(slow to load) Salvia Divinorum Salvinorin Extraction and Refinement FAQ. ver. 9.9.6

Recommended Posts

I just received word from a chemist that he has refined the process further using other solvents to remove lipid fats which work better than Naphtha. Here is a quote:

 

quote:

After the naphtha washes, toluene or xylenes will remove more colored impurities from the salvinorin that naphtha leaves behind, almost eliminating the need for washing with isopropanol.

 

Xylenes or toluene are better than isopropanol for the follwing reasons:

 

They are less dense, so the crystals fall to the bottom of the container faster for easier separation.

 

They are drier so less water that can ruin the salvinroin-A by ester hydrolysis is added

 

They dissolve less salvinorin-A, so the yield is higher.

 

They evaporate more quickly.

 


I am asking for permission to include it in the tech with credit to the individual who brought it to me, but have not received that permission yet.
