I appreciatetheinformation on saturated IPA.
However, I will contend as I have before
much to the bemusement of some,
that bubbling air thru HCL,
and thence thru a drier,
and then to the reaction vessell,
is in fact the easiest, most foolproof,
and expeditious method for many.
advantages:
1. on/off readily.
2. little or no chemical hazard.
3. relatively inexhaustible.
4. cheap
==============
disadvantage
1. slow, compared to the more concentrated gas
achieved by some above methods.
this can be ameliorated by:
a: Warming the container.
1. THIS can be done easily
by placing in a crock-pot cooker..
2. Because the system takes ZERO attention,
the 10 minutes to 1/2 hour it takes(for the process)
is not excessive. (IMHO)
===========
A $6 aquarium pump,
two 2 hole stoppers,
and some tubing...
I am appreciative of the work it took
to make the comparison,
and the presentation style
is one I should emulate.
I would invite you actually trying this
and commenting,
because most who take a dump on it
have not tried it:
whereas I have tried two of the above
and consider this technique superior.
Until you experience
"stick in the tube
and flip the switch"
processing,
you'll not appreciate it..
==============
PS:the drier which I currently use,
epsoms in a Snapple bottle,
is overlain by some
indicating material which
advises when water vapor is
getting to it.
The epsoms is
rapidly and thoroughly dried
in the microwave.
Thank you.
