pH checking of Oxone

[PoohBear4Ever]

Technical grade, or the "good shit?"

Aldrich only has the good stuff (although when I just looked in the catalog, it was a lot cheaper than last time I looked).

I mean technical grade. Are there other sources for celite, montmorillonite clay etc than the big chem suppliers?

[PoohBear4Ever]

Yea man, I'm trying to locate the source I used last time. I belience it was Voigt Ltd. Global, or something along those lines...

The local pottery store has celite powdered and in discs for 3 bucks a pound. Right next to the diotomacous (spelling)earth and the metal oxides/chlorides. What a wonderful place  

[Rhodium]

Ahaa. Another use for those pottery stores.

[sYnThOmAtIc]

Though the discs are useless they are not pourous enough. I asked the guy what their used for and he said "pot liners."
I didn't bother to ask what the metal oxides and chlorides are used for as I have bought most all that they sell.

Any fucking grocery store.  any.  3m makes them in the kitchen cleaning section.  Scotch brite pads.  they are completely chemicaly resistant so for (dcm al/hg oxone toulene acetone safrole isosafrole epoxide and ketone) 69cents a piece.  after they are caked with oxone wash them with water and reuse them. if they do clog pour the liquid off the top back into the original container and wash the cake with alcohol saving the Oh and toss the remaining powder. any oxone that makes it through the pad will sit on top of the dcm layer this can be removed by a quick water wash. right as the water is poured in a small emulsion of oxone will form which can easily be removed by hand by running a pad through it. Approximate time for a completely clear al/hg work up 6mins.  if a small ammount of hcl is added before the rxn is basified the al hydroxides percipitate as solid chunks.

"3m makes them in the kitchen cleaning section.  Scotch brite pads." Thanks VL_, I'd forgot.

In my part of the world 3M carries a whole range of pad products, so I am not sure what type you mean. Are you saying that those pads perform as good as celite? I feel that hard to believe, but I would be glad to be proven wrong.

[terbium]

IIRC, Celite is just a brand of diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth should be available cheaply in large bags at swimming pool supply stores. It is used for coating the fabric bags of swimming pool filters.

[SuperStar]

VL: SWIM got some of those pads you were talking about.  When you use these are you using a standard plastic hardware store funnel or a Buchner?  If you are using a Buchner is assume you are cutting them into a round shape, they don't seem very wide though. I think this sounds like a really good idea though just trying to figure out exactly how you are using them.

I promise I am starting to catch on, taken me about 6 months but I think I may be figuring this shit out.
Pardon my friend officer, He's a little slow.
