Iron Oxide for preserving potency
    #5065831 - 12/15/05 05:05 AM (18 years, 3 months ago)

I have heard that placing Iron Oxide in the bottom of a sealed container containing drugs will help preserve the potency of various psychoactive substances by destroying the oxygen within the chamber. Is this true?

Ferrous oxide would pick up an extra oxygen to become Ferric oxide, indeed. Like so:

4 Fe=O + O2 --> 2 O=Fe-O-Fe=O

It needs be added though that iron oxides are harmful and may catalyse unwanted reactions. Besides: most jars who get sucked to 80% of atmospheric pressure either are at risk of implosion at slight provocation (such as popping to glass shards when you put it down to hard) and will over time reabsorb the oxygen.

You are better off using an inert gas (xenon, helium, nitrogen, propane) which keeps pressure constant but will not react with the vial's contents.

Most drugs (including mushrooms) need no protection from atmospheric oxygen as long as they are kept ABSOLUTELY dry and in the dark.
