Very good writeup and extraction method!
Simple and OTC. Swim had a dream and in the dream, there was no yellow oil.
No solvent soaks, boils etc. Just baking soda, alcohol and Hcl.
Swim used only 91% isopropyl alcohol!!
5 pints of IPA were used for 50 boxes of white 60's (48 ct) They were a mix of generic 60's containing both tripolidine and chlorpheniramine maleate.
Swim basically used a blender to grind up the 50 boxes. 25 boxes of pill powder in each mason jar. Dumped 1 pint alkie in each jar, shook like hell for a few minutes and let soak overnight.
Swim did not do any actual filtering at first, just syphoned the semi cloudy liquid off the top and dumped into an evap dish. Did this a total of 3 times with each jar until the 5 pints were used up.
Swim took the cap off the HCL bottle and added 1 1/2 capfuls of muriatic to the alkie. Stirred it up and evaporated at low temp until nearly half of the volume was gone.
Swim added baking soda until the ph registered as 5. (4-5 heaping teaspoons) until no more carbonation/bubbling was noticed after additions. Evapped on low for like 5 minutes.
Fresh IPA was added to the soup because some of the cloudiness fell to the bottom as residual pill mass. Swim wasnt sure if some of this was pseudo or not.
Diluted it fairly well with alkie and then fine filtered through charmin. The filtering took forever.
Evapped it all the way down to a skin, then allowed to cool in front of fan.
Boiled/washed 3 times with acetone. The pseudo looks clean, plentiful and O1, O2 and "neo-fat" free.
Hopefully tomorrow Swim will elaborate a little further as to what transpired in his dream, so we can get an accurate yield report.
Hopefully, Swim will do at least 1 recrystallization with ISO IPA to bee certain of purity.
No KOH or Xylene necessary.
Happy daze are here again!
No more PM's asking for an A-Z extraction method. All replys will get a UTFSE response.
Its easy to pull a barkingburro and you can too!
Thanks barkingburro; you rule!!
