Regardless of the base used, it's still obtainable.
Yeah it's better to do with a weaker base
Now in the case of 2% Iodine tincture, can someone please explain why Ibee's two separate cases of excess chems turned his solution clear???
NO SLUDGE! No sign of I2....clear as water!
Clear with excess hcl.
Clear with excess h2o2.
Is there a recoverable remedy for clear solution due to excess chemical additions?
Logic suggests bring the pH back UP!
Ibee switched to the more favorable, less chem, method of using h2so4 and bleach since that time for tincture treatment.
But he trashed those other botched batches because he couldn't find any info on the subject.
For a lack of knowing exactly what to do, or the proper steps and measurements needed, how's about someone offer up some useful information to help an inevitable situation such as this.
If it was offered...excuse me...I missed it!
The most logical route would be to use the same chems used in recovering I2 from the HI/RP rxn waste.
Last time I checked...it was NAOH to reach an equilibrium in strong acidic to collect the organic, then hcl to bring back the savagable I2.
So excuse my skeptisism on seeing SodiumBicarb as the better of the two bases in trying to balance 141ML HCL extra! That's a shitload extra!
I've been known to be wrong before.
So I fail to see the logic in shoving sodium bicarbonate down someones throat when it isn't suggested in I2 Recyling from spent rxn solution.
Any brainiacs care to clear THIS UP???
