Nothing much to say about this.    Will update this thread with the next extraction. Everything is always okay in the end, if it's not, then it's not the end.

Nice xtals! You say nothing much to say about them but it would be nice if you shared your technique on how you grew these xtals, solvent etc

Then re-Xtalised once with hot naphta and freeze precipitated fpr about 18 hours. Maybe I should say that those Xtals are tiny. I just used strong magnification (about 300x) for the pics. I reality those Xtals are about 1mm in size.  Nothing compared to those in allonetod's avatar pic. Everything is always okay in the end, if it's not, then it's not the end.

And bestine is the comercial name for which solvent? Heptane? Everything is always okay in the end, if it's not, then it's not the end.

Thanks. Here are some pics from today. That's the first pull from cyb's tek but a bit modified. Instead of pulling hot, I let the solution cool down to about 30°C and then pulled with 120 ml naphta. The first pull yielded 0,330g of those... steppa attached the following image(s): a_1.jpg (783kb) downloaded 36 time(s). b_1.jpg (994kb) downloaded 34 time(s). c_!.jpg (713kb) downloaded 34 time(s). d_1.jpg (507kb) downloaded 33 time(s). k_1.jpg (287kb) downloaded 34 time(s).Everything is always okay in the end, if it's not, then it's not the end.

Great formations Steppa... Try cooling the mix to room temp and pulling with Hot naphtha...(should help loads)  Please do not PM tek related questions Reserve the right to change your mind at any given moment.
