![]() ![]() So when the pH is 9,5-10 a lot of alkaloids is still polar so stays in the watery layer. It simple uncharges all the alkaloids making them insoluble in a polar solvent and going to the non-polar solvent which does dissolves the alkaloids and this is energetically favorble. ![]() Your hypothesis about pH-range doesn't work like that, as I said when the PH is Pka + 2 you will dissolve 99% of the alkaloids. The base just makes the alkaloid from salt to freebase and from soluble from polar to non-polar. And emulsions is just a mixture of a polar and non-polar slovent hold together by a emulsifier, a molecule that had a polar and non-polar part. I don't think anything is pushed anywere. Is I don't want to buy 500 grams of NaOH and use almost all of it for one extraction of 500 grams of bark! That's very uneconomical! So, what did I do? I thought of changing solutes - a more polar solvent on the organic side will yield DMT at a lower pH, thus using less NaOH than with naptha! If I carried out an extraction I have 100% confidence I would get a very good yield.īut. We need the emulsion simply be pushed into the non-polar - the emulsion to break, the DMT to become a solute in the non-polar. So when the emulsion settled, the dmt also settled, so when evap was attempted - no dmt crystallized! Yucky emulsions not seperating - the emulsion held the DMT, or the DMT was just not ready to pass over while emulsion not tamed. What happened to my yields long ago has been cleared up - I fixed it by fixing my friends problem. Buffa!! I don't have problems!! This is just a theoretical post! ![]()
