Partitioning? What do you mean by that? When it's an insoluble solid phase versus a liquid phase, we don't really talk about partitioning. DMT is exceptionally soluble in aqueous ethanol; rinsing the precipitated calcium tannin a couple of times with a little more vodka recovers effectively all the soluble alkaloids. The rinsing makes up for whatever mechanical holdup of dissolved DMT there may have been.Has anyone sat down and worked out the expected fraction of DMT that would be expected to end up in the precipitate? I have insufficient knowledge to work it out but it really seems like the partitioning would be poor (not no idea how poor) and I would like to understand.
