1hr Waterless, 70%!

1 Hour Waterless 4 Busy Beez

    This information is strictly for enterainment and educational purposes.  Do not attempt this procedure.

This is a very simple streamlined waterless a/b extraction, it has worked (only in dreams) so far on Generic and Name Brand, 30mg Red Hots, 60mg + Trips., 60mg + Chlorphen. It has not been tested on 120mg or 240mg Time Released, nor has it been tested on Ephedrine + Goofy Gas Station Tabs. 
   So far 70% yields of clean workable Pfed Freebase Crystals have been the norm.  Doubtless, tweaking and refinement are needed. Crystals extracted have so far reacted, with no snags.  The main disadvantge is lots of solvent boiling.
Thanks to Geezmiester and VideoEditor's recent work  for obvious reasons.   


1. Thoroughly Pulverize Pills

2. Add 1 gram of Plain Table Salt for every box of Gups used. This is an attempt to absorb any latent moisture.

3. Boil Gups in large volume of (Dry)Acetone, 3-4 cm standing over surface of gups.  Vigorously boil for 30 seconds, stirring at all times.  When complete, allow to stand 3 minutes, decant Acetone. Repeat 3 times.

4. Add a volume of Isopropyl Alcohol (popular automotive brand, straight from bottle). Bring Iso/gups to a rolling boil, stir like Hell.

5. Once Iso has begun to evaporate remove from heat, and conitinue stirring.  Very slowly, while Iso volume is reducing, add powderized Lye until, gups takes on a yellowish tinge (approx. 1g per box).  Intermittitant heat will need to be applied gently, during this process.  Do not stop stirring at any time.

6. Continue evaporating Iso, until gups are a dry grainy dough, slightly moist with Iso.

7. Add a large volume of (Dry)VM&P Naptha, using stir rod or similar device, gently break up gups dough in Naptha.

8. Bring Naptha/gups to a boil for 30 seconds, filter Naptha into clean flask while hot. 'Charming' filters work well, have 2 or 3 prepared, in case filter clogs, while decanting.  Repeat 2 or 3 times.

9. Freebase Pfed crystals will form as Naptha cools.

Optionally, mineral turps, and/or Non-Polar Solvent boils may be added prior to basifying. So far these have not been required.

When Boiling Solvents Use Proper Safety Procedures, Work in a well ventilated area. Do not use an open flame! Have Fire Control Equipment in arms reach! Use lowest heat possible! The Author knows first hand how easily hot solvents ignite, be warned!mad

In that case wouldn't dried Na2SO4 or Mg2SO4 work better/requiring less inert weight to be added?

Osmium,
Don't see why not, Table Salt was added with first try in basifying gups this way, because it was handy, all seemed to work well, so the ritual was continued, its likely be wholly unnecessary, in reality. Particularly if solvents are dry. But since swim hasn't extracted without it, it wasn't excluded from the post.

details?

SWIG is particularly interested in the details on the yield calculation. If you got 70% of the available pseudo in the freebase form you just cracked the sixty percent wall on the waterless method. What part of the technique did that?

SWIG thinks boiling the GUPs in alcohol before basing, then evaporating off the alcohol, might be the key. He assumes the sixty percent waterless a/b yield limit is related to the inherent problem of getting the base into contact with the salt on the pseudo molecule-- and the dry process is just not that efficient. Wet processes--including alcohol processes--are more efficient at basing but also pull unwanted contaminants. Boiling the GUPs in an excess of dry ISO alcohol prior to basing would extract a good chunk of the pseudo HCl into the alcohol. You base the dissolved pseudo in the alcohol. The excess alcohol does not interfere with the a/b extraction because is it first evaporated. That may explain the increase in yield. The crystals certainly look like the ones from VE's process.

You do not mention extracting any pseudo HCl from the naptha. There may be more pseudo than the seventy percent here, not yet nabbed. The HCl form may be contaminated, though. SWIG noticed this on a VE extraction with the pseudo
HCL obtained by titrating the naptha. One batch had what appeared to be PEG that could have sneaked across with some excess moisture in the carbon.

SWIG said with the white 60's with tripolidine, one acetone boil should shed the antihistamine. He did not grasp the purpose behind the three acetone boils, but he is a bit dense. With povidone in the white sixties, SWIG would likely do a turps presoak. If PEG was present, a xylene soak should be considered. This should work with the 120's and 240's if the acetone and alcohol are really dry. If either contains moisture, you will have PEG in the pseudo.

He suggests the use of corn starch in this process while boiling down the alcohol. It will make for a more stirrable, less lumpy paste.

You may also want to avoid non-polars which are better solvents than naptha. Part of the clean in the VE method is naptha's characteristic "laziness" as a solvent. Part of the technique is the purifying aspects of crystal formation.

the 60% barrier

Geez,
  Swim believes just that, the primary problem with waterless a/b's seems to be inefficiant basification.  Swim decided to try basifying in this manner on a whim, and was curious what effect it would have. Low and behold! Swim nearly shit his pants, and was skeptical as to how the fb would react.  Then after a test nano, cool no trouble good stuff! Swim, acetone boils, antihist removal, and because swim read in this forum, boiling acetone breaks down povidone, somewhere. That is why 'turps was mentioned but not included, it didn't seem to make a difference. Swim, calculated yields by removing crystals via freezout, and evaporating remaining np, crystals collected crystals were dissolved in a very small volume on naptha, and re-froze.  Swim is planning to just evap the naptha, on the current batch, perhaps a hot water wash or two on NP, and see what turns up. Swim is preparing to trial run the infamous 120s, but is confident they will be no prob.

don't waste naptha by evaporating

 Bookmark  Reply 

 


Don't waste time and naptha by evaporating naptha. Wash it and dry it if you want, and reuse it. Why not? It may get too dirty after a few tries, but Geez has a hunch that that ten dollar gallon of VM&P Naptha will stand some washing and drying wihtout deleterious effect. The pseudo that stays in solution in the naptha should mean you will have a higher yield the second time you use the naptha for this purpose-- because the naptha already holds what pseduo it can hold at room temperature.

If you evaporate the naptha to get pseudo, you concentrate the trash and toxins that might be in solution with the pseudo. Any gakk that is alcohol extracted has a good chance of coming over.  Evaporating the naptha is not a particularly useful step as far keeping the pseudo clean.

Yup you are surely right geez, swim wasn't using his thinking cap, probably best.  Swim has ran several additional small batches, thus far, and picked up some PEG, hasn't seemed to be to bad, but a xylene boil will be added on the next run.

boiling solvents, and salt

 Bookmark  Reply 

 


Good for Geezer to suggest saving the air..

I've seen a couple of threads specifying salt as a
"dryer" or "to help grind the material"...

I've not noted salt to be deliquescent to any
significant degree (as noted by my good buddy
and personal hero gluefingers Mc.Osmium earlier),
and as a grinder-additive (another thread)
it fractures way to easily as a salt,
and does nothing in solution,
to qualify it as an abrasive worthy of note..

If the salt does anything in this capacity
to promote the process,
it could be to tie up the poly-plastic-ampholytes
during the basing procedure.
("Salti, da Wonder Dawg series dealt with this last year.)

At the risk of becoming too shrill on the matter,
but in the interest of safety,
I am motivated to note for anyone who cares,
that many of these flammable liquid protocols,
if carried out in a sealed pipe,
would be both more effective,
and significantly safer..

xylene soaks

 Bookmark  Reply 

 


A xylene soak should be sufficient to rid the GUPs of PEG. Get that out first and the little water present in the alcohols will not present PEG extraction problems. Boiling the xylene is not necessary, is hazardous, and on a still day could lead law enforcement's nose to your door. Is the time savings really that important?

SWIG has not found any PEG thus far in the freebase crystals from the VE method. He did find it in some pseudo he obtained by titration; he attributed it to the moisture present in his carbon at the outset. Have your tried the activated carbon yet? It should work as well with the alcohol as it does with the acetone.  You could incorporate it in the filter (VE did this while working up his technique post for a time and Scottydog has worked with carbon in the filter funnel. You might touch base with them about their experiences in that regard.

The salt was added with the NaOH when it was ground to powder. Grind NaOH by itself, pour the powder out, and you will notice the part of it that contained moisture. The salt was included in the NaOH powedering step to counter the presence of this moisture-- and at the time one of the things VE was working on was keeping the technique as waterless as possible.  If you are not powdering lye at this time--and you are not-- and with the liquid basing process you do not need to-- the salt is surplus.

Big D's reminder about acetone and the PP/ss reminds me of my need to visit the next town over where the hardware man is considerably more helpful. If they have none of the coveted cheapo stirrers, my mothers' uncles' sister's father's girlfriend will pm you her cousin's address. Or you could just mail one to my wife. She paints. (Yes, she paints the town, too, but she paints with paint as well as with our reputations. Tarnished and proud of it!)

Time flies when your are having fun tweaking. Or just having fun.

swims salt

 Bookmark  Reply 

 


swim has came to agree, with all on the salt, being useless 'as is'. swim did indeed first grind his salt with lye, thinking it would more thoroughly distribute the lye. but opted out on the adding the resulting mixture at the last minute, the first time he tried this, it all just looked so wet, just a mental block swim supposes.  swim is thinking about some hot h2o washes on the hot naptha, in addition, is it worth the effort? maybe self defeating. Swim will first add some dry epsoms, before moving to the activated carbon, swim for some reason feels the carbon's fissured and even possibly porous nature could actually trap some product, but that may be a completely false assumption. Swims also questioned fresh from the bottle iso, being consistantly dry. + no more naptha evaps, that may be where peg came in.

So tonight, in a dream swim will:

30mgx96c red hots well soaked in xy
work em as usual, with laxative to keep'em dry
based well in iso, with a sprinkle of lye
and extracted in naptha as easy as pie,
out pops shiny crystals , a treat to the eye! smile

Dwarfer, swims got a cool fume extractor, made from a 2 ltr pop bottle, garden hose 5 gal bucket, and an old vac, pump.  hmmm. maybe outta write that up. Easily removes pesky solvent fumes and deposits them drain wise. Including those from very small birch reactions. Swim remembers your salti-dog and was just thinking about it the other day. Swim may still have a copy of your zonez post, but swim didn't fully understand it, maybe a little salt to add some savor, wouldn't hurt after all.

and little cthulhujr, slinks back under the rock, from whence he came

Might as well put SWIVE'S salty two cents in. SWIVE once noticed on a humid day that a pile NaOH ground with salt did not turn into a wet mess nearly as fast as a pile of plain NaOH. So he started adding it to the grinder and his powdery mixtures seem to stay dryer in humidity. Just a visual observation, not scientific fact.

Excellent Cthulhujr! Innovation in action... Honestly if a newbee theoretically were to have access to any room with a window. Basement, bedroom, kitchen... Shed? A box fan pushing air to the outside (Turned up to 3 + NIOSH insecticide/ paint mask) should provide ample protection from noxious vapors. Keep the work space door open a foot or two for incoming draft...

One room for mixing, turkey baster syphoning, titration etc. An adjoining room for "Kerplunking." Hypothetically spending only as much time as is necessary in Kerplunking room to get the job done. Hot plates are mobile and can be placed near any window.

Box fans make short work of Xyl and Tol fumes when boiling off small traces of NP in water evaps as well. (waterless a/b)

God bless the box fan.

  The xylene pre-soak, and titriating the fb crystals in fresh NP made all the difference, yields are still strong, with nary a trace of peg!
  Swim just dreamed 5x96ct red hots, max yield of 14.4g pfed hcl, fb crystals were 'froze out' of naptha filtered and dissolved in fresh xylene, titriation yielded 10.3g pfed hcl(71%), this does not include recovery of any additional product from naptha!  Swim dreamed about a nice 8hr reflux of these crystals with some other stuff, and what a beautiful dream it was!
