DMT extraction, re-using naptha that has been used to de-fat

In regards to a mhrb dmt extraction, once naptha has been used to de-fat can I ever reuse it? I was wondering if a sodium carbonate wash would work, since that stuff is dirt cheap and naptha is relatively expensive.
I was thinking of adding a pinch of sodium carbonate to 100ml of distilled water, and shake. Then doing 3 washes with 100ml distilled water after that. This is my tek: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4162302#4162302

I'd guess no. Its gonna reach a point of saturation with all the different types of plant matter eventually.
Maybe you could reuse it a few times.
What the carbonate thing all about? I didn't think that would clean the naptha of the plant matters it has dissolved?

I put mine in the freezer, and after the gunk precipitates, I dump the naptha off and reuse it, only for mre de-fatting

Yes you can re-use your naptha, through a number of means. One good way is to mix your naptha with a small amoutn of high proof ethanol or isopropyl alcohol, let the layers separate, and then evaporate the alcohol. Alot of the fats & waxes of MHRB have DMT trapped in the matrix, and the gooey oily product which you retrieve is smokeable, and quite potent.

I just posted the exact same question but deleted it after I saw yours... I feel like it should work fine at least a couple times. With the defatting naphtha there will be no alkaloids so a wash ought to leave you with pure naphtha.
I'd say one should try it and evaporate a little in a clean dish and see if anything is left behind...

I just added some isopropyl alcohol to the naptha, and let it separate over night. The naptha looks frosty, and there's a yellow-red cloudy layer on bottom. I added the naptha to the spice jar, and it's still frosty but the frost is staying in the naptha. I hope I didn't screw over a jar, but I'm willing to experiment here.
Edit: I think I used too much isopropyl alcohol. I used about 100ml, for about 500ml of naptha (just guessing the amounts). Hopefully that means I can just re-use the naptha on top, shake, and seperate.
Thanks so much for all the comments ^_^
edit2: 30 minutes in the freezer, and the naptha is as clear as water
