It only works on water soluble impurities. Time and water is the best way to get the nasty out
Agreed on the cold extraction. Love my deep freezer, -25fbam!! i use a t5 works great, or i just freeze my stuff super cold locks up all the green
Get some hexane, what you have right there doesn't look good.So I just put the extract in the freezer? I was thinking on getting hexane or to do another run but the right way
Most would recommend you stay away from naphtha because it's a broad mixture of low boiling hydrocarbons, so it could contain benzene in relatively high quantities, not that it's much of a problem because benzene will still evaporate it's just that people tend to stay far away from toxic chemicals when they're preparing a cannabis extract.Thanks for the advice I'd look for some hexane or nafta.
You can buy n-Hexane by the gallon on eBay although it's a little expensive... If you buy a distillation setup you won't have to worry about running out of hexane and you can ensure that your solvent is absolutely free of non volatiles.I have to check what's avaliable in my town's localstore, Light naphtha containing only Pentane & Hexane will also work for this process, I'd re-wash with saline water and then high purity ethanol for highest purity (what kind of ethanol should I look for?)
As for naphtha I'd have to check the MSDS because the word light naphtha only means it boils between 30C and 100C, so it may contain Benzene which I don't want, I'd be great if just could get a hold on some HPLC N-Hexane 95% but it's gonna be hard.
Btw is it safe to store my alcohol extraction in the freezer until I get all the mats to clean it?
Absolutely, a standard distillation setup would include:Thank you for all the replys. Would you mind explaining a little further about destilation gear and process?
