Strange emulsion in naphta!

[obliviron]

I have emulsion, but it's only in the naphta. There's a clear line between naphta and the basic water, but there is emulsion IN the naphta. I added tons of salt, added water, added extra naphta, gave it a heat bath, added a ton of sodium carbonate, and no results. Is this emulsion safe to put in the freezer? Or does it contain particles of sodium carbonate? Obviously i'd rather have a clear layer of naphta, but having perfect dmt crystals is not an issue for me, as long as there's no remains of sodium bicarbonate.

Edit: it has the consistency of a bubbly gel, when taken out of the naphta. Maybe these are oils or something? i extracted a kg without defatting it, but idk. any pro chemists in here?

Sodium bicarbonate is not a good base to use when extracting DMT. Where did you get this idea from?

You need to add a stronger base like lye, or trisodium phosphate or potassium hydroxide or at least sodium carbonate.

Did you check the FAQ?

I bet it is plant fats and oils. You could do freeze to clear the naptha but dont smoke the product!:d
I did defat last time and the naptha was exactly like your describe it.

Sodium carbonate is not bicarbonate stop being so condescending.

Would it be safe to percip or evaporate?

I don`t understand you ... ? Are you using sodium carbonate or bicarbonate?

 

[obliviron]

Sorry, i put bicarb by accident, i used carbonate

I would prezip to save the naptha and then redissolve the Goo you get back into the solution you do the pulls on. But base that solution good before you try again.

What im gonna do is evap completely, FASA it, and see what happens . This should tell me if anything went wrong. I think its most likely fats, and dmt inside the fat. Sucks losing the naphta, but its not really the end of the world.

Edit: theres no point percipitating it cause it's like 90% goo with a tiny bit of naphta. I think the fats are just binding to the naphta cause it was a kg

Does anyone know if the fats are basic? Im sure they have SOME psychoactive properties, and I dont smoke dmt so its ok if i don't get white crystals, but should i take the dmt with some orange juice just in case?

if you think theres no loss of dmt.. you can of course discard that stuff
