DMT extraction question....
    #4095739 -

Say that one just finished basifying and is now performing the final extraction with naptha....

Is the resulting emulsion always pink\orange? Or can it be brown?
And is there a problem if the solvent layer is brownish instead of clear?

Would any of the above problems come from inadequete defating?

Any help on this matter would be greatly apreciated.

The emulsion layer is a light colored brown, most certainly not orangish. Yes I am using Mimosa Hostilis and yes I am following a tek...Yodas.

The color of the naptha layer was just what I noticed as soon as the layer became visible, all and all it was probly just my impatience as it seems to be clearing up a bit now.

Any more input?

No the post basifying emulsion isn't pink as the base should have made your solution turn black. If it didn't turn black you have not reached the necessary pH.
Your emulsion should be brown.

As for the NPS in my extractions it is usually clear, but it always appears brownish before i separate b/c of reflection from the polar layer. Can that be the case in your extraction?

If it is indeed brownish after separation wash that stuff thoroughly with a water+sodium carbonate solution till it looses its color. If you don't have sodium carbonate at hand you can wash it with NaOH water till it looses the brown color and than do a couple quick washes with ice-cold dH2O to remove any leftover NaOH.

I personally remove hydroxides with plain dH2O as i can only find sodium carbonate in 10kg amounts :crazy: I don't feel like buying 10kg of the stuff when all that is needed is a few hundred milligrams each extraction...

Any plain water washes should be done quickly, with very small amounts of ice-cold dH2O to minimize the amount of alkaloid salted out as pH 7 water can still disolve some DMT.

The base solution is indeed very black. I will still take your advice.
