MHRB STB coloration
    #14865718 - 08/03/11 03:18 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

If using acetone to pull actives from the basified mixture in an STB, should it look like this?



It's dark green, the alkaline paste on the bottom is black.

Doesn't acetone emulsify with water?

Yeah, I just read that acetone and water are miscible, which makes acetone an undesirable solvent for pulling.

Yeah, acetone is no good. What did you use for your base? I've pulled with several different solvents and never ended up with anything remotely green.

I evaporated all the water out of the basified mixture before adding acetone.

I used sodium carbonate as the base, which is why I didn't use naptha.
I was thinking to pull with acetone, evaporate off; and then dissolve into naptha and freeze precipitate.

Funny, but no.



The acetone should be evaporated by now. I'm going to check on it.
If it's finished evaporating, I'm going to dissolve into naptha and attempt to freeze precipitate.
I'll let you guys know how it goes.

And when you added the acetone, you put water right back in unless you bothered to make anhydrous acetone out of your store-bought acetone first!

It's fine dude, the green is some kind of oxidization product.

I don't know why everyone made fun of you so much about it....

You're right, I'm not a chemistry major; but speaking facetiously to someone is not a good way to make them value your opinion.
Inserting facepalms wont make you a better person either.

I'm just trying to figure out in what part of the world lye is unavailable... it's a pretty standard chemical.
