Hi all, I hope this is the right place to lodge this query.
I have a
20L Drum of Heavy Duty Degreaser, which is by all reckoning a naphtha-based solvent;
Quote:Oilsolve Degreaser is a 100% active quick break solvent based emulsifiable degreasing cleaning fluid suitable for removing heavy deposits of grease, oil, dirt and grime from vehicle engines, motorbikes, lawn mowers, turbines, tools, lathes, work benches, lube floors and walls, driveways and boat bilges. The quick break property of Oilsolve Degreaser ensures that the emulsified grease and oil readily separates in a grease trap, allowing the resultant water layer to be drained to the sewer as treated trade waste.
The
MSDS clarifies this by stating the following
Quote:Mixtures
64742-82-1. 98% naphtha, petroleum, hydrodesulfurised heavy
71-43-2 <0.1% benzene
My question to you guys is this: Can I use this as a substitute for a solvent in an A/B extraction of DMT? I'm unsure as to the ratios between the naphtha, petroleum and hydrodesulfurised heavy(?). Does anyone have any useful information regarding this? Is petroleum acceptable in a solvent for such an extraction?
I can just as easily get xylene, naphtha, toulene or d-limonene but if I've got purely by accident a 20L Solvent I could experiment with, well then hey... Thanks in advance, you guys are all doing great work in this field and I'm glad I could join the community!
