Thank you for your feedback. I should have put this post under a different title. I really am not looking for a 100% ID, just some thoughts. I did some research an found that maybe this was HCl and not freebase. SWIM asked the distributor to clarify if it was HCl or freebase and received no response. So I asked SWIM to drop some of the product in water to see if it would dissolve. It did. Since it seems to be HCl SWIM would like to basify the product. SWIM would like to do this because the melting point of free base is considerably lower than the HCl. (according to the wiki the freebase melting point is 69-70C and HCl is 145-146C)
These are the steps SWIM has been able to piece together from different sources, although ratios and procedures have not been provided SWIM is modeling after the extraction teks.
I am not a chemist and any constructive criticism and corrections would be appreciated.
1) Dilute 1g of HCL in 100ml of water
2) Add .5g of Sodium Carbonate and stir.
3) Warm the solution.
4) Add 100ml of Naptha
5) Stir well.
6) Extract Naptha solution and put in a separate container. (to confirm all product has been removed I shall repeat this step 3x and put each pull in a diff container.
7) Freeze Naptha solution overnight.
Cross fingers and pray
9) Hopefully the freebase will precipitate and will have crystals in the morning.
