Could somebody point me to a d-Limonene + NaOH via FASi Techniques please ?

Has anyone tried using Lye instead of Lime with d-Limonene successfully yet ?
1] ( is there any really good reason to use Lime instead of Lye with Limonene ? )
and then precipitating Limonene with a FASi, - are you able to get pure white crystals this way without goo ?

2] ( how to filter the dmt fumarates from Limonene so as to get all the Limonene and fragrance out ?)

3] ( what's the best way to dehydrate saturated Limonene after subjecting it to a sodium carbonate wash after pull, to make ready for FASi precipitation ? )

4] Also, would it do any good to soak bark at room temp. in Vinegar solution for a few days prior to basifying at all ?

Thank you for more info and wise guidance !

BLAB tek, its in the wiki, like all other teks

If any of your questions arent answered, post here again

link please ?

wiki link below the nexus banner, then "extraction teks". Or google search.

Come on, please do the minimum....

Already did the minimum and the maximum, and read that BLAB a few times in the past,
and these questions have been formulated following it,

Do you have the expertise to try to answer any of them or not ?

Thanx

nah, endlessness is new, only been here like 5 days or something

So you probably didnt read it well enough.

Question 1 , has lye been successfuly used? Answer: BLAB tek itself is the proof that yes. Question: can you get white crystals? Answer: Look at BLAB pictures you see white crystals

Question 2, how to clean fumarates? Answer (written clearly in BLAB Tek) " To get rid of orangy smell and extra d-limonene, you can put the dmt fumarate in around 20ml of water and then evaporate on a hotplate, which will help evaporate some of it, but possibly not all. Alternatively, you can also wash your JIMJAM fumarate with a cold IPA or cold acetone or FASI wash, or use any of the methods in this thread to clean it up. This isn't strictly necessary as limonene is not toxic but will clean it up if desired. "

Question 3 - Mixing with magnesium sulphate/dried epsom salts and filtering the solvent, or simply shaking a bit and letting stand and all the water drops to the bottom, so you decant/pipette the limonene away from it.

Question 4 - Good to soak? Answer (written in step 1) "There is yet no evidence that letting it soak for long in vinegar before adding lye will improve yields, nobody did a side-by-side test to know for sure. It certainly wont hurt, though, so if one is not in a hurry, it's recommended. "


Please try harder doing your search the next time, no offense.

Thank you that actually helps quite a bit, now i got a little bit something more to go on,

> Answer 3 :

Do you know if Epsom Salts dissolve at all in d-Limonene ?
Because for example you can't use them to dry IPA, i wonder if Limonene could also be a problem ?

and even though Limonene is "non-toxic" when in solvent form, you wouldn't want to be smoking any of it, similarly as you wouldn't want to be smoking orange peels or orange oil, or inhaling any organic smoke for that matter...

AFAIK, you can use them to dry IPA.
also endlessness (or really, most people) wouldn't recommend something if it wasn't going to work.


which is why stoners are not a thing and why we don't make changa here.

apparently limonene is added in small amounts to hash oil. so it is perfectly fine to smoke.
limonene residue (from evap) on the other hand is not - from what i have read.

I dont think epsom salts will dissolve in limonene, you can google 'solubility magnesium sulphate limonene' see if you come up with something in any case

But anyways that shouldnt be a problem because you're gonna salt out with FASI so you'll separate the alkaloids from whatever else is dissolved in the limonene

You're right smoking limonene is not necessarily the best but it can easily be solved as mentioned above by simply washing your fumarates with dry cold IPA or acetone.
