Check in:

It was fortuitous that I procrastinated. I let the jar of the mock test solvent sit in my freezer for a few weeks, periodically checking. Over time, some itty-bitty white solids could be view floating in the solvent. I pulled the rest of the DMT out of the mini A/B and will now do another to clean it of the plastic particles in question.

Voids feeling worrisome again maybe it's the flu.

Several months ago I proceeded with an extraction using a different solvent than my usual naphtha. Unfortunately, this solvent had a antitrust agent in it, which made me feel unsafe about trying to smoalk any of it. Following a recommendation (thanks loveall and dreamer), I back salted and re-extracted the DMT. Because I had some other DMT to re-x, I decided to re-x this batch as well.

During the first evap cycle, I noticed a dark reddish oil like liquid precipitating and floating in the solvent. During freeze precipitation, the reddish oil sank to the bottom of the dish and settled.

I performed two more recrystalizations. The picture shows some discoloration, that under normal circumstances I would just shrug off, but given the nature of the original solvents used, would like a little feedback before I decide to enjoy this.

Hi Voidmatrix,

hard to say. IIRC there could be some activated carbon wash somewhere in the process? If that would help against that antirust traces concern idk

Are you worried your product may give you the urge to start pursuing the following activities:

prohibiting agreements or practices that restrict free trading and competition between business. This includes in particular the repression of free trade caused by cartels.

banning abusive behavior by a firm dominating a market, or anti-competitive practices that tend to lead to such a dominant position. Practices controlled in this way may include predatory pricing, tying, price gouging, and refusal to deal.

supervising the mergers and acquisitions of large corporations, including some joint ventures. Transactions that are considered to threaten the competitive process can be prohibited altogether, or approved subject to "remedies" such as an obligation to divest part of the merged business or to offer licenses or access to facilities to enable other businesses to continue competing.

You might want to be wary of your competitive MAO inhibitors....
And if you get the urge to get into competition law after a test ride, definitely do another re-x


Or a mini A/B should do the trick.

An important question would be, what exactly are the rust inhibitors comprised of? https://en.wikipedia.org...inhibitor#Fuels_industry gives a few options.

If you are not in a position to distill your solvent, it might be a good idea to treat it with active carbon before using it for extractions.

Oh, my, thank you so much for making me hate autocorrect that much more. That was great And yes, I'm too tired to do any of that, so that's what I'm worried about

The fuel is Crown brand white gas camping fuel. It says that it has a rust inhibitor to prevent rust and corrosion. It evaporate clean from what I recall (otherwise I wouldn't have went forward with the extraction).

I used about 1500ml of distilled water to perform an A/B. It sat until I had other spice to re-x.

I'm thinking that I may be in the clear now, but just wanted to check with those more chemically knowledgeable than myself because seeing the red oily precipitate with the DMT weirded me out.

One love
