hi, i compiled this for my use but i feel you guys may want this information and i would also appreciate feedback(:


1) Acetic Acid Aqs is poured a round bottom flask the ph of the acetic acid must be 2-4
2) the soxhlet thimble is cottoned off and filled with plant matter
3) Set-up the soxhlet apparatus as standard begin to run water and bring the Acetic acid solution to a rapid boil
4) 3-8 hours later depending on the rate of siphoning stop the boiling and allow to cool This solution should be Dmt in salt form
5) pour the dmt acetic acid aqs solution into a seperatory funnel and add naptha not sure of emulsion so dont mix to vigorously separate the vinegar/water/dmt salt from the naptha keep the water may want to add more naptha and try and redissolve more crap but most likely unnecessary
6) now we need to basify to 12-13ph NaOH(lye) will be added slowly so we dont go over to avoid having to add water to the solution to bring it back to were we need it because it is very easy to highly basify the solution and have to add tons of water like gallons
7) now add dcm or naptha to this basic solution in the sepatory funnel mix but not to vigorously and let it separate and siphon repeat this step with the basified water and pool the naptha/dcm at this point there is dmt which can be freeze precipitated or evaporated
[] taking about 50 ml of Distilled water and placing it into a flask and adding sodium carbonate to it. Just add a pinch to the water. It doesn't take much. You will only be using this mixture for the first wash. Do not use it for the second and third washes. A little dab will do yah here, add only a small amount of the water/sodium carbonate solution to your naphtha. If you have 300 ml of naphtha then you want to put around 25 ml of the sodium carbonated water. Mix the 2 together and then place them in a seperatory funnel. Shake the hell out of it this is the only mixing step where the liquids separate almost immediately so no worries about too much agitation. Separate the water from the naphtha and discard the water. For the second and third washes you want to use only distilled water nothing should be added. 25 ml per wash is sufficient. Perform the same procedure as above. You should not leave the water in the naphtha for too long. This means no sitting for hours letting it 'soak' you need to get it in and out.
9) should allow to evaporate or reduce and freeze evaperate after you have yielded crystals you can redisolve in a super saturated solution of dcm/naptha and re crystalize for even purer pure even tho it should be quite pure

I'd like to cite the vovin tek as i found it very helpful for furthering purity
