...

thanks so much

Yes, heat the MgSO4, and pour the organic solvent over it. Wait 5-10 minutes and run through a filter.

Not sure if that wouldn't cause the DMT fumarate to crystallize out onto the magnesium fumarate.

yeah that is what im refering too.... i thought that since the fumarate is water soluble and the epsom will suck water then its my belief all dmt would get trapped inside the epsom salts....

anyway I already evapped tol and reddisolved in vinegar to make zinc redux... ill post my result later
