So SWIM was doing some naphta pulls on a hot mimosa hostilis tea. Got 3 of them together and as soon as the naphta left the hot tea it started getting cloudy, showing it was oversatturated with spice.
Now the question Swim has is : if you try to wash saturated naphta with sodium carbonate water to get rid of any traces of NaOH , won't any of the spice migrate to the water?

Should Swim keep the water for later mixing with naphta or is he good like that?


thanks in advance

IME the Sodium carbonate wash can indeed reduce yields, although not too badly. Saturate your Sodium Carbonate solution with salt and you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
