I assume you are attempting to recover the Sodium CyanoBorohydride on account of it being a tad expensive. This is surely a reactant not a catalyst.

Digging out ammonium acetate would be a waste of time IMHO.

That process itself is straightforward, however, the step that I do not understand or have an answer for, is recovering the NaBH3CN and ammonium acetate from the solution at the end.

The fact that you posted the above indicates that you have little understanding of the reaction mechanism     Attempting organic chemistry without understanding the mechanisms is like fighting with one's hands tied behind one's back    Please study the attached articles and syllabuses and then other chemistry books and web pages that can be found online     The end results from the effort applied 

Since the source from which I learned of it states "the catalyst needed is sodium cyanoborohydride" 

Question all sources Some are infinitely more reliable than others.

This chemical is dangerous to handle and its incompatibilities need to be understood.

Thanks for the info.  I have looked at that Al-Hg route somewhat when I first started researching this.  Initially it rubbed me the wrong way.  I guess it just seemed messy, dealing with mercury did not give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, and getting nitromethane sounded like it would be a pain in the ass, as well as giving me the impression that it would raise the kaboom risk quite a lot.  From what I was just glancing through somewhere, it sounds like this route without the nitromethane will yield MDA, which I did not realize previously.  That's pretty awesome if so, need to read that.

MDMA would be my ideal end product, but the routes I was looking at appeared to be a bit less complicated to get to MDA, for the first go round that is.  Thanks for the links and files, I'm looking over all of the stuff you posted right now.  Does seem that Al-Hg is the way most people do it and I'm sure there's a reason for that.  The NaBH3CN reaction tickled my fancy due to its utter simplicity and the fact that I feel, even now, I'd be able to pull it off.  But of course, by the time this is legal for me to actually perform, I'll have the skills and confidence to proceed with either one.   

The attached article is a study of how well organic chemistry students actually understand the mechanisms that are involved     The conclusions that were reached should not surprise any long time member of the swarm     Most of the students didn't attempt to understand organic chemistry mechanisms just like most newbees    Whether one calls it bucket chemistry or cooking in a bucket, there's little doubt that law enforcement agencies can make life much more difficult for those that lack basic understanding of organic chemistry
