I have never bought fumaric acid but I was under the impression it was sold as a food additive/suppliment. You might want to check your local health food store instead of the pharmacy.

This is starting to sound WAY more expensive than starting again with new material but I'm definitely learning some.


Starting a new extraction would be easier, cheaper and less time-consuming but on the other hand this was my first ever yield so trying to save it is not only a matter of priciple but it's also fun and educational... Pleased


As long as you're having fun go for it buddy, I'm just amazed at your persistence lol..

Also, search for VRP fumaric, should help with your psoriasis problem. Wink
"Whereas modern cynicism brought despair about the ability of the human species to realize laudable ideals, postmodern cynicism doesn't —not because it's optimistic, but because it can't take ideals seriously in the first place. The prevailing attitude is Absurdism. A postmodern magazine may be irreverent, but not bitterly irreverent, for it's not purposefully irreverent; its aim is indiscriminate, because everyone is equally ridiculous. And anyway, there's no moral basis for passing judgment. Just sit back and enjoy the show. " - Robert Wright

It's doubtful there's any nitrile in your solvent, Dooby - nitrile rubber is quite resistant to naphtha. That's partly why it's been made into a glove.

As Benzyme says, a bit of the pigment (a tiny amount) has dissolved into the mixture and a simple recrystallisation would, in my opinion, suffice to clean that up.

The cleanup with activated carbon and ethyl acetate sounds like fun (but I am a total nerd); activated charcoal pellets can be obtained for aquarium filters and it's not that difficult to make your own ethyl acetate if you really wanted to... or maybe just use 96% ethanol instead.

My 100th post! And it only took 5 years!




“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli
